[All In with Chris Hayes @allinwithchris]

The Post and Courier used public records to corroborate details of the woman’s life described in the FBI interview where she accused Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump of abusing her as a minor. Marilyn Thompson joins to discuss her reporting. https://t.co/L0OFnw6DTu

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

This @postandcourier investigation of the woman accusing Pres Trump and Epstein of sexual assault is excellent. The allegations remain unproven. But the reporters confirmed elements of her story, and the blackmail by Epstein illuminates his business model. https://t.co/yJQco6MgLy

[Ed Lavandera @edlavaCNN]

I can’t believe Aaron Parsley @FreshParsley of @TexasMonthly had the strength to write this story about what his family endured in the #GuadalupeRiver flood. It will leave you frozen.

[The Wall Street Journal @WSJ]

After hours of drinking, Scott Spivey got into his pickup and, by all accounts, was in no condition to drive. His killer caught up with him a couple of miles down the road. https://t.co/ppFg0wmvj3

The Michelin Guide will begin coverage of the American South in 2025, meaning restaurants in South Carolina can now earn a Michelin rating. But it comes at a price. https://t.co/4yX6b0uqtX

El Salvador Pres. Nayib Bukele won't return a Maryland man wrongly deported there.
Under Bukele, the country has jailed over 85,000 people to curb gang violence.

Last February, @EvaHerscowitz + I wrote about N. Chs' new anti-violence program. The FBI opened an investigation the same month. Last week, 8 people were charged in a public corruption case. Here's how it unfolded, w/@glennsmith5⬇️ https://t.co/O78E3iklZD

By the end of 2025, research shows a third of U.S. local newspapers will be closed for good. Many remaining are broke and understaffed. But local newsrooms are still a vital force for good in communities across the country. Proof, just in the last year, of what we stand to lose:

[Nick Reynolds @IAmNickReynolds]

Good morning everyone. Let the anxiety begin.

I'll be clocking in a little later with the rest of the @postandcourier crew for election night. I'll bop into some polling places, and split the evening between Dem and GOP watch parties in Columbia.

Here's what I'm watching...

Charleston is one of the deadliest places for pedestrians in the country. Most recent deaths happened on the same 5 state-owned roads.

[Charlotte Alter @CharlotteAlter]

A teen who was 6m pregnant died after being denied care in three different Texas emergency rooms. She started to miscarry on the morning of her baby shower. They had to "confirm fetal demise" before treating her. It was too late.

[Nick Reynolds @IAmNickReynolds]

Since the death penalty resumed in SC, I've been doing a lot of thinking.

About life. About death. About the nature of forgiveness and, more than that, whether even those who have committed the most heinous deeds can find redemption.

So I wrote this.

Why it matters: On social media, some users were quick to cast doubt on the elections system in South Carolina and falsely accused the two counties of trying to "stuff ballots" in favor of one political party. All signs point to it being a clerical error.

"Staggering amounts of rain fell. Water coursed down the mountains’ folds. Streams suddenly became rivers, and rivers became lakes, and in a matter of days, this refuge for so many became a killing zone."

I am one of three media witnesses inside the death chamber tonight. I will report what happened once the execution is complete.

We don't get our phones, watches or any kind of recording devices. Just a prison-issued pen and pad.

[Kathryn Casteel @kathryncasteel]

Some watchdog work from @kenna_coe this morning. A controversial restaurant in North Charleston with ties to a city councilman recently rebranded just a year after opening. Records show they never paid hospitality taxes, and they weren't the only ones.

Great digging here from @johnwramsey, who has been peeling away the layers of this onion for months, uncovering a wealth of potential prescription fraud.
