A forest of red flags: "Ashley Brouillette told a reporter that she wanted to speak publicly because she had previously reported concerns to his superiors in the military about his mental health. She said he was abusive in their relationship." www.pressherald.com/2026/07/16/i...

"TRANSPARENCY TAKES A VILLAGE" 👏👏👏

ICYMI: The FBI has explored using AI to assess the validity of signatures on tens of thousands of mail-in ballot envelopes seized from Fulton County, Ga., the latest in the Trump administration’s unprecedented reinvestigation of the 2020 vote. @jeremykohler.bsky.social @dougbockclark.bsky.social

People blamed Alice Sebold after it came out that the man she identified as her rapist was actually innocent. But what this shows is that the Syracuse police and the university primed the ground for such a tragedy to occur. Laid out point by point here: www.propublica.org/article/sebo...

This thread is a really helpful reminder that seemingly unrelated foodborne illness outbreaks may be... less unrelated than you think

It is hard to overstate how proud I am to know @deldeib.bsky.social, whose journalism consistently brings the health of pregnant people and newborn babies to the fore AND makes real change: www.propublica.org/article/vita...

Download this week's episode of Paper Trail if you want to hear: 1. A wild investigation at the nexus of espionage and corporate accountability from cybersecurity reporter @reneedudley.bsky.social 2.

Guess I'm turning this into a thread called "Stuff No One Explained to You About Your Health Because You're a Woman and Not a Person": www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

"'What if I hadn’t reported my rape?' [Alice Sebold] said. 'None of this would have happened.'" <--- In a story full of chilling details, this is perhaps the worst one www.propublica.org/article/alic...

THE ACKROOMS

Coming off of a late night Mexico loss and slamming straight into Monday morning is a helluva mental car crash

I got shingles after my first story at ProPublica published! And this bums me out: "Why isn’t the vaccine available for younger people? The fact that it impacts women more might be part of the explanation." www.thecut.com/article/mill....

Sometimes it's like... we deserve this www.404media.co/scammers-sel...

if I ever get my shit together it's over for you bitches. you, seriously, are one new filing system, productivity app, a decluttering assistant, a good vacation and three clear months from it being over for you, bitches.

Check out me and all my cutie colleagues talking about what we need to close our very first union contract! It's been THREE YEARS and I know everybody at ProPublica wants this finished — check us out, help us amplify our message and let's GET THIS DEAL DONE! www.propublicaguild.org/updates/vide...

"Florida has executed nine men this year, more than all other states combined... Death watch, once a lonely way station, has begun to resemble an assembly line." NEW work from the inimitable @pamelacolloff.bsky.social www.propublica.org/article/flor...

🚨RED ALERT PEOPLE,🚨 @propublica.org is hiring a new team of reporters for our brand new California bureau: job-boards.greenhouse.io/propublica/j...

This was a really fun conversation!

A fair contract would be the cat's meow 🐈. FAIR CONTRACT NOW!

After Oklahoma passed a remarkable new law, a group of women in prison called the "Survivor Sisters" thought their exodus was imminent. @pamelacolloff.bsky.social went to watch this all unfold... and found something way more complicated, she told us on Paper Trail: www.propublica.org/podcast/okla...

I'm so lucky to work with the brilliant @jlussenhop.bsky.social and @propublica.org's crackerjack audio team. Please listen to this episode about April Wilkens, who was handed a life sentence for murder after she fought back against her abuser.

New @propublica.org podcast episode just dropped! Should People Who Killed Their Abusers Walk Free? A conversation with @pamelacolloff.bsky.social 🎉

As ProPublica’s IT support specialist Penny Serrano puts it: “We're just simply asking for a contract that reflects those values — and not just in words but also in wages.” Help us ensure fair pay for all our workers: www.propublicaguild.org

When I was a much younger reporter, I wanted to be Pam Colloff when I grew up. Never could have guessed that someday, I'd get the chance to ask her every question I could think of about her latest story on a group of incarcerated women called the "survivor sisters" www.propublica.org/podcast/okla...

“It’s really important for ProPublica that we have reporters who aren’t just parachuting in … but who actually live in the communities,” says reporter Jennifer Smith Richards. “The problem is that … we’re not paid the same.” Help ProPublica’s workers fight for fair pay: www.propublicaguild.org

It takes serious guts to be this vulnerable, and I hope in exchange for her honesty, my friend Rocio and ALL our friends and colleagues at ProPublica can get the fair contract we need, especially when it comes to wages:

Jessica Lussenhop (@jlussenhop.bsky.social)'s love for discussing investigative journalism and ProPublica's misson-driven work has made her job as host of the org's podcast PAPER TRAIL one that brings her genuine excitement — and she hopes one that inspires others to engage in the world around them.

When I first got to ProPublica, I was asked explicitly if I was OK no longer working in audio (I'd just finished This American Life's fellowship). I decided that I was ready to give up audio for investigative journalism. Improbably, I now get to do both! depthperception.longlead.com/p/propublica...

2022: I met Abdinoor Igal. He was underwater on a home he bought, he said, with a deceptive contract. He would later lose it and live in his truck. 2026: Abdinoor got to tell his story to a jury. I am always stunned when journalism leads to real-world outcomes: www.propublica.org/article/minn...

Management says they won’t replace us with AI. But “we’re gonna need that in writing,” says reporter and ProPublica podcast host Jessica Lussenhop. Here’s how you can support our fight:

The use of A.I. is one of a handful of issues we're still bargaining over. Here's how we, the workers of ProPublica, feel about it and the values we hope our contract will reflect:

We are "celebrating" three years of bargaining with no contract at ProPublica. You'll be hearing from my absolutely phenomenal coworkers about why and we hope you'll follow along as we continue to fight for a fair contract:

Is there any lower life form than a person rolling a rolly bag through New York City and I say that as someone currently rolling a rolly bag through New York City

Here's the thing about going to therapy before work: now I gotta go to work

I think there was a massive book-promotion-crossover missed opportunity for Lena Dunham and Kari Ferrell to interview one another about being the most hated, mistreated young women on the internet in the 2000s. I don't know who this skeet is for, I just can't stop thinking about it

On this episode, @davidarmstrongx.bsky.social used a word that neither of us was sure would make it into the final edit. But we kept it! On this podcast, we talk about complex stuff but we talk like real people. And real people use 4-letter words — especially when they're talking about cancer.

I don't know that I believe in the concept of closure, and there's a lot more still to come in this case, but this is an important day for Minnesotans: www.startribune.com/vance-boelte...

David is a GOAT health care reporter and was kind enough to share his personal journey as well as some jaw-dropping reporting on the new episode of "Paper Trail":

🎧New episode is kinda special.🎧 It begins after healthcare reporter David Armstrong received a devastating cancer diagnosis... followed by a truly shocking letter from his insurance company that showed one of his drugs, Revlimid, costs almost $1,000 per PILL. He needed to know, how does that happen?

Something worth mentioning since we're in the middle of our summer fundraising drive — this podcast, like everything on @propublica.org's site — is free! Currently we're running what we call "house ads" that help explain our nonprofit model — not ads to make $$$. For the public, not for profit.

🏁TOMORROW🏁 we're dropping a brand new episode of Paper Trail and here's where you can subscribe so it drops right into your feed first thing in the morning: www.propublica.org/series/paper...

It's VERY important to me that everyone knows that there is a lofi study beats remix of Bad Bunny songs 😈🐰 h/t @kbmorales.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=528o...

The subject of sexual harassment in housing — any kind of demand for sex from a landlord, super, housing agency employee in exchange for a safe place to sleep — is a pet concern of mine. Tough to read about a man let off the hook for this repeatedly for 30 years: www.syracuse.com/opinion/2026...

This was my first investigation at @propublica.org. No idea how the trial will shake out but just goes to show that these stories sometimes take on a life of their own: www.propublica.org/article/how-...

Three years ago, @sahanjournal.bsky.social reporter Joey Peters and I went looking for families who'd purchased homes using a contract for deed in MN. Almost no one would go on the record out of embarrassment or fear. That reporting has led up to a trial this week: sahanjournal.com/news/chad-ba...

I love journalism like this — a story about a thing we all take for granted, like school buses or trash collection or towing services, that kind of explodes my complacent understanding of how normal or how safe or fair it really is: www.propublica.org/article/bost...

One of the most devastating voices in this piece is the mother of a 15yo girl who disclosed that her father sexually abused her for years. The girl's mother said the OALC didn't help... yet she remains a member. Why? “Because I want to go to heaven.” www.propublica.org/article/old-...
