The saltwater wedge is coming for New Orleans. While @USACEHQ has bought more time for the city, those 60 miles south have already been overwhelmed. By @brady_dennis w/ a map by @veronica_penney Editing by @katiezez @monicaulmanu and @amandavoisard

3.3 billion now live in arid & water-stressed areas where 40% of the world's water is consumed per @WorldResources Rising temperatures & a growing global population mean 1 billion more will live in these places by 2050. By @veronica_penney @JohnMuyskens

This is not just summer. The heat we're seeing in the southern U.S. and across the planet is dangerous and unlike anything before in modern records. Our wide array of coverage from talented writers and data viz whizzes like @ssdance, @MatthewCappucci @DylanMoriarty

Really great data viz on the smoke from WashingtonPost this morning, featuring smoke data from @StanfordECHOLab and esp our Jessica Li

Wondering if wildfire smoke has been worse than ever in your city this year? @niko_tinius @NaemaAhmed @JohnMuyskens and I have an answer (and a very fun/ sobering look-up tool to see smoke pollution in your city):

Update: Don't bother dealing with @ChaseSupport on social media, unless you think a good time is fielding phone calls from people impersonating Chase employees who want to trick you into looking at penis photos. I wish I was kidding.

@ChaseSupport if you want to get in here and try to make this right, be my guest. 9/9

If this isn’t enough to sway you, I invite you to poke around in this Reddit forum, which I wish I would have done before booking this trip: https://t.co/ADJoznd54G 8/

Customer service said I *might* get a refund to my original method of payment, but also maybe not? So if it doesn’t show up on my next billing cycle, it’s on me to call them, again, and figure out what went wrong. 7/

I won’t get into the special hell that is Chase’s online travel portal. Collective time spent on the phone scheduling these flights and trying to fix Chase’s mistakes? 10 hours, at a conservative estimate. 6/

@Chase seemingly does not have any systems in place to prevent this from happening. I could have just as easily shown up at the airport, bags packed, only to discover that I didn’t have a flight. 5/

Due to work schedules, I can’t just rebook this flight for later this year. On a more personal note, I’ve been trying to plan this specific trip for a few years, and it’s been awful to discover, 48 hours in advance, that I can’t go. 4/

When I tried to confirm directly with the airline, I was informed I don’t actually have tickets for my flight, which is scheduled to depart in two days. And after four hours of transfers and holds, @Chase said that there just aren’t any tickets for my travel dates. Too bad! 3/

Three months ago, I booked round-trip flights to Europe through @Chase. They sent me a confirmation email saying, “Hey, your tickets are booked!” but never actually passed that reservation along to the airline. 2/

I never hop on Twitter to talk badly about businesses, but trying to book any travel with @Chase is such a nightmare that I feel like someone should say something. If you have a Chase travel card, this one's for you. 1/

Prosecutors representing more than half the state’s population unveiled new data on Thursday that showed racial biases in how they offer plea deals, who gets jail time pre-trial and who gets offered probation versus a jail or prison sentence, @CPRNews https://t.co/RiG1OyovE6

Here's the land in central Denver that will be controlled by the Walton family if the sale of the Broncos goes through. https://t.co/7fKvMsAkd4 via @Dez_AM, @veronica_penney and @CPRMarkus

Following the Broncos sale, more than 150 acres of land in downtown Denver will be owned by companies with ties to the Walton family (of Walmart). Here’s what that looks like. With @CPRMarkus @Dez_AM for @Denverite
