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...

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.

🚨... and we've got JOBS.🚨 We're hiring a senior producer and producers for this as-yet unnamed podcast. Come help me invent this thing! job-boards.greenhouse.io/propublica

It was my very great honor and privilege to work on Dan Taberski's 9/12 podcast some years ago, if you haven't heard it, today is a good day to start listening: www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIJT...

Good morning friends, I've got some ✨ news ✨ www.propublica.org/atpropublica...

"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....

Sigh. www.startribune.com/minnesota-st...

Dorian Johnson, the man who was walking with 18-year-old Michael Brown before a Ferguson police officer shot and killed him in 2014, has himself been gunned down: www.stlpr.org/law-order/20...

I just read a story dek that said "A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things" which reads like an epitaph or a really depressing newspaper slogan

Look all I want to do is move into this geodesic dome and for everyone to stop bothering me about literally anything, is that so much to ask (I don't know why living in a dome = dropping out of society but it just does, don't at me) racketmn.com/wanna-buy-an...

MN House Republicans release their policy proposals following the Annunciation school shooting. None include gun control. One proposal is to repeal the state ban on conversion therapy for minors.

Let's get clickbait out of local news. We are a group of Idaho and Washington journalists, and our publishing company, McClatchy, wants the ability to punish us for not meeting arbitrary story quotas. THREAD

I would like to meet the person who was about to violently disagree with another person about something, and then was completely soothed by that person saying to "take it with a grain of salt"

"The agency said fulfilling the request would take 'several hours'" <-- 👀👀👀 www.propublica.org/article/alas...

It sounds like this shooting, at a South Minneapolis church, happened during a Wednesday morning mass attended by children. We've had too many terrible, violent, breaking news events here this summer: www.startribune.com/minneapolis-...

Fall coming in like

I try to share links to our stories with the most striking passage or quote, but this piece has far too many to do that. It's also hard to say what speaks louder: the photos or photographer Adriana Loureiro Fernández's words. Beautiful. Haunting. Make the time: www.propublica.org/article/ceco...

"The money is not aimed at PBS and NPR, well-funded national organizations that will survive without government support. Instead, the Knight Foundation and others are focused on the scores of public radio and TV stations... rural areas, like remote regions of Alaska" www.nytimes.com/2025/08/19/b...

We want a fair and equitable process with robust just cause. We deserve no less than our peers in other unionized newsrooms. Lunching out with my colleagues, my face is hidden behind an elbow 😂

I’m joining my @propublicaguild.org colleagues in a lunch-out to demand a fair process for performance reviews and discipline at @propublica.org. We can’t do our best work in a culture of fear. [Pictured: Murphy at my desk, NOT me because I'm out to lunch!]

👏 Journalism 👏 still 👏 makes 👏 change 👏 : "Trump-appointed Attorney General Pam Bondi touted the agreement with Greystar last week, saying 'nowhere is competition more important than in making housing affordable again.'" www.propublica.org/article/grey...

We took our lunch outside today to demand: ✅ Just Cause that covers everyone ✅ A fair, transparent discipline process ✅ No loopholes for @propublica.org management We’re united for a contract that protects us all.

Members in Chicago, Seattle, Berkeley and across the country are lunching out to show support for Just Cause protections that apply to every ProPublica Guild worker, every time.

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

At @spotlightpa.org, the first thing we agreed to with management was just cause. It’s a no brainer for newsrooms that trust their workers. What’s the problem, ProPublica?

We can’t produce fearless journalism @ProPublica without knowing our jobs are secure. That’s why I walked out for lunch today — to show support for Just Cause protections that apply to every @ProPublicaGuild worker, every time.

We’re holding a lunch-out today to demand that @propublica management agree to a fair discipline and performance evaluation system. Just today, a member of our Bargaining Committee and Unit Council was fired as a result of ProPublica's flawed system.

ProPubli-paws love Just Cause 🐾
