Exclusive: The US Department of Health and Human Services plans to overhaul childhood vaccine schedule to recommend fewer shots, source says. https://cnn.it/4qhzOR2

This devastating piece destroys the lie that no one died as the result of this administration's cuts to USAID. In South Sudan countless people died from cholera after US cut off money, as @annamaria.bsky.social and Brett Murphy report www.propublica.org/article/usai...

In Utah, solar power accounts for two-thirds of the new projects waiting to connect to the state’s power grid. State Republicans’ hard turn against the energy source mirrors Trump’s hostile approach to the industry. By @anjeanette-damon.bsky.social

The Trump EPA has nearly doubled the amount of formaldehyde considered safe to inhale compared with a Biden-era assessment, which had already significantly underestimated the dangers of the chemical, a ProPublica investigation found. By @fastlerner.bsky.social

Hey folks 👋 I'm the reporter who revealed immigration agents detained 170+ citizens this year My fellowship w/ProPublica has been incredible, but it wraps January. I'm looking for my next gig. Please reach out to share leads & opportunities! [email protected] www.propublica.org/people/nicol...

The magnitude of the change over time is striking. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

RISKY BUZZWORDS: Indian Health Service officials have flagged the words, “immunizations” and “vaccines” for additional scrutiny, requiring approval from public information officers for them to be used in social media posts, pamphlets and presentations for patients. @maryhudetz.bsky.social

Major measles outbreaks have repeatedly cropped up in the Southwest this year. Yet at IHS hospitals in the region, agency officials deemed “measles” and “immunizations” a "medium risk" in internal agency emails. Staffers, including doctors, now need to get approval to use them in public messaging

I'm seeing a whole lot less outrage for the journalists of color who have been systematically discarded at places like NBC and CBS (and across journalism, really) than the response to Jimmy Kimmel's 5-day suspension.

NEW: For years, the Phoenix nonprofit Keys to Change has run a mail room for thousands of homeless people. Now the U.S. Postal Service is cutting its $24,000 investment, leaving the organization to raise the extra money to keep it open.

This seems really bad and should be getting more attention nationally. Hundreds airlifted from storm-battered Western Alaska villages in historic evacuation, by @adn.com

“The storm killed at least one person in the village of Kwigillingok with a few people still missing after it brought feet of storm surge to small and vulnerable communities on Alaska’s west coast.”

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...

The federal government’s reported plans to link pregnant people’s use of acetaminophen — the pain-relief drug sold under the brand name Tylenol — as a cause of autism could worsen their health and stigmatize one of the few treatments pregnant people have for reducing pain and fever, doctors warn.

I love working at ProPublica. I would love it more if it could guarantee us just cause protections. Go union.

NV public health officials are investigating how two women became critically ill after receiving injections at a Las Vegas longevity conference promising pathways to an "unlimited lifespan." The doctor who ran the booth isn't licensed in Nevada. My story: www.propublica.org/article/pept...

The immensity of this reporting cannot be overstated. @propublica.org made an archive of reported, fact-checked info on each of the individuals sent to prison in El Salvador. Trump admin knew that only *six* had been convicted of violent offenses.

NEW: The Trump administration said their research did not "enhance health, lengthen life, or reduce illness." Thousands of scientists disagreed. We heard from +150 researchers impacted by the NIH grant terminations on what is being lost in the cuts. 🧵👇 projects.propublica.org/nih-cuts-res...

Today on @nprfreshair.bsky.social: Our @davidarmstrongx.bsky.social discusses “The Price of Remission,” where he investigates why a single pill of the cancer treatment he takes costs roughly the same as a new iPhone. 🎧 Listen below.

You may have seen various headlines/tweets this weekend implying that 50K noncitizens are registered to vote in Arizona, and that counties are starting to remove them. That is incorrect. "The story is wrong," Maricopa County Recorder's Office says... 🧵

Remarkable resignation letter from the Justice Department's chief information officer in the immigration review division — a disabled veteran. Obtained by @propublica.org's Brett Murphy:

Leonard Peltier has had his sentence commuted and will be released from prison to home confinement

Let me tell you a story – one of the more haunting I’ve seen in 20 years of journalism. It’s about greed, death and denial. It took two years to unravel one doctor’s myth, a hospital’s complicity in creating it, and a documented trail of suspicious deaths…🧵

Introducing myself here! I write about the South for @propublica.org often about race, gender & the welfare of children. Investigative narratives are my 1st love. Here is my latest in our series about segregation academies with the great @mrsimon22.bsky.social www.propublica.org/article/segr...

A 13-year-old with autism and an intellectual disability told a teacher his backpack would blow up, worried someone would confiscate his favorite stuffed bunny. Police arrested him and charged him with a felony. www.propublica.org/article/tenn...
