What in the world: "The stunning courtroom disclosure — cinematic in its intensity — came in a hearing ostensibly to hear Comey’s motion to dismiss the case... it was overshadowed by the revelation that there may have been no indictment at all." talkingpointsmemo.com/news/due-to-...

"The stories Lizza and Nuzzi tell give you the extremely wrong idea of what it means to be a journalist. We, despite what every Hollywood property from 'House of Cards' to 'The West Wing' would have you believe, do not date our sources... We’re not rich, guys." www.washingtonpost.com/style/2025/1...

I hate that I can't Google a word and quickly find out the definition because there are 500 tech startups who've chosen that word as their stupid name

An absolute powerhouse of a @propublica.org team has done what U.S. officials refuse to do: identify the men and women swept up in that midnight raid in Chicago. Life in the building was not perfect, but reporters found little evidence to back up government claims: www.propublica.org/article/chic...

I'm not sure that even I, a transparency nut, could flawlessly follow this policy: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/u...

Zow. www.semafor.com/article/10/2...

Titles for books I’ll probably never write: “Darkened Midwest Kitchens”

Often I receive an email and even though I want to respond immediately, I wait for a while so that I don't seem "too eager." I am infected with malignant Midwesterness please halp

Although this story focuses on the education system in Oklahoma, my brilliant colleague @jsmithrichards.bsky.social makes it plain that this is a vision for education, a blueprint really, for the entire country: www.propublica.org/article/trum...

The Trump administration continues to claim that this story — in which @nicolefoy.bsky.social found that 170 U.S. citizens have been detained by immigration authorities — is fake, lies, etc. without ever saying what we got wrong. It's easy to throw insults, it is NOT easy to do this reporting:

Let me help you with that, Speaker Johnson. This is what we documented. www.propublica.org/article/immi...

Child abuse pediatrics is a subject of particular interest to me, so I'm VERY excited for this three-episode podcast series from Serial: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/16/p...

So the president of the United States plans to meet with Putin in Hungary, and when a reporter asked where that plan came from, this was the reply of the United States government www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

"The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So @propublica.org did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer." www.propublica.org/article/immi...

We are so grateful to everyone who signed our petition (1,300 OF YOU!) asking our management to agree to a fair contract with basic job protections for us! THANK YOU!!! We keep doing fearless journalism because you make us fearless 😍

Don't even know where to start sharing the most recent stories on ProPublica.org — if you're not waking up and checking every morning, you're missing out. Let's start here: due to an "extraordinary number of violations" the penalty is going to be... reduced? www.propublica.org/article/elon...

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day? Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

Well, today @deldeib.bsky.social has a very helpful explainer. Here's what an external review is, how it works, and how you can use it to help to get coverage of your own medical care: "Appeal, appeal, appeal, appeal... That’s all you have." www.propublica.org/article/heal...

There's been a huge response to my brilliant colleague @deldeib.bsky.social's most recent story about a doctor and a couple who stood up to an insurance company denial of mental health treatment. But people also asked, "Wait, what is this external review process?" www.propublica.org/article/ment...

I don't understand or like LinkedIn. I just got a message, allegedly from the editor in chief of a student newspaper, that said, "Hello my name of ◼️◼️◼️◼️. You don't hi?" No, I don't hi.

A lot of attention has been paid to overseas aid cut by the Trump administration, but this brilliant piece of visual data journalism illustrates the devastating cuts to food banks here at home: 94 million pounds of food that were never delivered projects.propublica.org/trump-food-c...

What am I supposed to do with old business cards? I am an immigrant's kid, I catastrophize everything and I think business cards felt like some kind of talisman against ruin: I have a JOB. Now I'm middle aged, no one uses business cards anymore, and I can't keep schlepping them from city to city.

Some additional behind-the-scenes info on how the text messages were vetted. Thrilling to watch national news orgs following Andy Mannix's reporting in the @startribune.com — and a reminder to support your local newspaper!!! www.startribune.com/editors-note...

You ever have days where it's like: I have always been on the phone. I was born on the phone. I will die on the phone. I have never not been on the phone.

Wild scoop from the Minnesota Star Tribune, which includes a high-ranking Homeland Security official calling Kash Patel a “giant douche canoe” www.startribune.com/trump-offici...

"A former Chicago police officer...has admitted he lied under oath dozens of times... Over more than a decade, he repeatedly blamed an ex-girlfriend for stealing his car and racking up the tickets — and each time, the story was bogus." But wait, that's not all: www.propublica.org/article/chic...

Will you send our petition for a fair contract to your 5 closest friends? actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

They should let the StudBudz livestream the shutdown from Congress.

"ProPublica’s mission is impact. I don’t think any of us expected we’d help bring it about with my video. The question now is what will the government do the next time something like this happens." www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

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...

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-...

"Some efforts, like his letter to the Hazelwood School District, amounted to little more than a press release. Others ended in defeat, with judges calling his arguments unpersuasive or 'absurd' or, in one case, dismissing them without comment." www.propublica.org/article/andr...

Cool. 😎

It's a journalist's job to ask questions of government officials, no matter which party is in power. That often means respectfully knocking on doors to get answers people deserve to know. Tips and evidence are essential to our nonpartisan work: www.propublica.org/tips/

Federal judge tosses Trump's lawsuit against the @nytimes.com, less than four days after it was filed. The ruling calls the lawsuit "improper and impermissible." Trump is allowed to refile a new, shorter complaint if he wants.

I owe my entire career to alt-weeklies, there's so much to revive here: www.coyotemedia.org/what-we-talk...

"When a person is gravely ill, they’re often forced to fight 2 battles, one against their sickness and the other against the insurance company." A spouse and a 3rd-party reviewer take on an insurance company's denials in this gripping story by @deldeib.bsky.social www.propublica.org/article/ment...

Ope, this guy is scheduled to perform in Minneapolis tonight 😬 www.vulture.com/article/d4vd....
