The #AP interviewed the lawyer for Kilmar Abrego Garcia. His lawyer said he wasn’t an activist and he didn’t choose this fight but he’s still hoping for a just resolution to his case. Our story: https://t.co/GNJ4qqvei6

Is being a Marine drill instructor hard? I always think of them as driven and unquestioned in their purpose. Here is a look at the very real pressures of living up to an ideal and what can go wrong without the right support. https://t.co/eTqdj4ginJ

The 5th-grader watched what looked like her house on TV, engulfed in flames. She thought about her fish, imagining it swimming to fish heaven. Then her school burned. Today she and other children came to a new school, yearning for normalcy. @danrosziff https://t.co/bTEjPk258f

In small agricultural towns like Bartow, Ga., that could barely handle another loss, Helene came in with a vengeance. Residents now have to figure out how to recover -- if they can. @allisonbsalerno

In Oxford, Mass., local officials closed public spaces to protect residents against the Eastern equine encephalitis virus. Parents and others responded with measured defiance -- a post-pandemic desire, one said, to stop “living scared.” @jslaternyc https://t.co/kbGypfEwag
