The @APnews visual representation of the cascade of news alerts in the first 100 days of the Trump administration won NPF's 2025 Innovative Storytelling Award. Congrats to journalists @HumeraLodhi, @MayaSweedler, @Sara_Burnett, Linda Gorman and Annie Ng: nationalpress.org/award-story/th…

"No Other Land," the Palestinian-Israeli made film showing the destruction of the occupied West Bank's Masafer Yatta by Israeli soldiers, just won the Oscar for Best Documentary. It can't get a distributor in the US. Which tells you everything about censorship in the US.

First Ramadan Iftar in Gaza, Palestine.

In June, a woman named Stephenie reached out to @propublica. An outreach worker told her we were reporting on cities conducting sweeps of homeless encampments, and she had a story to tell. 🧵

From New Jersey to Hawaii, Trump made inroads in surprising places in his path to the White House apnews.com/article/trump-… (With @philmarcelo, @audreymcavoy, @HumeraLodhi, Parker Kaufmann.)

Trump became the first GOP presidential candidate in over 20 years to win Dearborn. Some credit his last-minute visit, while others cite a misstep by Bill Clinton, whom the Harris campaign had asked to go to the city before he offended Arab Americans. apnews.com/article/trump-…

AP lede for the history books:

Miami-- and pretty much every region in Florida-- shifted significantly right tonight compared to 2020. Past race comparisons have been the most interesting graphics for me to watch tonight apnews.com/projects/elect…

Another important piece of election night data to follow: @AP votecast. It's live and will update throughout the night. It's a surveyed look at what issues shaped voters choices this election cycle. We created some cool viz that explores all the data! apnews.com/projects/elect…

I led the design for the graphics, along with an incredibly talented group of journalists. It's been my baby for the past few months. We have other new viz that'll be going live throughout the night tomorrow, so I'll be sharing some additional context on the graphics as well!

Something unique the AP has: insights from the election from the team that calls the races (decision desk). These race calls are used by most newsrooms across the country. We have decision notes on each state's prez races + the team'll be providing live context on key races

🧵📊Very excited about @AP's live election results tracking all U.S. elections + ballot measures and a bunch of other cool features: advance vote, poll close tracking, past race comparison, votecast survey viz and live context from the decision desk. apnews.com/projects/elect…

Minnesota, with a large Somali Muslim population, was the focus of the uncommitted campaign's Super Tuesday efforts

A pretty significant share of uncommitted voters coming in from MN tonight--currently more than MI. And in Hennepin, the state's largest county, where 99% of votes have been counted, over 25% voted uncommitted. apnews.com/projects/elect…
