Trump called Infantino on Wednesday to get Balogun's red card lifted. Nice to ride alon with Tyler Pager on what will be seen (and is) in many parts as one of the biggest scandals in World Cup history. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/05/u...

Ahead of America’s 250th anniversary,Trump wanted to erase any “disparaging” history in the national parks. We documented + visualized the vast scale of this unprecedented censorship campaign. Very proud of this months-long team effort for @us.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...
