I’ve been an investigative reporter most of my career, and I feel lucky because long ago, when I was starting out, I didn’t take the advice of one of my elders. I learned a lot of the basics in that first job, but I learned nothing about investigative reporting. Because the paper did almost no investigative reporting. The definition of investigative reporting began to change during the Vietnam War. One of the earliest investigations I undertook with Don Barlett—a fellow investigative reporter with whom I worked for more than 40 years—reflected this approach.

The US military conducted a strike against another alleged drug-trafficking boat in the Caribbean on Friday, killing three people, according to US Southern Command. At least 124 people have now been killed in strikes on suspected drug boats as part of Operation Southern Spear, a campaign the Trump administration says is aimed at curtailing narcotics trafficking. The administration has publicly presented little evidence that those killed in Operation Southern Spear are affiliated with drug cartels, or that each of the vessels had drugs on them. The legality of the strikes has also come under intense scrutiny in Congress since the operations began in September. Multiple current and former military lawyers previously told CNN the strikes do not appear lawful.

ShareCORTINA D’AMPEZZO, Italy (AP) — Washington Post columnist Barry Svrluga was reporting from his first Winter Olympics when Lindsey Vonn left her hospital bed after a crash and returned to compete days later at the 2006 Turin Games. The Post announced two days before the Olympics opened last week that it was eliminating its sports section while laying off a third of its staff. Svrluga’s final column from these Games will mark his final story for the Post. In the meantime, he’s going to try and enjoy the Olympics — and being in Italy — more than he usually does while on assignment.

Rep. Al Muratsuchi (D-Rolling Hills Estates) speaks at a news conference in July 2025 on Terminal Island “to condemn ongoing federal immigration enforcement operations using Terminal Island as a staging ground, calling for an end to these actions.”This is read by an automated voice. Federal immigration agents have departed from the Coast Guard site at Terminal Island in San Pedro, which for months was used as a base of operations while the Trump administration conducted immigration raids across Southern California. The news was met with celebration by local elected officials and community volunteers who tracked the agents’ movements on and off the base since last summer. McOsker attributes the agency’s decision to leave to the vigilance of community members and especially the Harbor Area Peace Patrols. The people kicked them out,” said Ron Gochez, a member of Unión del Barrio, a group that monitors immigration sweeps across Los Angeles and helped create the Harbor Area Peace Patrols.

Now the studio brings us “GOAT,” an underdog tale of a small hooper with a big heart. We meet the scrappy goat when he’s just, well, a kid — as he’s being taken to see his first roarball game by his loving mom. Still, the little goat does enough to go viral, and he’s soon signed by the Thorns’ publicity-hungry warthog owner, Flo Everson (Jenifer Lewis), as the team’s sixth player. Of course, Will’s time in purgatory lasts only so long, “GOAT” from there bouncing its narrative ball all over the place wildly. “GOAT” has some game, but for all the shots it takes, it scores too few points.
