With data from @nytimes API, I analyzed all national local coverage since 2000—224K articles— to see which topics in each state get covered out of proportion to the rest of the country. A portrait of how the paper of record sees America, one state per tweet, alphabetical. 👇

Colorado is already in one of the worst droughts in the history of the West. Climate change is making it worse and harder for our farmers yet the president calls climate change a hoax, has cut climate research, and started a war that’s driving up the price of gas and fertilizer.

An Oklahoma sports betting bill under consideration would direct up to $7 million a year from sportsbooks to the NBA's Oklahoma City Thunder; The Thunder had been considered for a sports betting license in other bills, but are not eligible under the proposal set for a vote today

We don’t have time to waste, and neither does the Colorado River. Litigation won’t solve the problem – the best path forward is the one we take together.

As the first reanalysis data become available, I think I can say with a fairly high degree of confidence that the March 2026 heatwave will go down as the most anomalously extreme heat event ever observed at any time of year in the southwestern U.S.

$1.5 BILLION. Let me say it again - a $1.5 BILLION BET.
Bigger than any futures purchases made at the time.
5 minutes before Trump's post.
Who was it? Trump? A family member? A White House staffer?
This is corruption. Mind blowing corruption.

BREAKING: Just five minutes before Trump's announcement to halt the attacks on Iran, massive trades reportedly hit the market.
In one move, $1.5 billion in S&P 500 (ES) futures was bought while $192 million in oil (CL) futures was sold.
These orders were 4–6x larger than anything else at the time.
The trader seemingly made huge gains.
Unusual.

In a final plea to the Trump administration, @SNWA_H20 and @CRCofNV have proposed a two-year plan to stabilize the Colorado River.
Beyond 2028, Nevada says the seven states must reevaluate operating plans twice a year. Story @reviewjournal: reviewjournal.com/local/loca…

NEW: President Trump's first veto of his second term kills a unanimous bill to fund a major drinking water project in Colorado. Trump had threatened punishment for Colorado for imprisoning his ally Tina Peters. 9news.com/article/news/polit…

I'm on my third coffee shop, I just keep moving east as they lose power like some sort of Wi-Fi nomad. On the bright side, I have sampled a very wonderful collection of caffeinated holiday beverages so it won't matter that the wind would have kept me up all night anyway.
