GOOD NEWS. Clinical teams across the country are forming a five-year, $37 million consortium to research stillbirth, a neglected public health concern. “There’s no question that the ProPublica reporting was intimately tied to this,” one expert said. Specifically, @deldeib.bsky.social's reporting.

📽️ WATCH: Epidemiologist Erin McCanlies spent much of the past 20 years studying how parents’ exposure to toxic chemicals affects the chances that they will have an autistic child.

Children's hospital chaplain Ayman Soliman, whose detention sparked a community uproar and became a test of counterterrorism powers in immigration court, was released from an Ohio jail Friday as DHS abruptly withdrew its case against him. “This is beyond my dreams,” he told ProPublica.

Fluoride in drinking water has widely been heralded as a public health triumph. But this year, with the rise of RFK Jr., legislation has been introduced in *at least 21 states* to roll back provisions related to it. Critical reporting @annaleighclark.bsky.social: www.propublica.org/article/fluo...

I’ve covered street protests for years and never seen this much tear gas used on such a small crowd

NEW: I wrote about how drinking water fluoridation has long been heralded as a public health triumph, but skeptics increasingly hold sway in government. Most notably: RFK, Jr. And customer notice requirements are patchy, so people may not even know about it when their fluoridation stops.

Wrote about Ayman Soliman, a children’s hospital chaplain now in ICE custody after losing his asylum. His story shows the long legacy of post-9/11 laws, and his case is a test of Trump’s ability to merge the sweeping powers of immigration and counterterrorism www.propublica.org/article/ayma...

"This administration is trying to do everything in its power – and beyond its power – to punish me and deport me." A powerful and nuanced profile of Mahmoud Khalil from @oliverlaughland.bsky.social: www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

“I did not fear them whatsoever,” he recalls. “I saw them eye to eye.” The extraordinary bravery of Mahmoud Khalil - who invited me into his new home for a three hour interview. Edited by @noayachot.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

ICYMI: @propublica.org wanted to know how much federal health agencies had been gutted. The administration wouldn’t tell us, so we figured it out our own way. Lots of charts and deep reporting on what this means for you: projects.propublica.org/federal-heal...

NEW: More than ‎20,500 workers have left or been pushed out of federal health agencies, a ProPublica analysis found. Staffers say the cuts will leave their agencies less equipped to conduct studies, perform inspections and combat deadly outbreaks.

NEW: In March, the Trump administration announced a massive purge of workers at the nation's health agencies. We asked them how many workers were laid off, pushed out or left. They refused to give us numbers. So we conducted our own analysis... 🧵 projects.propublica.org/federal-heal...

So pleased that our series ‘Anywhere But Washington’ has won an Edward R. Murrow award for continuing coverage. Our series follows US politics away from the traditional campaign trail & is made with a small but brilliant team @tomsilverstone.bsky.social & Laurence Topham

New from me: After Oregon’s record-breaking fire season in 2020, lawmakers wanted to map out which properties were most at risk. But anger from homeowners escalated quickly. Misinformation got accepted as fact. In this telling, Oregon’s hotter, drier climate isn’t the problem; the map is.

This juxtaposition is striking and so revealing of these times. "We drive to a food pantry a short distance from Trump’s club, where a line of about 20 people are waiting for the doors to open." Such an insightful piece from @oliverlaughland.bsky.social: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

In rural Tennessee, 16 middle schoolers waiting for cheerleading practice to start made a TikTok video seeming to role play a school shooting. The sheriff's office charged every single one with a crime. www.propublica.org/article/soci...

This CEO co-owned a company that pleaded guilty in 2019 to a scheme to hire and conceal undocumented workers. Now he’s profiting off the construction of an immigrant detention camp. Such critical reporting from Avi Asher-Schapiro + @jeffernsthausen.bsky.social: www.propublica.org/article/nath...

"We obtained internal data showing the Trump administration knew that at least 197 of the men had not been convicted of crimes in the U.S.... The truth of all their stories—one by one—will begin to be told." Astonishing reporting from my colleagues: projects.propublica.org/venezuelan-i...

NY bans anonymous child welfare reports thanks, in part, to Eli Hager’s reporting on a Brooklyn mother whose apartment was searched dozens of times — by police and caseworkers who never had a warrant — because an angry former acquaintance kept anonymously calling the hotline about her.

NEW: A federal judge ruled on Monday that the termination of hundreds of grants by the NIH was “void and illegal." "This represents racial discrimination, and discrimination against America’s LGBTQ community,” he said. “I would be blind not to call it out." www.propublica.org/article/trum...

When we reviewed the 1,450+ NIH grants terminated by the Trump administration, we found that: • More than 550 were focused on health disparities or inequities • More than 300 were focused on LGBTQ+ health care Full story 👇

After ruling the NIH grant terminations illegal, Judge Young ended the hearing with an eye-opening speech. “This represents racial discrimination, and discrimination against America’s LGBTQ community. That's what this is. I would be blind not to call it out. My duty is to call it out. And I do so.”
