I want every detail of this drama www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

A WIRED analysis of DHS records identified dozens of specialized federal agents who used force against US civilians during the largest known deployment of its kind in US history. www.wired.com/story/border...

Metadata for the win, no joke. Before becoming a top official at the EPA, Aaron Szabo was a lobbyist for the oil and gas industry. Metadata shows he helped draft a trade group’s 2022 letter to the EPA objecting to controls on methane emissions.

Fun fact: NYTimes has been pretty public about intentionally avoiding the term “Christian nationalism.” I think there are entirely defensible reasons for this, and, also, those reasons are unconvincing to me and it doesn’t surprise me that very few other major outlets have the same posture.

A year later, though, a scenario where no one can get these vaccines doesn’t feel as far-fetched, Kiang said. “Every week that goes by,” he said, “that seems more plausible.” Ah yes, some light reading from my colleagues today 😱

The news has moved on, but ICE is still in Minneapolis. My neighbors are still patrolling streets, driving strangers to work, and providing aid. As a photojournalist at @propublica.org, I wanted to know: What do they look like in their daily lives? So I picked up my camera 👇

Some stuff I thought of to counterbalance the dread is in this thread, though it can't address the low snowpack itself bsky.app/profile/kate...

Is anyone else dreading this summer? Can't stop thinking about the tiny snowpack in western states and what it will mean with the heat and wildfires...

This DailyMail headline says my reporting on Ms. Rachel sparked a “firestorm.” The evidence: The article quotes three anonymous social media comments. 🤔

"According to Flores and Velasquez, one of the deputies took a liking to a family kitten and offered to take it home with him." --> so, the Florida sheriffs who deported the parents liked the family's cat. The family's pastor had to take in their 4-month old baby and 8-year-old daughter.

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.

So...companies are going to support WFH 5 days a week now, right? Cause most people can't control whether they get the flexibility to work from home.

I hope we don't have to strike, but I voted "yes" along with 92% of my colleagues because we deserve what countless other unionized newsrooms have won: a fair disciplinary process; wages that keep up with inflation and reasonable AI guardrails. Here's how you can support our union's efforts: 1/

I love working at @propublica.org and i don't want there to be a strike. But i still voted in favor of authorizing one because the looming risk of an imminent walkout may be the only way to get management to take our demand for a fair contract seriously. Read more 👇

“Black women are the only cohort to have lost jobs since February 2025,” Roy says. The January 2026 jobs report, which covered December, showed that “every other cohort, including Black men, gained jobs.” White men alone have gained 362,000 jobs.

“I’m worried,” Ratner said, “that we’re going back to a time where people die in childhood.” -->terrifying, essential reporting by @sheinvestigates.bsky.social

*whispers dramatically* Sometimes I highlight specific rows in spreadsheets. Sorry, it's just so tempting.

This is 🤯: Oklahoma took on an ambitious project to catalog all of the state’s injection wells, which shoot toxic waste generated by oil drilling back into the ground. Despite records showing risk of drinking water pollution, the state chose not to act. @nickbowlin.bsky.social

"She described being stunned by Mr. Chavez’s aggression, and then numb to it. She framed her silence at the time not as an absence of pain, but as a kind of strategic necessity" awful news, really important reporting

BREAKING: Workers at CBS are walking out. The unionized team that works CBS' streaming service are going on a 24 hour strike in New York and San Francisco. The walkout comes after negotiations with CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss reportedly imploded.

Gonna hold on to this croissant metaphor for the rest of my creative life

Thank you @politico.com for a very nice nod to our investigation of Trump officials and their linkages to the industry they oversee. S/O to the brilliant Al Shaw and @bxroberts.org

I was reading this interview from @annehelen.bsky.social on boys choirs, and the good they can do boys in terms of gender expression. And this is true! But I want to add something: The "magic" of the "boy soprano" has harmed adult femme singers. Walk with me. www.patreon.com/posts/multi-...

“Carrots are now believed to be the culprit.” I’ve never felt more validated. (Carrots are my nemesis). Stay safe…toss those glass/carrot contaminated products 😬

Have a question about government records? By Massachusetts law, these are supposed to be open and accessible. All you have to do is file a request. But it's not as easy as it sounds. Massachusetts, one expert said, “is one of the more secretive states.” So we wrote a song about it. trib.al/EWHNLuW

For those looking for additional data points about what's happening with immigration enforcement in Minnesota and other states, our habeas case tracker has just been updated. TLDR new cases have dropped: projects.propublica.org/habeas-track...

NEW: We obtained 911 audio from the Texas detention center housing hundreds of immigrant kids and their parents. Since mid-September, EMS crews have been dispatched to Dilley at least 11 times to treat children in medical distress. Burning fevers. Low oxygen. Seizures. A broken leg. My report:

NEW: Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils & paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just “cried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims. By @mckenziefunk.com @micarosenberg.bsky.social

Hello! I’m the reporter who has been tracking citizens detained by immigration agents. And last night, I noticed something: A lot of them were at the State of the Union, including a number of whom I’ve written about. Their stories should be known:

"Following a ProPublica article revealing that the U.S. Forest Service had for years issued clothing to wildland firefighters that it knew contained potentially dangerous “forever chemicals,” the agency has stopped distributing those garments. " www.propublica.org/article/pfas...

My daughter checked out Harriet the Spy from the library at my suggestion, but now I'm worried she's going to learn too much

There's a local angle to everything

Alysa Liu's career is basically one giant infomercial for mental health and I am here for it. She came back to the sport on her own terms, said she didn't care about medals in recent interviews and then won gold. www.nbcolympics.com/news/live/20...

So after Trump pardoned Honduras's narco-president, the admin didn't just let him out--they canceled an immigration hold and sent a specialized team to **chauffeur him to the $1k/night Waldorf Astoria.** “It's "absolutely fucking nuts,” said one official www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Shout out to the student journalists that have tirelessly covered their professors' ties to Epstein. My job would be much harder without them. See thread for some of my favorite recent student news pieces. www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty... #AcademicSky #HigherEd

Proud to join my colleagues yesterday to push for a fair contract. We just want the same rights as our peers in other unionized newsrooms. (That's not me in the mouse (rat?) costume, though I wish it was.)

1/ Our members are practicing picketing @propublica.org offices in multiple cities right now to demand job security protections and guardrails around AI. We are ready to do what it takes to get a fair contract.

Why would judges need to know anything about climate science as they’re reviewing cases about climate accountability 👀🙈 By @abrahm.bsky.social: www.propublica.org/article/fede...

Everything I know about stoats, I learned from Redwall. So yes, these stoats could take out the majority of previous Olympic mascots.

Nine-year-old Maria Antonia Guerra, from Colombia, drew a portrait of herself and her mother wearing their detainee ID badges. A note on the side said, “I am not happy, please get me out of here.”

This is 18-mo-old Amalia waving to me when she was detained. She was hospitalized with a respiratory infection while at ICE’s Dilley facility for immigrant families. She’s one of dozens of detainees who I spoke to via video and phone calls, letters and an in-person visit. 🧵1/

Every Winter Olympics I think of Surya Bonaly. I hope she is thriving.

Maria is one of hundreds of children, who — like Liam Ramos — have been held at a Texas detention facility where parents say children languish as they’re served contaminated food, receive little education and struggle to obtain basic medical care. Here's our attempt at telling their stories. 2/

Guess I'm rooting for the Polish figure skaters now... Unless the US team comes up with a better mascot.
