A megabill mystery: New solar and wind tax comes as a surprise to Republican senators "I don't know where it came from," Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., the chairman of the Budget Committee, told NBC News after he released the 940-page legislation.

This is less of a how-the-sausage-is-made story and more of a no-one-knows-who-makes-the-sausage story.

A preacher’s dark secret: Sleepovers, porn and sex abuse allegations dating back decades Joe Campbell says his calling is to share God’s love, but a group of women say he sexually abused them as girls. An NBC News investigation uncovered decades of missed warnings and failures to act.

Powerful storytelling here about the 40-year mission to stop a Pentecostal preacher accused of raping children.

Joe Campbell is accused of abusing children across the south + midwest. A group of survivors have banded together.

A stunning narrative and documentary:

I watched all the White House influencer briefings and ID’d each person in attendance.

All but one have displayed clear pro-Trump bias β€” several were former members of Trump’s administration, one has said he is Barron’s β€œbest friend”

CDC 'disease detectors' among hundreds fired as Trump administration ramps up agency cuts Administration officials last week informed CDC leaders of plans to cut up to 10% of its workforce as it targeted federal probationary employees.

New: Last night, hundreds of CDC post-doc fellows were fired, including all in the group who call themselves the "disease detectors," and are the future of public health lab leaders. One senior official told me, "It is going to cripple public health for decades."
