People participating in the "Take Our Border Back" convoy gather in
Dripping Springs, Texas, February 2, 2024.

The REAL Threat at Our Border
:
As Rick Perlstein explains in the latest installment of The Infernal
Triangle, the real danger facing Texas isn't an "invasion" of
migrants. It's the far right.

Pre-Preemption
:
GOP-controlled states are blocking liberal cities from passing
legislation residents desperately need, despite widespread voter
support. Harold Meyerson reports on how Republican state legislatures
prevent the will of urban voters for our February print issue.

Casualties of a Failed Health Care System
:
A broken healthcare system has left hospitals around the country in
shambles, even at the elite Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.
Staffing shortages, mergers, and our system of profits over patient
care, Robert Kuttner writes, are to blame.

From Flint to East Palestine and Back
:
A year after the train derailment in East Palestine, residents are still
waiting for Washington lawmakers to fund studies on the ongoing health
impacts. Gabrielle Gurley has the story.

Blowing the Door Off Boeing's 'Epstein Deal'
:
In 2008, the same Deputy AG that gave Jeffrey Epstein a sweetheart plea
deal won a similar deal for Boeing after the 737 Max murders. Now,
Maureen Tkacik reports, a lawyer who represented Epstein's victims is
suing the Department of Justice to determine whether Boeing deployed the
same tactics to avoid prosecution.
