American citizens have been brutalized, pepper-sprayed, and killed on the streets of Minneapolis. For many, one particular breakdown is a final, damning cause for despair: Minnesota's apparent inability to investigate and potentially prosecute the federal agents responsible. The Department of Homeland Security on Saturday reportedly blocked Minnesota officials from examining the scene of Alex Pretti's shooting. Access was refused even after state officials got a judicial search warrant. As a result, key forensic evidence was almost certainly lost. This comes after state officials were excluded from the investigation into Renee Good's death. Federal obstruction of Minnesota's criminal investigation merits more creative pushback from the state: Leaving investigations in the hands of DHS alone sends a powerful message to ICE officers. It tells them that even if they effectively execute a U.S. citizen who presents no threat on camera on a public street, they will face no consequences'a recipe for future tragedies. The state's interest in finding a way to at least create some deterrence to deadly federal lawlessness is not just a matter of justice: It is also a way of keeping its people safe moving forward....

Last year, starting in January, the United States experienced its largest documented measles outbreak in more than three decades, when an epidemic centered on West Texas sickened at least 762 people. Now a fast-moving outbreak in South Carolina seems poised to surpass it: Local officials have logged 700 infections, and the virus is still rapidly spreading. As public-health officials scramble to contain the virus, they're also trying to figure out whether these two outbreaks are connected'specifically, whether the version of the pathogen that kick-started the West Texas cases has been circulating within the nation's borders ever since. If the answer is yes, it will mean that measles has once again become a permanent resident of this country, after 26 years of only limited outbreaks imported from abroad. Given that the U.S. clocked more than 2,200 measles cases in 2025'more than it has had in a single year since 1991'the experts I spoke with already consider this the reality that Americans are living in. One of the fastest-spreading viral diseases ever documented has once again become a routine threat....

The sale marks the end of a decade-long investment for KKR, which first acquired Goodpack in 2014 through a privatisation of the then Singapore-listed group. The Lam family is understood to have retained a minority stake following that transaction. KKR had explored options to exit Goodpack since 2020 and formally put the business up for sale in October 2024. Infrastructure investor I Squared Capital was previously reported as a frontrunner, with Brookfield Asset Management and Apollo Global Management also said to have shown interest. Founded in 1980, Goodpack operates a global leasing model for reusable pallet-sized intermediate bulk containers used to transport high-value payloads by road, rail, and sea. The business serves multinational clients across industrial and logistics supply chains. A source said the buyback reflects the family's belief that Goodpack is entering a new phase of growth as global customers redesign supply chains to improve resilience, efficiency, and sustainability....
