Investigative journalism is more important now more than ever. In 1975, a small group of reporters from around the country created the Investigative Reporters and Editors (IRE) with a mission to promote excellence in investigative journalism. (1/7) www.ire.org/donate/

We get it. I’ll watch “Stranger Things.” Chillllll #DETvsMIN

The next time someone asks you why you don’t like Christmas, just sigh and say, “Well, I know how this particular story ends.”

NEW: Medical License Revoked for Montana Doctor Linked to Suspicious Deaths Oncologist Thomas C. Weiner will never practice medicine in Montana again after a decision by the state medical board. A 2024 ProPublica investigation detailed how Weiner had long been suspected of hurting patients.

Dr. Thomas C. Weiner, the oncologist who was the subject of my 2024 ProPublica investigation, will never again practice medicine in the state of Montana. One victim’s widow: “It’s definitely welcomed news — very happy to hear it — but with the caveat that this whole thing took way too long.”

CBS News may not want you to see its CECOT reporting, but I'm happy to share this powerful video that our team produced this year.

CBS didn't run the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT, but over here at @propublica.org we've been working on the story since March, including finding out who each and every man sent to that maximum security prison was. You can see our reporting here: www.propublica.org/series/depor...

Read @davidmcswane.bsky.social's original 2024 investigation into Dr. Weiner here:

My pal Mara Silvers has the story of Dr. Weiner finally losing his license for @montanafreepress.org montanafreepress.org/2025/12/20/m...

Big news out of Montana: Dr. Thomas Weiner has lost his license and will never practice medicine there again as the medical board finally responds to reports that he hurt and mistreated people. They noted Scott Warwick, who got 10 years of chemo etc, died from it, but never had cancer. Context 👇

Today, unionized nonprofit newsrooms across the country are standing shoulder-to-shoulder to demand that news industry leaders agree to common-sense guardrails around the implementation of artificial intelligence to protect the integrity, quality and accuracy of our journalism.

Egg producers suspect bird flu is traveling through the air. After a disastrous Midwestern outbreak early this year, we tested that theory and found that where the wind blew, the virus followed. Vaccines could help, but the USDA hasn’t approved them.

Months after a judge tossed out his 1998 murder conviction, Jimmie Duncan is free on bail. But prosecutors have asked the Louisiana Supreme Court to reinstate the death penalty for Duncan, even as the victim’s mother has come to support his release. @richardawebster.bsky.social @veritenews.org

It's simple — @propublica.org workers should not be replaced by artificial intelligence. Our contract proposal specifically says that generative artificial intelligence ("GAI") should not be used to replace employees. Management struck out this entire section in their response to our proposal.

Does this guy know how to party or what?

U.S. ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra is supporting Trump trade policies linked to job losses in his former congressional district. @annaleighclark.bsky.social reports from Zeeland, Michigan, with photography by @jamiekelterdavis.bsky.social for @propublica.org

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I kinda miss Cris Collinsworth. Jason Garrett is not it.

🚨 NEW/EXCLUSIVE: The FBI turned over dozens of emails to me in response to my #FOIA request that provides a behind-the-scenes look at discussions involving the review and redaction of the Epstein files www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Been saying this for literally my entire life.

NEW: ProPublica has found multiple cases of women with underlying health conditions who died when they couldn’t access abortions. Tierra Walker, a 37-year-old mother, was told by doctors there was no emergency before preeclampsia killed her.

I have been thinking about this line today, on the value of editors, from the late great John Bennet, for no reason in particular.

After a bird flu outbreak tore through Midwestern barns, killing millions of chickens and spiking egg prices, the federal government didn’t investigate if the virus was airborne. So ProPublica did. Absolutely terrifying reporting from @natlash.bsky.social: www.propublica.org/article/bird...

NEW: The White House intervened on behalf of accused sex trafficker Andrew Tate during a federal investigation. “It was so offensive to what we’re all here to do, to uphold the law and protect the American people,” one official involved said. www.propublica.org/article/andr...

As all investigative reporters know, build the timeline. This is a truly brilliant exercise in that, which delivers far more than chronology. While claiming nothing, it tells you everything. Bravo. www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

Border Patrol chief Gregg Bovino is testifying in federal court today. I hope the judge asks Bovino about his agents ignoring her orders to use body cams. I've found case after case. I know b/c i long reported on body-cams. No flashing light = not on. Here's another. And more below.

NEW: On the eve of Greg Bovino's court-ordered appearance before Judge Sara Ellis, lawyers in the case ask her to fully bar the feds from using tear gas until she rules on a preliminary injunction. "Something must be done. Defendants are plainly in contempt, and sanctions are warranted."

Fellow journalists: Please spread the word about the True Story Award, which is so much more than a journalism contest. It honors journalism’s indispensable role in the world and works to strengthen reporters everywhere. 1/3

Weird to see Russell Wilson having success at Mile High.

The Department of Homeland Security has purchased two Gulfstream private jets for Kristi Noem, the secretary, and other top department officials at a cost of $172 million, according to documents reviewed by The New York Times.

Justice Brett Kavanaugh: “If the officers learn that the individual they stopped is a U.S. citizen...they promptly let the individual go." The reality: Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. A must read from the very talented @nicolefoy.bsky.social:

“They referred to Black people as monkeys and “the watermelon people” and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies and driving them to suicide and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.”

Today I spoke with Greg Bovino, a top U.S. Border Patrol chief, as he led dozens of feds in military gear through downtown Chicago. He said they were arresting folks based on “how they look.” “How do they look compared to, say, you?” he said, referring to me. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

#Texas is spending at least $1B over the next 2 years on private ed. @propublica.org & @texastribune.org found more than 60 instances of nepotism, self-dealing and conflicts of interest among 27 private schools, likely an undercount. 📰: @emsimani.bsky.social and Lexi Churchill

Don’t listen to this guy. The movie was a joy. Laughed out loud. Better than expected. Fresh where it needed to be.

Journalism can take you to some fun places.

Congressional reps have been denied access to the 10th Floor at Federal Plaza on the grounds that it's not a detention facility. Videos, testimony and data reviewed by @thecity.nyc show dozens held there for days, sleeping on the floor, subsisting on cookies, and using an open toilet stall
