My look inside the court cases of accused noncitizen voters @AP: The GOP stoked fears of noncitizens voting. Cases in Ohio show how rhetoric and reality diverge apnews.com/article/noncit…

Chris Quintana truly makes hay out of y'all's pitches in a way I have rarely seen:

What a tremendous privilege to celebrate @biancavtoness and @sharonlurye this week, and all of our amazing @AP colleagues honored for the top journalism and achievement of the year.

"As Canada pushes to expand euthanasia ... health care workers here are grappling with requests from people whose pain might be alleviated by money, adequate housing or social connections." Heartbreaking reporting on what it means to live in poverty: apnews.com/article/euthan…
