Exclusive: An investigation by The Post found NFL owner Jim Irsay spent the last two years of his life in the throes of a relapse he and Colts executives repeatedly hid from the public. He suffered three overdoses between 2020 and his death in May, including two that we uncovered and had not been previously reported. We also found Irsay began receiving ketamine injections as often as 10-14x per day, which experts consider to be a very high number. Ketamine is the powerful anesthetic that contributed to the 2023 death of actor Matthew Perry, who was receiving 6-8x per day.

#ad from AT&T Business: Can your company recover even when the lights go out? The 2003 blackout was the largest in American history. Over 50 million people lost power for up to four days, and downtime cost companies across the country up to $50,000 per hour. As the demands on our nation's aging electrical grid increase, how would your company fare in such a crisis? Software developer and tech educator Tiffany Janzen thinks there are three things companies need to figure out before something goes wrong. https://lnkd.in/euCPWTjk

Honored to write for The Washington Post today on Daniel O'Connell (no relation) — "the Liberator" — and why, on the 250th anniversary of his birth (and the 180th anniversary of his historic meeting with Frederick Douglass), his voice still matters for America. O'Connell's insistence that liberty is indivisible still has force: you cannot love it for yourself and deny it to others.
