The storm continued to disrupt thousands of flights Monday, and about 560,000 customers from West Texas to Maine were without power for a third day. Around 21,000 flights in or out of U.S. airports have been canceled because of the storm, according to flight-data provider FlightAware, although restrictions on flights were improving Monday. That is down from more than 11,600 flights canceled Sunday as the storm battered the Southeast and moved north. The storm knocked out power for about 560,000 homes and businesses as of Monday evening, according to PowerOutage.us, which monitors electrical outages. Parts of Boston saw nearly 17 inches of snow Sunday, while Newark recorded more than 12 inches, according to the weather service.

And officials have indicated that a big reason why is how top members of the Department of Homeland Security botched the response to Alex Pretti’s killing Saturday. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called it “domestic terrorism,” and Trump falsely claimed that Good “willfully and viciously ran over” an ICE agent. The response to Pretti’s killing was also very much in line with how we’ve seen Noem and a top DHS spokesperson operate. Stateline.org last week ran down a number of other instances of official DHS claims about incidents being called into question or contradicted by other evidence. A few hours after his death, McLaughlin got the ball rolling on a very full-throated initial DHS response.

The Washington Post has consistently produced high-quality, news cycle-leading reporting over the first year of Donald Trump’s chaotic and unpredictable second administration. The sections most likely to be affected by the cuts include sports, metro and foreign, according to staffers who spoke with the Guardian. “We know what happens when newspapers slash their international sections: they lose reach and they lose relevance,” the staffers wrote. “I was the Washington Post’s Olympics beat writer from 1988-96,” wrote veteran sports columnist Christine Brennan in a post on X. Some current and former Post staffers who spoke with the Guardian conveyed a sense that Bezos, who acquired the Post in 2013 from family ownership, is missing in action.
Global health experts say the Thursday move weakens American safety and scientific capacity more than it addresses those concerns [1]. What WHO doesThe World Health Organization is the United Nations’ specialized health agency, created in 1948 to coordinate international responses to disease outbreaks, set health standards and support countries’ public health systems [5]. COVID-19’s central role in US withdrawalThe pandemic response was the central justification for withdrawal. Critics note that WHO must rely on member states for data and access with limited formal power over them.
