A series by @sfchronicle.com @meganmunce.bsky.social @susien.bsky.social @brontewittpenn.bsky.social uncovered how systemic use of a flawed estimator tool leaves homeowners drastically underinsured. It won a Gold prize in the 2025 Barlett & Steele Awards. 🔗 businessjournalism.org/2025/11/burn...

It was an honor having @davidarmstrongx.bsky.social, Maurice Tamman, @meganmunce.bsky.social, @susien.bsky.social, A. J. Lagoe, David Leffler, Susan White, Salina Arredondo, Savanna Strott, and Alexa York join us for the awards ceremony last week! 🎉 Read more: businessjournalism.org/2025/11/2025...

BREAKING: We won! Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years. pghguild.com/2025/11/10/p...

“They have fun while doing it, which is deeply disturbing. We expect some level of decorum from government officials,” says Phoebe, a member of Harbor Area Peace Patrols. The full story: lataco.com/federal-immi... By Aisha Wallace-Palomares

New from me: Elite law firms, multiple media outlets, the D.C. attorney general, and a group of parents accused a teacher of molesting 15 kids. They were wrong. This piece is two-and-a-half years in the making. And as you'll see, it took some incredible turns, even as I was reporting it.

An OpenAI executive said GPT-5 found solutions to 10 "previously unsolved" math problems when in reality all it did was find online references to places where people had already solved them techcrunch.com/2025/10/19/o...

the Muppets have been real quiet since the Louvre heist

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:

The lawsuit accuses State Farm and its subsidiaries of violating the law by refusing to turn over data about insurance premiums and non-renewal rates in every ZIP code in the U.S.

Assembly Bill 1388 prohibits agencies like police and sheriff’s departments from issuing so-called clean-record agreements and requires that all previous deals be publicly disclosed.

The entire incident is infuriating and terrifying. She’s a Latina woman who was working a service job. On her way home late at night, with her headphones in, she was detained for an hour by masked federal agents who wouldn’t give her their names.

Several news organizations, including The Washington Post, The New York Times, Newsmax and NPR, have announced that their journalists will not sign a new set of Pentagon restrictions affecting news gathering in the massive military complex.

Why is Alameda Co. Sheriff still spending taxpayer money to send people to be trained in the junk science of computer voice stress analysis? Were there no spots left in the phrenology or visual hair comparison classes? @susien.bsky.social @mgafni.bsky.social www.sfchronicle.com/california/a...

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

A San Francisco native is among hundreds of activists being detained at an Israeli prison after that country’s navy intercepted a flotilla of boats bound for Gaza with supplies and humanitarian aid.

Congrats to my former student @susien.bsky.social for investigating how a flawed estimation tool leads to victims of California wildfires being under-insured businessjournalism.org/2025/09/2025...

An ICE agent threw a mom to the ground. You know how she can file a complaint with DHS? SHE CAN'T. Trump closed that office. www.propublica.org/article/home...

Across China, tens of thousands of people tagged as troublemakers are trapped in a digital cage by the world’s largest digital surveillance apparatus. Most of this technology came from Silicon Valley companies that have long claimed to support freedom. apnews.com/article/chin... via @apnews.com

This is EXTRAORDINARY impact, driven by the Pulitzer Prize-finalist journalism of @deldeib.bsky.social. At a time when so much is being dismantled, it is incredible to see something like this launching to improve health outcomes for moms and babies: www.propublica.org/article/nih-...

CW: protester being struck in the head by a pepper ball Footage I took earlier of the moment Reverend David Black, a regular protester outside of the Broadview Detention Center, was shot in the head with a pepper ball by ICE agents on the roof of the facility.

Disease prevalence in US states before & after vaccine introduction 🧪 From Edward Tufte & graphics.wsj.com/infectious-d...

I’ve studied US drone strikes, I wrote a book called “Drones and Terrorism,” and this Caribbean strike is different. Lethal fire at a non-threatening target in a non-hostile environment on purpose when other means, such as capture, were easily doable, and without even attempting a legal rationale.

NEW FOIA Files SCOOP: The FBI redacted Trump’s name—and the names of other prominent public figures—from the Epstein files under two privacy exemptions before DOJ & FBI concluded “no further disclosure” of the files “would be appropriate or warranted.” www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

“As of right now, we've raised $313,523 toward our $376,000 goal. That leaves $62,477 - and this was just 12 hours, 6am to 6pm.”

NEW: Nearly 3 minutes were cut from DOJ-labeled “raw” Epstein footage. WIRED previously reported the video was 2 edited clips stitched together. Analysis now shows the first was 2:53 longer. It’s unclear if this actually includes AG Bondi’s 1-minute "system reset." by @dmehro.bsky.social

This week, @texasmonthly.bsky.social’s reporting on the floods in Kerr County has been so purposeful and so deeply empathetic. It was personal. This first person account is so, so horrific and so beautifully written. You’ll cry very hard. (CW: Child death.) www.texasmonthly.com/news-politic...

The UFW can confirm farm workers were critically injured yesterday during chaotic raids in Ventura County, CA. Other workers, including US citizens, remain unaccounted for. UFW staff is on the ground supporting impacted families. Our full statement below. ⬇️ 1/

I’m out here in Camarillo, CA, with @acatwithnews.bsky.social, where hundreds of demonstrators have gathered to protests today’s raids. As we walk up, you can hear hundreds chanting. Lots of press here as well

A New report maps a “severe” shortage of local journalists in the U.S.: www.niemanlab.org/2025/07/new-... I looked at the details for @niemanlab.org The report "finds that more than 1,000 counties — one out of three in the nation — do not have the equivalent of even one full-time local journalist."

Follow @thecity.nyc. We relentlessly investigate people in power & when we have the goods on them, whatever their political position, we hit publish. What we don't do: Publish crap.

We are going to see a lot of ppl claiming, understandably, that the BBB has now provided Trump w a massive ICE army. That is incorrect. It has provided him with the funds to TRY. A 2017 DHS-OIG report said ICE would need to interview 500,000 ppl to get 10,000 new hires. Not easy!
