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...

Bari Weiss is the logical endpoint of corporate media. This is what happens when people who hate journalism are in charge of it. The only way journalism works is when it’s independent from the power it’s supposed to hold to account, which means ownership can’t have anything to do with those in power

One explanation for Bari killing the story is that she did so as a public act of fealty to the administration. But another is that, as an inexperienced journalist, she doesn’t understand that a refusal to go on the record is a kind of comment in and of itself

This is so true. There's a difference between pure recycling of a piece (bad), and building upon and amplifying an issue in the public square.

Ok, so there's definitely more to this story. And if someone wants to leak it to me... I would not be mad. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/n...

Not to toot my own horn, but this story is perpetually relevant. theintercept.com/2025/02/22/t...

We just recorded another really amazing book episode for the @theintercept.com podcast. And I'd love to do more of them. What are people reading and are there any authors you'd like to hear from on the pod?

wow that was stupid but i guess at least he didn’t declare war with venezuela

New @theintercept.com: Georgia was supposed to kill Stacey Humphreys last night. But his execution was abruptly called off by the clemency board after its newest member was exposed as the DA's victim advocate at Humphreys's trial.

Such a thoughtful conversation and necessary conversation!

Rep. Crockett's run is at the intersection of so many interesting conversations about the future of the Democratic Party from the role of race and representation to what it actually means to be progressive/liberal/centrist.

Got yelled at this week for making statements that will supposedly alienate the average white male voter and what I want to emphasize is this: appealing to the average white male voter is not my aim and not my job.

If you haven't been paying attention to what Trump is doing in the Caribbean Sea, please listen to this episode!! As @theintercept.com senior reporter @nickturse.bsky.social argues "Trump has appointed himself, judge, jury and executioner." theintercept.com/2025/12/12/v...

As I'm planning midterms coverage, something I'm really curious about is whether abortion will play a big role this time around. It feels like we're seeing way less coverage of the issue (I'm also guilty of this), and I'm wondering if it's because people care less or if it's something else.

I've been in the trenches of the internet researching for an upcoming podcast episode about artificial intelligence. The chasm between the promises and the reality are so much wider than even I realized.

NEW: I looked into MAGA darling Anduril's latest foreign partner, and its weapons are accused of fueling the ongoing genocide in Sudan. theintercept.com/2025/12/11/a...

The decline of democracy in the US means you can’t visit the US if you commented on the decline of democracy in the US

I'm looking to speak with people who receive their health care through the ACA marketplace and are worried about their premiums rising next year, for a story for @theintercept.com please email me at [email protected]

It’s all transparently bullshit and immune to rationality, but if struggling to stabilize half a burning boat to avoid drowning is “getting back in the fight,” what they’re really saying is there’s nothing the survivors could have done to avoid being killed. And that definitely isn’t the law.

"You can’t discredit community media the way you can discredit CNN," @seth-stern.bsky.social told @blockclubchi.bsky.social. "People know their local reporters. They see them on the street. They rely on them. That makes it harder for the administration to control the narrative."

This headline is such a wild way to frame the complete dismantling of the health science infrastructure for vibes-based reasons.

I’ve sometimes fallen into the trap of thinking that complementing a creative person for their work is less sophisticated or desired than discussion or debate about it but very often the best thing you can say to them is hell yeah and that doesn’t make you dumb it just makes you nice

I'm looking to speak with teachers, principals and other school administrators across the country about the impact of ICE on their students for an @theintercept story. My email is [email protected]

One of the biggest impacts I’ve seen from the unproven idea that people are wrongfully using disability accommodations is that people stop trusting people with disabilities and in fact further restrict, remove, and demonize accommodations for people with disabilities in general

The way Dems keep allowing Republicans to agenda-set on immigration is fascinating.

NEW: You've read a lot about immigrants kidnapped, forcibly detained, and held in ICE facilities -- what about the immigrants *trying* to leave the country? Turns out its wildly difficult for them too. don't miss this from @telliotter.bsky.social:

The people who are trying to destroy universities when it comes to inclusion around race and gender are also opposed to inclusion around disability. This bullshit gives them cover. Once again, legacy media laundering far right complaints because it makes elites feel smug.

The final episode of Collateral Damage, my podcast with The Intercept, is up this morning. It looks at the 1992 raid that killed Donald Scott, an eccentric millionaire who long feared that the government wanted to seize his home and property. He was right. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

ICE is horrific...and also an extension of how policing has always worked, not a radical break from it.

The parallels between the everyone is faking ADHD moral panic, and the kids "are becoming trans to be cool" moral panic are enormous.

Please, please, please link to the lawsuits you're citing. I cannot spend all of my time playing the riddle game with court listener.

This is what frustrates me so much about these articles: Propagating the narrative that large numbers of kids are faking disabilities is just going to result in a world where disabled people are *even more* scrutinized when they ask for accommodations!

Working for @theintercept.com has been such a privilege- help us break more stories.

New from me @theintercept.com: the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’s legacy will always be that of a tool of Israeli occupation and genocide, instrumental in the killings of 1000s of Palestinians and worsening a manufactured famine. Not whatever “success” GHF claims. theintercept.com/2025/11/25/g...

Amazing to learn that Isaac Chotiner can apparently just come for you in your replies. Like suddenly realizing you're swimming in open ocean

I’m still thinking about Bari Weiss saying that Hasan Piker (extremely popular influencer) is less of a measure of where Americans are than Alan Dershowitz (extremely unpopular Epstein associate, his own neighbors won’t sell him a pierogi)

I love a FOIA request as much as the next reporter, but there's nothing quite so satisfying as just asking for information and getting everything you wanted.

Listen to our episode of the Briefing with @katmabu.bsky.social:

Still looking to speak with SNAP recipients! 🚨

my first story @theintercept.com: organizers with @adalahjustice.bsky.social and @genderlib.com announced today that the Human Rights Campaign has ended its relationships with weapons manufacturers Northrop Grumman and Raytheon following years of protests and accusations of "pinkwashing"

I'm looking to speak with SNAP recipients about their reaction to the shutdown deal for @theintercept.com, if you're interested my email is [email protected]

I’m late to it—there are already several episodes—but this is a gripping, infuriating, and much-needed podcast on the human cost of the War on Drugs.

Me writing about how white Christian nationalism is the explanation for literally everything.

"Organizing gets the goods,” says @mauricewfp.bsky.social on The Intercept Briefing.

“If this is supposed to be an intimidation tactic, you really picked the wrong girl,” @katmabu.bsky.social told @theintercept.com

Whenever I'm talking about politics with my husband we have a nuclear weapons don't exist rule so that we don't panic. Seems like it's time to abandon that.
