Exciting news: ProPublica's new podcast is about to launch! The incredible team behind PAPER TRAIL has crafted something truly special. And it's true: Investigative journalism *is* an act of optimism. Find out the truth; tell it well; see what's possible. 💫

This was a hard story to report. Newborns who don’t get a vitamin K shot are 81 times more likely to develop a condition where they bleed uncontrollably. But more and more families are declining the shot. And babies are dying. www.propublica.org/article/more...

Yesterday, our members chanted and marched through @propublica.org’s NYC office demanding a fair contract now. We delivered a stack of more than 4,000 petition signatures and 300 comments from our supporters to management.

Huge congratulations to all our current and former members who won or were finalists for Pulitzer Prizes today! All journalists deserve a fair contract that provides the job security necessary to do this work. www.pulitzer.org/prize-winner...

So proud of data reporters @sophiechou.bsky.social and @harucoryne.bsky.social, who are Pulitzer Prize winners today. They made sense of tens of thousands of scanned, hand written forms to uncover how the Connecticut DMV allows tow companies to sell people’s cars www.propublica.org/article/prop...

AMAZING, AMAZING NEWS!! ProPublica and The Connecticut Mirror Win Pulitzer Prize for Local Reporting 🎉🎉🎉

A Pulitzer for Julie K. Brown. Richly deserved, and overdue!

1/ Happy International Workers' Day to all our fellow workers and unions! ✊ ICYMI, our bargaining unit exercised our collective power to walk out on a one-day strike last month, as we fight for a fair contract.

My husband is showing his new documentary "When We Were Live" about public access TV in Austin, Texas at the Atlanta Film Festival on April 26th at 3:15 PM. Come on by if you're in town and want to see a movie about community that's both funny and a tear jerker. atlff26.eventive.org/schedule/69b...

UPDATE: we now have a handy FAQ at the bottom of the page about our downloadable data on habeas petitions filed by immigrant detainees in district courts. projects.propublica.org/habeas-track...

I take no pleasure in saying that I and my @propublicaguild.org colleagues are on strike. It shouldn't have come to this and i can only hope that seeing the overwhelming majority of staff walk out today opens management's eyes and convinces them we're serious about our demands.

I love my job. I believe in ProPublica's mission. I have so much work to do today on a story that should publish soon. But today, I'm on strike with my colleagues at the @propublicaguild.org. Hoping we get over the finish line SOON on our very first contract -- and a fair one.

We’re on strike today! Support our fight for a fair contract by NOT visiting the @propublica.org website or engaging with ProPublica stories today. Tell ProPublica’s management you won’t cross the picket line: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

Local journos, this new feature will help you find all the habeas cases in your state and federal judicial district with one click. Track them over time. Huge public service!

Small but important update to our @propublica.org habeas tracker: By clicking on the little icon in our table, you can download all habeas cases for each state or court district since Jan. 2025, inc. case names, docket number along with Court Listener link. projects.propublica.org/habeas-track...

This was my previous job at The Texas Tribune! Highly recommend applying. If you’re at #NICAR26, feel free to ask me questions about the role and working at the Tribune and/or moving to Texas.

Awesome database published by my @propublica.org colleagues where you can look up financial disclosures of over 1,500 of Trump's appointees. #NICAR26 data nerds will appreciate this one! projects.propublica.org/trump-team-f...

Now officially official: @carla-astudi.bsky.social is @propublica.org's newest News Apps Developer! www.propublica.org/atpropublica...

My first byline for a news app at @propublica.org, and it still manages to be kind of about Texas (as in, guess the top state!).

Welcome aboard, Carla!

Happy to share some professional news: I'm about to finish my first week at @propublica.org as a News App Developer. Humbled to join this team of talented data journalists and coders! www.propublica.org/newsapps

Hey! Some bittersweet news from me: yesterday was my last day at the @texastribune.org after almost six years of doing some of the best journalism of my career.

It's been more than 3 months since the Central Texas floods, and the application window for FEMA aid has closed. So @carla-astudi.bsky.social and I looked at where things stand. We found about one-fifth of FEMA applications from Kerr County have been approved so far.

Just how catastrophic was the scope, scale and intensity of the Central Texas floods? The @texastribune.org team have put together graphics explaining. Visuals by me, Chris Essig and Edison Wu. www.texastribune.org/2025/07/09/h...

NEW: Sec. Noem has now admits "last mile" disaster communications weren't up to par in the Texas catastrophe. But while bodies were still being recovered on Tuesday DHS canceled a $3 million grant focused on improving precisely those kinds of "last mile" comms. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/dhs-c...

With the House bill now passed, I wanted to re-up two important stories: The bill benefits the rich, and inflicts deepest harm on the poorest Americans, data show www.nytimes.com/2025/07/01/b... The deep federal aid cuts will not arrive immediately. A timeline: www.nytimes.com/2025/07/02/u...

NEW: Kristi Noem secretly took a cut of political donations and then failed to disclose it www.propublica.org/article/kris... w/ @josh-kaplan.bsky.social @amierjeski.bsky.social

Now that the 2025 #txlege is over, are you wondering how your legislators voted on key bills? I got ya covered! I built a nifty little lookup tool to help you do just that for the @texastribune.org Link: www.texastribune.org/2025/06/13/t...

Desalination can create millions of gallons of fresh water a day. Texas lawmakers are betting on this solution to solve the state’s water crisis. But it is expensive and there are environmental concerns. For @texastribune.org graphics: @carla-astudi.bsky.social www.texastribune.org/2025/04/11/e...

At #NICAR25 the CFPB’s Chief Technologist @erie.bsky.social says the agency is still here and can only be ended by an act of Congress, despite her team being recently fired. The DOGE team has “god mode” access to all CFPB complaint data. “It's a 5 alarm fire for me that they have this data.”

Tip for @ire-nicar.bsky.social #nicar25 newcomers: Go to any session by Paul Overberg. It's always a master class. He began his hands-on workshop on CDC deaths data with an overview of record-keeping in the American colonies before the Declaration of Independence.

How we did it: Texas Won’t Study How Its Abortion Ban Impacts Women, So We Did

Texas banned abortion. Then sepsis rates soared. www.propublica.org/article/texa...

🧵 THREAD: In the second Trump administration, we’re devoting a significant part of our staff to detailing dramatic changes in the role of the federal government in the lives of Americans. Here are some of the issues we’re watching — and how you can inform our work.

New: @propublica.org is tracking who's in Musk's DOGE crew. 20+ names so far including some that haven't yet been reported.

Texas school district warns Border Patrol may board buses and question students about citizenship www.texastribune.org/2025/02/05/a...

Texas colleges would be required to submit compliance reports and they don’t fix a violation within 180 days, they would be ineligible for future funding increases. via @jessicapriest.bsky.social @snehadey.bsky.social

this piece also never truly makes the case as to why the Star-Ledger was great in its heyday other than high circulation and staffing numbers + namedropping some reporters. Why were they so great? What stories did they publish? Why waste half the article ranting about how much the SL sucks now?

They went out to buy baby formula and were pulled over for a traffic stop. The man in the process of getting a green card is now facing deportation. He has no criminal record. His wife is an American citizen and they have 3 kids. via @serranoalej.bsky.social www.texastribune.org/2025/01/29/t...

One overlooked part of RFK Jr’s bid to be HHS secretary — what would he do with the agency’s *Human* services? RFK Jr derided Trump’s first immigration policy as cruel. But as a presidential candidate, he embraced some of Trump’s border ideas. And if confirmed, RFK Jr could help implement them.

a word of caution: there are a ton of reports flying around right now about which programs have been immediately cut off from federal funding because of trump's freeze. much of it seems unconfirmed at this point, so be discerning in what you share.

please for the love of all that is true on earth, do not share the list compiled via chatgpt of all discretionary programs as if it is what the administration is actually covering. the poster is not a journalist and has not fact-checked her work.

Some thought Texas AG Ken Paxton might be a candidate for Trump’s new attorney general. He didn’t get the job. But there’s a significant way Paxton could benefit from the new administration & his longtime ally. My latest for @propublica.org & @texastribune.org www.propublica.org/article/trum...

In addition, we have a BRAND NEW feature where you can search for your address and find out who is your Texas representative and how they voted for. Hopefully, we will be using a similar feature for important Texas Legislature votes in the future.

Lawmakers have voted for the next Texas House speaker (in only two rounds) and we have a total vote breakdown of the final tally as well as a searchable list of how each lawmaker voted. www.texastribune.org/2025/01/14/t...

Also s/o to our photo team for showing the random gaps in the border walls were people could just... walk around...

The 3D map visuals in this @texastribune.org Texas border wall investigation are dope! s/o to our talented data visuals developer Yuriko Schumacher (who is not on Bsky) apps.texastribune.org/features/202...
