More than two dozen states have reduced how frequently they report what's happening with the pandemic, raising alarm among some public health experts. Are you able to get high-speed Internet where you live? Is cost a barrier? How would your life be changed if you had easier access to broadband? A new federal program created by the Biden administration to reverse years of economic discrimination against U.S. farmers of color has ground to a halt. After losing his seat as Quapaw Tribal Chairman in 2020, John Berrey planned to run for vice-chairman in the upcoming elections, but that move was challenged by registered Quapaw voters because of an ongoing legal controversy surrounding Berrey’s tenure. He already faces criminal charges and could be disenrolled from the Tribe. When the U.S. entered World War I, W.E.B. DuBois and Tulsa lawyer B.C. Franklin saw a rare opportunity: Black Americans serving in the military might finally persuade white citizens that they deserved equal respect.

If you didn't wake up early enough to see Thursday's solar eclipse yourself, photographers from the U.S. to Asia to Europe snapped images of the striking astronomical event. The Electoral College, which has benefited Republicans in some recent elections, also factors into debate over GOP bills aiming to change state-level election laws. At least 19 people have died since 2016 in tribal detention centers overseen by Indian Affairs, our investigation found. Several died after correctional officers failed to provide proper medical care. The House Judiciary Committee released testimony from the former president's White House counsel, Don McGahn, who said Trump's repeated phone calls made him feel "frustrated, perturbed, trapped." TC Energy suspended construction in January when President Biden revoked a key permit. The controversial project was a major flashpoint in the debate over fossil fuels' role in climate change.
