The OG. I live in Tulsa and drive by his museum often. A true patriot.

I am saddened to hear about former Oklahoma George Nigh’s passing. He was a decent man, a true public servant & a sharp wit in the mold of Will Rogers. nondoc.com/2025/07/30/a... 'A remarkable man': Former Gov. George Nigh dies at 98

Kudos to @nondocmedia.bsky.social @theoklahoman.bsky.social for breaking this 👀 story today. An obvious irony is how Walters has frequently targeted educators and schools throughout the state, accusing them of violating state laws & norms. nondoc.com/2025/07/25/b...

Breaking from @nondocmedia.bsky.social: Muscogee Nation high court rules Muscogee Freedmen are entitled to citizenship & tribal law requiring relationships “by blood” to qualify are unlawful.

TY iPhone for reminding me of my 1986 hair and makeup choices.

ICYMI from @readfrontier.bsky.social: An Oklahoma father hoped to earn a extra money to pay for his upcoming wedding when he received a mysterious text about a tree-trimming job. When he showed up for the tree-trimming job, ICE agents swooped in & arrested him. www.readfrontier.org/stories/okla...

@okcthunder.bsky.social good choice.

“small market” what now? TTFU.

omggg

I am heartbroken to see this amazing warrior @highliburton.bsky.social injured. Praying it’s not as serious as it looked.

If you’re @ire.org conference and need a break from the heavy subjects we’re all learning about, come see my friends talk about what investigative journalists can learn from The Real Housewives.

Cannot wait for @ire.org 2025 to start. I’m such a geek about it that I have all my panels picked out in the app and empty notebooks ready to fill up.

Day 2 of Tulsa Tough, one of the country’s best bike races, especially for crit racers. We are hosting riders from the Cliff Family Foundation (founders or Cliff Bars).

Ouch

I know I’m super late with this comment but that game was a quality win last night. They did what they needed to do.

🧵 @baltimorebeat.bsky.social matters because we are thoughtful about not only what stories are told, but who is telling the story. Here’s a few examples of reporting you won’t see anywhere else in the city.

LET’S GET THIS WIN. @osuathletics.bsky.social

I love how emotional and dramatic the Sports Animal talk show guys are.

This @okcthunder.bsky.social game has been a year.

So humbled that our project, "The Life of the Mother," has won the Pulitzer Prize for public service. Thank you Mayron Hollis and the families of Amber Thurman, Candi Miller, Josseli Barnica, Nevaeh Crain and Porsha Ngumezi for trusting us to tell their stories. www.propublica.org/article/prop...

Reporter Kavitha Surana discusses her groundbreaking work on our “Life of the Mother” project @propublica.org, including the importance of persistence and belief in your story even when the key sources tell you to go away. @berkeleyjournalism.bsky.social #LoganSymposium2025

Had lunch on Lake Merritt today with this guy, my youngest son. I’m so proud of the kind, funny and interesting man he has grown to be. Also he says that since he dyed his hair red, people my age (older Gen X) tell him he looks like David Bowie, which he finds flattering and amusing.

Love this piece by @marisakabas.bsky.social. I’ve been in this situation many times before @readfrontier.bsky.social and it’s infuriating. It’s not that hard to be generous with credit at or near the top of a story. www.thehandbasket.co/p/independen...

Listening to an all-star panel of editors talking about the important work of covering the Trump administration @berkeleyjournalism.bsky.social #logansymposium2025

Just saw journalism legend James Steele at the SFO airport and I stopped and told him how inspired I was hearing him through the years speak at IRE about connecting dots with documents and human sources. When you see heroes in the wild, tell them they’re appreciated.

NEW: The bill stops short of removing what doctors say are the biggest impediments to care, including its major criminal penalties, and doesn’t expand abortion access to cases of fetal anomalies, rape or incest. By @cassandrajaramillo.bsky.social and Lizzie Presser

Here’s the OGs who took a leap of faith together 10 years ago and started @readfrontier.bsky.social … I’m so proud of what it has grown into. Hats off to @dmgoforth.bsky.social @briokc.bsky.social and Bobby Lorton for continuing to push for high-quality investigative journalism in Oklahoma.

Tulsa friends … Join us tonight at the downtown library to celebrate a decade of fearless local investigative journalism from @readfrontier.bsky.social … (Also free food, drinks and an interview with Mayor Monroe Nichols.)

Journalist friends: I can’t recommend this newsletter by @craigsilverman.bsky.social enough for leveling up your digital investigative skills. open.substack.com/pub/digitali...

Wow that LAC-Denver finish

Thanks to @dmgoforth.bsky.social @caryaspinwall.bsky.social @zivabranstetter.bsky.social and @bobbylorton.bsky.social for spending two hours on a Google Meet call with me ahead of their 10th anniversary celebration next week! facebook.com/events/s/fro...

This quote is hilarious, because everybody knows the reason is that most nonprofit startups do not start with @zivabranstetter.bsky.social and @caryaspinwall.bsky.social

Omg Scott Pruitt. Did I tell you the Southwest Airlines story when I took the seat he was trying to save next to him for his security guy? I can’t even remember but your interview was a really energizing walk down memory lane :) Can’t wait to read this story.

Orange mani, orange and blue bracelets. Ready for @okcthunder.bsky.social

Watch Sean Hannity crash out on my first ever Fox News appearance!

Absolutely chilling details in this expose by Sarah Stillman in @newyorker.com about people all over the country who’ve died in jails from starvation and dehydration. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Congrats to the amazing team I get to work with @propublica.org for this honor from the American Society of Magazine Editors. We won for general excellence and for three stories that are part of our Life of the Mother reporting on abortion. www.propublica.org/atpropublica...

One flight attendant recalled being told: “‘If a fire occurs in the cabin, if we land on water, don’t check on the immigrants. Just make sure that you and the guards and the people that work for the government get off.’” By @mckenziefunk.com

Getting ready to speak @sabew.bsky.social about using FOIA to uncover business records. Here's a tip sheet I created with some advice learned from our investigations @propublica.org and elsewhere. tinyurl.com/nxy56mvf

Thanks Kyle! Here's how to help us do more of this kind of journalism ... www.propublica.org/support/othe...

Today Texas, lawmakers are debating a bill to significantly change standards for who can legally receive abortion care. The bill was prompted by @propublica.org reporting on three Texas women who died after they miscarried and doctors delayed or denied care. www.propublica.org/article/texa...

This story is WOW: A New Missouri Bill Would Let Residents Donate to Anti-Abortion Centers Instead of Paying Any State Taxes @jeremykohler.bsky.social

I feel like whatever happened in the sky tonight is the old person’s version of double rainbows. I’m not going to trip about it but I did squint at the sky and shrug as I went out to dinner.

Many Medicaid recipients do not know they receive it because Medicaid is called different things in different states. The public narrative of Medicaid focuses on a distant other, but 40% of US children and 60% of nursing home residents receive Medicaid. Just SOME of the names by state are below:

When @propublica.org reporters Brett Murphy & @annamaria.bsky.social found out that fired #USAID workers could go to the office one last time to clean out their desks, they pitched this crazy idea. What if we rented a billboard truck to advertise how to get in touch with @propublica.org? So we did.

Who owns our newsroom? No one. ProPublica is a fiercely independent nonprofit. Not even our board or our donors know what we’re working on until it’s published. We are powered by 70,000 of you and counting. Join us: propub.li/4ih6dmJ

“We have measles outbreaks every year," Trump's health secretary said when asked about the death, which is the nation's first in a decade.
