As federal authorities sweep homeless encampments in D.C. , I want to resurface the reporting we @propublica.org did last year on the possessions people lose, which include the things they need to survive: projects.propublica.org/homeless-enc...

Hot off the @propublica.org presses: We're publishing bios of all 238 of the Venezuelan men who Trump sent to CECOT in an interactive database: projects.propublica.org/venezuelan-i...

Super relevant:

Was wonderful connecting with so many reporters (and editors!) from local newsrooms at #IRE25 @ire.org in New Orleans! Looking forward to reading your project proposals in the coming weeks. And remember, we’re here to help you fine tune your proposals. Email us at [email protected]

ICYMI, Latest w/@davebiscobing15.bsky.social‬: Arizona's largest county frequently pursues the death penalty. It rarely secures that sentence: www.propublica.org/article/mari...

My latest: DOJ abandons effort to address Phoenix's treatment of homeless people www.propublica.org/article/phoe...

Today, we issued a letter — signed by 70% of our unit — to @sengelberg.bsky.social and @robinsparkman.bsky.social asking them to uphold ProPublica’s values of fairness, transparency and accountability at the bargaining table.

THREAD: Last year, ProPublica started receiving tips from an unusual kind of source: flight attendants. They said they'd worked on deportation flights for ICE, and they could tell us what it was really like on board. 1/

One of the last ICE workplace raids in 2020? A Bollinger shipyard in Louisiana, which has major Coast Guard & Navy contracts. Company execs donate heavily to Speaker Mike Johnson & Majority Leader Steve Scalise Will Trump deport immigrants building America's ships? My latest for @propublica.org

ICYMI: Last week @megomatz.bsky.social and I reported on how the tribal lending industry has survived and thrived offering exorbitant online loans to millions of borrowers — with APRs that can exceed 600%. www.propublica.org/article/trib... We’ve been investigating this opaque industry for months:🧵

Yesteday we brought you the story of how insurers have relied on doctors, some of whom “shut their eyes” to medical opinions that opposed their conclusions. Today, @mayatmiller.bsky.social and I tell you the story of how insurers cite progress as a reason to deny www.propublica.org/article/ment...

NEW, from me: Shaken baby syndrome--a diagnosis that has resulted in wrongful convictions across the country--continues to shape criminal prosecutions and child welfare investigations, under the name "abusive head trauma." My story of what happened to one family. www.propublica.org/article/shak...

“We wanted to help ProPublica’s readers recognize the humanity of the people we had met and talked to, so we gave them notecards and asked them to describe their experiences with sweeps.”

ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.” We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words. This is what they wrote.

Unhoused people told us they already feel like they’re seen as problems to be solved, not people to be helped. In reporting on the issue, we wanted to help ProPublica’s readers recognize the humanity of the people we had met and talked to. By @nicolesantacruz.bsky.social

Taking some time to reflect on my year and feeling particularly grateful for the many people who helped me stay afloat (shout out to our babysitter). Trying to parent AND be good at your job is hard (and we don’t talk about it enough)!

New from me: Changing Laws and Changing Lives: Why ProPublica Is Dedicated to Local Investigations

NEW: After reviewing leaked documents, we have found UnitedHealth is strategically limiting access to a treatment for thousands of children with autism across the country in order to cut costs. Advocates say the company’s strategy may be illegal. www.propublica.org/article/unit... 👇

🚨🚨🚨REPORTER JOBS ALERT!🚨🚨🚨 We have not one but TWO jobs open, one in our South bureau and another in the Southwest bureau. Both fascinating regions that desperately need more investigative journalists: boards.greenhouse.io/propublica/j...

This is what we mean by investigative journalism in the public interest. (thread) 👇

Right now you’re likely breathing in a tiny bit of formaldehyde, which can cause breathing problems and cancer more than any other chemical in the air. For the past year, the EPA has been working to regulate its use. Here's why that's proven to be tough 🧵

In June, a woman named Stephenie reached out to @propublica.org. An outreach worker told her we were reporting on cities conducting sweeps of homeless encampments, and she had a story to tell. 🧵

Can people whose belongings were taken in "sweeps" of homeless encampments recover them? Some cities have storage programs, but as one advocate says, they offer only an “illusion of compassion.” Here's what we found ➡️ www.propublica.org/article/home...

Rick Taylor considers himself a part-time coroner, even if his annual pay is $95,928 and the county payroll lists him as full-time. Asked about his handling of Onyxx's case, he said he “did basically what I call a ‘paperwork autopsy.’” National standards called for an actual autopsy and other steps.
