Twenty years ago, I covered the flooding of the city of New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina. Today, 8 percent of all properties in the US lie in floodplains and require flood insurance - and for those homeowners, last week's shutdown has made life a lot more complicated:

I am one of the few reporters who examined Plaskett's relationship with Epstein. She accepted sizeable amounts of money from him and was one of the few people who refused to return campaign contributions even after it was clear he had committed so many crimes against girls.
