THREAD: The FDA has made it difficult to find where medications are made. Today we're changing that with our latest tool. With Rx Inspector, it’s possible to see your drug’s manufacturing facility and what the FDA found during its inspections. Here's how you can use it. 1/

Amidst the Trump administration's attacks on "illegal" DEI, @propublica.org has found more than 1,000 nonprofits that revised the mission statements on their tax forms to remove terms like "racism" and "marginalized." Half who made changes reported no govt funding. www.propublica.org/article/dele...

1/ At bargaining yesterday, @propublica.org management said that they should have 100% discretion to replace workers with AI and would not commit to labeling future AI-generated content.

Charities are rewriting their mission statements to remove or minimize language tied to race, inequity and historically disadvantaged communities. Great nonprofit data reporting from @emsimani.bsky.social, gorgeous design by @zisiga.bsky.social www.propublica.org/article/dele...

a wild story that encapsulates how tech executives view AI. Anthropic's Deputy CISO made his Discord server a ghost town by forcing an AI chatbot onto it despite community protests

1/ After two years of bargaining, @propublica.org management has resisted our proposals to bring transparency and accountability to our disciplinary process. You can support our union by sharing this post and signing our petition for a fair contract! actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

Celebrity chefs told Californians that PFAS-coated pans were “safe,” and successfully lobbied Gavin Newsom to veto a bill phasing them out They didn’t mention they all sell PFAS-coated pans. New joint investigation with @mirandagreen.bsky.social and @atmosmag.bsky.social is out:

Mended a hole in my jeans, but my phone thinks it's a bug.

It's simple — @propublica.org workers should not be replaced by artificial intelligence. Our contract proposal specifically says that generative artificial intelligence ("GAI") should not be used to replace employees. Management struck out this entire section in their response to our proposal.

With so many nonprofits making a year-end push for donations, it helps to do some research before deciding where to give. @propublica.org's Nonprofit Explorer tool has details on millions of orgs (including ProPublica) with helpful info like executive compensation, revenue, and expenses.

ICE detained a 7-year-old Winooski student and his mother while they were traveling over the holiday weekend:

This is seismic news. It's hard to overstate how big the implications are for both future prosecutions and wrongful convictions. This NJ decision could reshape how courts across the country treat shaken-baby expert testimony. news.bloomberglaw.com/litigation/n...

👀👀👀 "Emails from UCLA’s fundraising department, obtained by FOIAball, show the school is steering money to the charity, with explicit notes that it be earmarked for football NIL."

ProPublica has found multiple cases of women with underlying health conditions who died when they couldn’t access abortions. Tierra Walker, a 37-year-old mother, was told by doctors there was no emergency before preeclampsia killed her.

NEW: In 2024, Tierra Walker was sick and getting sicker. She was also pregnant. She knew abortion was illegal in Texas, but thought there was an exception for women like her, whose health was at risk. Doctors told her there was no emergency. Then she died. www.propublica.org/article/texa...

NEW: Egg producers suspect bird flu is traveling through the air. The USDA didn’t test the theory after a disastrous Midwestern outbreak. Here’s how we did. By @natlash.bsky.social

After a bird flu outbreak tore through Midwestern barns, killing hens and spiking egg prices, the USDA didn’t investigate whether the virus was airborne. @propublica.org did. www.propublica.org/article/bird...

This bird flu investigation is well worth your time. I got a little peek behind the curtain into the data analysis and it's truly impressive work from @natlash.bsky.social www.propublica.org/article/bird...

Tracking the spread of bird flu using genetic markers, satellite imagery, property records, and more reminds me of John Snow’s Cholera investigation/map. Howe’s Hens is the modern day Broad Street Pump. Amazing work from @natlash.bsky.social & @chrisalcantara.com. www.propublica.org/article/meth...

You probably saw videos of a nighttime raid in Chicago. Agents rappelling from a helicopter, bursting down doors, questioning brown-skinned immigrants. We investigated -- and found little evidence to support the government’s claims about Tren de Aragua. www.propublica.org/article/chic...

A beloved colleague who was terminated last year through management's vague and inconsistent disciplinary process regularly brought apple cake to the office on his birthday. As we did last year, we are marking his absence and calling for job security protections with apple cake in our NYC office.

In the spring, Trump cut $500 million from aid to food banks. But they had already ordered 94 million pounds of food from the program — all abruptly canceled. People at food banks noticed. The cuts meant less meat and lighter pickups. We visualized it: projects.propublica.org/trump-food-c...

1/ I’m Till Eckert, a ProPublica reporter. For the past 2 weeks, I’ve been going to the same NY immigration courthouse. Nearly every time, I see ICE agents arresting immigrants. Today, a woman was slammed to the ground after begging officials not to take her husband away. Thread 👇

We ❤️ @ire.org! @propublica.org employees wore buttons & flyered at the IRE gala to rally support for our fight for a fair contract. The future of investigative journalism depends on protecting the workers who make it possible. You can help by signing our petition: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

Matt's Weather Rapport: NOAA confirmed that August in #Vermont was the driest on record, along with two other states. The drought continues and rivers are now at record low levels. Lots of details here: matttsweatherrapport.blogspot.com/2025/09/conf...

We can’t produce fearless investigative journalism without job security and a fair contract. After almost two years of bargaining, we need your help. Show your support for @propublica.org workers by adding your name to our petition: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

There aren't very many books that I'd grab from a Little Free Library more than a mile from the end of a run, but it turns out this is one. Absolute flashback to middle-school me combing the YA shelves at every library branch near my house for more John Bellairs books.

NEW: More than ‎20,500 workers have left or been pushed out of federal health agencies, a ProPublica analysis found. Staffers say the cuts will leave their agencies less equipped to conduct studies, perform inspections and combat deadly outbreaks.

"Just a week after Scott arrived in Vermont, while in the middle of a mental health crisis, he was shot and killed by a state trooper inside the apartment he and his mother had just moved into. They hadn’t even finished unpacking all the boxes."

ProPubli-paws love Just Cause 🐾

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

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.

Building *slows* gentrification; and *not* building makes it much worse: "The findings suggest that not allowing more homes to be built—even for high-income residents—pushes up all rents, making it harder for low-income tenants to remain in their neighborhoods." -- www.pew.org/en/research-...

Citizens, crying kids, pregnant women, people who aren't the target...it doesn't seem to matter who's inside the car when immigration officers want to make an arrest. They smash the window anyway @mckenziefunk.com & I tracked these arrests all over the U.S. projects.propublica.org/trump-ice-sm...

Me: I will make this small Nonprofit Explorer change. It will be an easy win for the day! Narrator: It was not, in fact, an easy win for the day.

"We obtained internal data showing the Trump administration knew that at least 197 of the men had not been convicted of crimes in the U.S.... The truth of all their stories—one by one—will begin to be told." Astonishing reporting from my colleagues: projects.propublica.org/venezuelan-i...
