Instead, Sohn found herself the target of an aggressive campaign funded by a conservative group that doesn’t have to disclose its donors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68490eab1a267613dff6ffe5/745877b3-a2f1-493d-859d-0966fc8ffcdc/Screenshot+2025-06-11+at+12.22.18%E2%80%AFPM.png Work - US REPORTING WOODSTOCK, Ga. (AP) — Conservative activists in Georgia and some other states are quietly pushing a way to remove names from the voting rolls without filing a formal legal challenge. They’re asking election administrators to use their data to purge voter registrations, which means names could be removed in a less public process than a formal voter challenge. The strategy could mean electors won’t be summoned in advance to defend their voting rights and the identities of those seeking to purge voters might not be routinely public. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68490eab1a267613dff6ffe5/7134c484-9e72-4887-a061-af7236a4f1f3/Screenshot+2025-06-11+at+12.26.06%E2%80%AFPM.png Work - US REPORTING WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump’s political fundraising machine is raking in donations at a prodigious pace, but he’s spending tens of millions of dollars he’s bringing in to pay attorneys to deal with the escalating costs of the various criminal cases he is contending with as he moves further into the 2024 presidential campaign. Campaign finance experts say using the money to pay for lawyers in cases not related to the campaign or officeholder duties appears to conflict with a federal ban on the personal use of donor dollars, even though the Federal Election Commission has ruled the prohibition doesn’t apply to so-called leadership political action committees. The massive amount of money going to lawyers also amplifies the urgency Trump is feeling to raise money both for the campaign and his legal defense, which is unfolding on multiple fronts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68490eab1a267613dff6ffe5/c5acf1bb-fd53-47c5-a116-92a3ccae0045/Screenshot+2025-06-11+at+12.48.12%E2%80%AFPM.png Work - US REPORTING WASHINGTON (AP) — JD Vance not long ago described conspiracy theories as the feverish imaginings produced by “fringe lunatics writing about all manner of idiocy.” That was before he became a rising star in Republican politics. https://www.trentondaniel.com/work/lifestyle-6fheh monthly 0.5 2025-06-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68490eab1a267613dff6ffe5/fe187dbd-c62c-49c5-a231-5994a6cac38b/Screenshot+2025-06-11+at+2.42.07%E2%80%AFAM.png Work - INTERNATIONAL REPORTING SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — With jokes, upbeat Caribbean music and vacation scenes of sun-kissed beaches and palm trees, Haitian influencers on YouTube and TikTok advertise charter flights to South America. But they are not targeting tourists. Instead, they are touts for a thriving, little-known shadow industry that is profiting from the U.S. government sending people back to Haiti, a country besieged by gang violence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68490eab1a267613dff6ffe5/3af8e255-b7bd-4d16-b2d0-1b06795a3ff1/Screenshot+2025-06-11+at+10.48.37%E2%80%AFAM.png Work - INTERNATIONAL REPORTING PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — The deadly earthquake that leveled Haiti’s capital more than two years ago brought a thread of hope: a promise of renewal. With the United States taking the lead, international donors pledged billions of dollars to help the country “build back better,” breaking its cycle of dependency. But after the rubble was cleared and the dead buried, what the quake laid bare was the depth of Haiti’s dysfunction. Today, the fruits of an ambitious, $1.8 billion U.S. reconstruction promise are hard to find. Immediate, basic needs for bottled water, temporary shelter and medicine were the obvious priorities. But projects fundamental to Haiti’s transformation out of poverty, such as permanent housing and electric plants in the heavily hit capital of Port-au-Prince have not taken off. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68490eab1a267613dff6ffe5/5b7d7fb7-5046-46fc-b878-541353e0cc8b/Screenshot+2025-06-11+at+10.59.06%E2%80%AFAM.png Work - INTERNATIONAL REPORTING PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Six days a week, the rail-thin athlete sets off at daybreak, his neon-green running shoes glowing in the grey light of dawn. It's hard not to notice Astrel Clovis. He's one of the only runners ever seen in Port-au-Prince, where there are few sidewalks, let alone bike lanes, and major thoroughfares seemed more pothole than road even before disaster struck this city three years ago. Like virtually all Haitians in the capital of 3 million, the runner's life was disrupted by the catastrophic earthquake on Jan. 12, 2010. But a month later he was back on the streets, resuming his routine along with the rest of the country. His daily run is a tour of a capital on a slow mend, a jaunt past what has been accomplished so far and what remains to be done. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68490eab1a267613dff6ffe5/fce85dca-f94d-45aa-aaf1-c3809e5b705b/Screenshot+2025-06-11+at+11.54.38%E2%80%AFAM.png Work - INTERNATIONAL REPORTING PEPILLO SALCEDO, Dominican Republic (AP) — In a blue bay that spans the border of Haiti and the Dominican Republic, fishermen from both countries recently aired grievances in a rare face-to-face meeting thanks to the efforts of marine biologist Jean Wiener. The meeting, overseen by Dominican naval officers with rifles, was no small feat for Wiener, who has been forced to work on conserving this biologically sensitive region from afar — his house in Bethesda, Maryland — because of rampant violence in Haiti, his homeland. Now the prize-winning biologist stood in the Caribbean heat at the mouth of a spot called the Massacre River, trying to bring together the two sides and find a solution that will not only save their livelihoods but also vital marine resources in a region under extreme pressures from climate change. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68490eab1a267613dff6ffe5/5839d675-f8d5-43aa-b768-69d509e67c60/Screenshot+2025-06-11+at+11.58.04%E2%80%AFAM.png Work - INTERNATIONAL REPORTING BELLE ANSE, Haiti (AP) -- The hardship of hunger abounds amid the stone homes and teepee-like huts in the mountains along Haiti's southern coast. The hair on broomstick-thin children has turned patchy and orangish, their stomachs have ballooned to the size of their heads and many look half their age — the tell-tale signs of malnutrition. Mabriole town official Geneus Lissage fears that death is imminent for these children if Haitian authorities and humanitarian workers don't do more to stem the hunger problems. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68490eab1a267613dff6ffe5/11f70d2c-c813-4373-8d90-5090c05602bf/Screenshot+2025-06-11+at+2.53.48%E2%80%AFPM.png Work - INTERNATIONAL REPORTING Standing at the edge of a 10-acre stretch of dusty green fields on the outskirts of the Haitian capital, the blind Juilliard-trained violinist could almost hear the music. Soaring symphonies, beginners' scales, the sounds of hope. Antoine Romel Joseph, who was pinned for 18 hours under rubble from the January earthquake that upended Haiti, has plans for the land. He wants to build a world-class performing arts center for concerts, lessons and recitals. From the ruins of a country, he hopes to create a thing of beauty -- and a ``second life'' for himself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68490eab1a267613dff6ffe5/e213ce0b-4693-464d-b7e4-91c7754c01ca/Screenshot+2025-06-11+at+6.40.55%E2%80%AFPM.png Work - INTERNATIONAL REPORTING One Saturday soon after I first moved to Port-au-Prince, I went to see the legendary "Bad Boy of Compas" at El Rancho, a suburban hotel known for its architectural opulence and its wealthy Colombian clientele. At El Rancho, we found a crowd to match the singer's reputation. Men in suits and sunglasses strutted into the concert hall, escorted by women squeezed into sleek, glossy gowns, everyone spark ling with gold jewelry. A thousand perfumes mixed in the air sickly. When the singer finally took the stage, he was encircled by stacks of electronic equipment, giving the impression of an embattled Third World dictator in his underground bunker. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68490eab1a267613dff6ffe5/bd53c319-ee5f-4c0a-afc6-7ffd1ef43de2/Screenshot+2025-07-01+at+11.54.02%E2%80%AFPM.png Work - INTERNATIONAL REPORTING Darlene Etienne, 17, holds a picture of the French military doctors who treated her aboard the Sirico. After being trapped under rubble for 16 days, she was reunited with her family in a village outside Marchand-Dessalines in Haiti's Artibonite Valley, four hours north of Port-au-Prince. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68490eab1a267613dff6ffe5/1751430014525-33LPSTXY87JLMICHY1JK/Screenshot%2B2025-07-02%2Bat%2B12.14.52%25E2%2580%25AFAM.jpg Work - INTERNATIONAL REPORTING Andy learned it the hard way-selling your soul to the devil stinks. He didn't mean for his wife to be killed in a Satanic sacrifice. He just wanted to live the high life-get a girlfriend, a nice house, and a car (or two-a Mercedes and a Pathfinder). But the high priest was insistent, and Andy was in over his head, and, well, though her blood tasted terrible, things really did start looking up after Merit died. Fast women, fancy clothes, foreign wines, and all the chicken he could eat: If Merit's ghost would just stop haunting him, everything would be fine.
