China’s chemical exports are behind a ‘tsunami’ of meth flooding Asia Chinese manufacturers are shipping meth precursor chemicals to warlords in Myanmar, precipitating a drug crisis across the Asia-Pacific, a Post investigation finds.

My latest supercut for @washingtonpost.com:

Our week of breaking news about the crumbling East Wing The White House didn't proactively announce its tear-down. The Washington Post revealed it.

Our week of breaking news about the demolition of the East Wing. A few thoughts from inside the reporting — and on the power of a newsroom to tackle stories like this one.

George Santos, a former U.S. House member expelled for lying about his background, had his prison sentence commuted by President Trump.

His commutation comes less than three months into a seven-year sentence.

These American athletes are finding a second home in South Korean sports Americans Austin Dean, Jameel Warney and Dustin Nippert took a gamble on moving their professional sports careers to South Korea. It paid off.

On the surface, this might seem like just a sports story, or only about how these guys extended their playing careers. But really it’s about life abroad, and how some of us make decisions to move to other countries and what that means for our lives.

I have a feature in The Washington Post today about three American athletes -- Austin Dean, Dustin Nippert and Jameel Warney -- who have found success playing in South Korea's professional sports leagues. Link to the story in the comments.

A hiker vanished into thin air. Twenty years later, her family is left with unknowns. Michelle Vanek’s disappearance mystified investigators, inspired conspiracy theories and became a cautionary tale of the American wilderness.

Great story, well-told, about a case that has been talked about in Colorado for a long time.

She says:

"The Pot Job is a modern western that combines the cannabis industry with the ennui of a not fully committed expat returning to the U.S., full of casual lawlessness and page turning-action. Schaneman's narrative of Henry as the western hero is a refreshing impulse toward introspection."
