One of the toughest conversations we are having daily. Something so safe and effective is being questioned, and children are dying.

Hey, #Idaho …please make sure to read @audreydutton.bsky.social ‘s post and @deldeib.bsky.social ‘s reporting. It is an important story and important information. #IdahoHealth

Folks in Idaho health care and public health, please share Duaa's story with as many people as you can.

This was a hard story to report. Newborns who don’t get a vitamin K shot are 81 times more likely to develop a condition where they bleed uncontrollably. But more and more families are declining the shot. And babies are dying. www.propublica.org/article/more...

Measles has been found in wastewater in Coeur d'Alene (in North Idaho) consistently over the past month. You wouldn't know it from the lack of measles cases being reported to the public health department. data.wastewaterscan.org/tracker/?cha...

I take no pleasure in saying that I and my @propublicaguild.org colleagues are on strike. It shouldn't have come to this and i can only hope that seeing the overwhelming majority of staff walk out today opens management's eyes and convinces them we're serious about our demands.

Today we're taking a collective lunch break in solidarity with @propublicaguild.org's strike for a fair contract. You can support ProPublica Guild by not clicking on or sharing PP stories today, and telling management why you're honoring the digital picket line: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

We're fighting for fair wage minimums, layoff protections and guardrails on artificial intelligence. Support us by signing our petition: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

“We're not asking for the moon here, despite what management keeps trying to tell us. We need a fair and transparent disciplinary system that we can trust so that we can keep speaking truth to power, whether in the Oval Office or inside our newsroom.” — Jeff Ernsthausen, senior data reporter

“We're fighting for fair pay because people deserve to be able to afford to stay in the jobs that they love. We're fighting for protections around AI because this work is done by humans. We love this place. We believe in this work, and we are not backing down.” — Katie Campbell, video journalist

Especially considering that ProPublica is a non-profit that was founded to create a professional home for investigative journalists.

There’s no way to replace the kind of reporting ProPublica does with AI. That’s not how investigative journalism happens-which they should know better than anyone.

Shame on @propublica.org management. And I say that as a subscriber! Your staff does great work and investigative journalism is something our society needs and machines cannot do. Get a deal done!

I love working at @propublica.org. I'm on strike for the day because I want it to be a better place to work, for everyone. Please support our fight for a fair contract.

Yes! 💯 Hope it's sooner rather too late.

I genuinely believe that the excellent journalists who founded and still manage ProPublica will come around to the Union saving them from AI.

Today, I and the rest of the @propublicaguild.org are on strike. Why? Because we deserve a fair contract - one that locks in just cause, AI protections, and fair wages for all union members.

I genuinely do not understand management's refusal to agree to basic protections, like that they won't replace us with AI. It's baffling. Makes no sense. We're on strike to show management how serious we are about this, and how eager we are to get a contract done!

Good morning! All day today my colleagues and I will be on STRIKE. You can help us send a message! Please do not visit ProPublica's website and tell management to give us a fair contract so we can get back to work: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

Really sad it’s come to this. On my way to join my colleagues at the picket line. We deserve a fair contract!

We’re on strike today! Support our fight for a fair contract by NOT visiting the @propublica.org website or engaging with ProPublica stories today. Tell ProPublica’s management you won’t cross the picket line: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

Summer child care in Boise: The annual parenting equivalent to getting Taylor Swift tickets

At today's hearing, @blumenthal.senate.gov brought up letters we obtained from kids held at the Dilley detention facility: propub.li/4lZbTF1 He also referenced our reporting on how Trump has detained the parents of more than 11,000 children: propub.li/4c2uqg9

NEW: Today, Congressional Democrats are spotlighting a particularly troubling part of Trump's immigration dragnet: the American kids — including some featured in ProPublica's reporting — who have been collateral damage in the deportation campaign.

Important thread from our reporter @micarosenberg.bsky.social ⤵️

Yikes 😳 Wild story, excellent reporting! For another 🦇💩 crazy #Idaho connection, also check out this excellent if terrifying in-depth reporting from 7/2025: www.utahinvestigative.org/who-is-valar...

I love this job. I love ProPublica. I love my editors and my coworkers. And I would love to see us get to the finish line on the best contract possible for staff, so we can get back to focusing ALL of our energy on the work we're here to do.

The Trump administration's demands go against the ethos of "keep your federal hands off Idaho," former Idaho Secretary of State Ben Ysursa said. I teamed up on this story with @jenafifield.bsky.social and @zachdespart.bsky.social who are tracking the DOJ's efforts. www.propublica.org/article/idah...

And here's a story by Avi Asher-Schapiro involving some Idaho characters (the C-suite of a nuclear startup) and a distinctly Idaho setting (the Idaho National Laboratory). For historical context, the INL was the site of the only fatal nuclear disaster in the U.S. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

It's a very Idaho day at ProPublica. First, here's my story about Trump finding the limit of what even a stronghold like Idaho will allow. I read through dozens of cards and letters Idahoans sent to Idaho's secretary of state, thanking him for his decision. www.propublica.org/article/idah...

NEW: In 2024, Trump won Idaho by one of the largest margins in the country. Now, its secretary of state is resisting the administration’s efforts to gather sensitive voter data ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

Super interesting story out of Idaho: As Trump Demands Voter Data, This Fiercely Independent Red State Says No, by @audreydutton.bsky.social @jenafifield.bsky.social

1/ Today, we overwhelmingly voted to authorize a STRIKE as we fight for a fair contract with @propublica.org.

The best thing about The Pitt is that this season's big finale reveal won't be who did a murder, or what is the smoke monster, or will two people hook up. It's whether Dr. Robby will put a damn helmet on his head when he gets on his motorcycle.

Gilligan is beautiful

2/ You can support us by signing our petition + donating to our strike fund. Head to our website for more info on how to support us: propublicaguild.org

You know how it’s a @propublicaguild.org picket because Scabby has a tip line

3/ If you’d like to join our fight, donate to our strike fund – www.gofundme.com/f/support-pr... – and sign our petition calling for a fair contract now: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

1/ ICYMI: We are ready to strike if necessary to win the contract we deserve, complete with job security, guardrails around AI and fair wages. Yesterday, we practiced picketing outside @propublica.org offices.

Folks in Boise, join us Tuesday for a breakfast and press conference with Idaho Gov. Brad Little. The Q&A will be on the record. idahopressclub.org/events/

Glad to see change is coming after @audreydutton.bsky.social's great work on failures of Idaho's coroner system.

Idaho changed the law last year, making it illegal for school nurses or child care businesses to send home unvaccinated kids in the event of an outbreak, unless they show symptoms. Measles is uniquely good at getting around though; a person can spread it for up to 4 days before they show symptoms.

Measles has arrived in the Boise area. Five cases just reported in Canyon County, according to the state's weekly data. public.tableau.com/app/profile/...

If you live in a community that has wastewater testing, you can also check here to see if measles might be circulating. (Wastewater isn't infallible, but neither is case report data. More data points = more information.) data.wastewaterscan.org/tracker/?cha...

Wow. #measles

A thing I never imagined my child saying: "Alexa, play Skrillex."

Got this in my email this morning. If y'all see these videos on social media, please DM or tag me. I'm curious to see what people say.

WATCH: While federal judges decide whether Portland protesters’ behavior constitutes a rebellion, ProPublica set out to examine the degree to which they were inciting unrest and the role that federal officers played.

NEW: We reviewed 700+ videos, hours of footage from ICE protesters and counterprotesters in Portland. In 2 months before Trump said he was sending the National Guard, federal officers fire on, grab, pepper-spray or tear gas people 20 times -- without charging anyone. "Gratuitous," one expert said.
