In great company here for my final year as a “young” journalist 😬😬

A huge loss.

HUGE NEWS at @propublica.org: Peter Finn Joins ProPublica, Spearheading Washington Bureau Expansion

Look at these charts. TransUnion and Experian, two of the three major credit bureaus, have started dismissing a larger share of consumer complaints without help. The timing coincides with the Trump administration’s dismantling of the CFPB. www.propublica.org/article/cred... @joeljacobs.bsky.social

Hire Hannah !

Soft-launched a new Nonorofit Explorer feature just in time for #nicar26!

Religion reporters: @andreasuozzo.com also noted a brand new feature she built in @propublica.org's 990 explorer that shows which nonprofits are not required to submit tax filings because of their designation as a church. So, that's handy!

In 2021, Hannah Goetz’s pharmacy began filling her tacrolimus prescription with a generic made by Accord. What she didn’t know: An FDA-commissioned study concluded months earlier that Accord’s generic was not equivalent to the brand drug. (Published Dec. 2025)

The Upshot is hiring a data graphics/multimedia editor. Come work with us and make weird things that help people understand the world! job-boards.greenhouse.io/thenewyorkti...

Since last year, I and Al Shaw & @bxroberts.org have investigated the linkages between Trump appointees and the industries they oversee. Today we published a searchable database containing approximately 3,200 financial disclosure forms of roughly 1500 officials. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Hello Bluesky! We're the Washington Post data team. We dig through government records, social media, campaign finance reports, weather maps, and any other data we can dig up, download, FOIA or create. Then, we share what we find with you. We've worked on a lot in the past year. A few highlights 🧵

THREAD: We just released a tool that allows you to search billions of dollars in wealth, ties to the most powerful companies in the country, and details of the personal finances of President Trump and over 1,500 of his appointees. Here’s how it works 1/

NEW: Over the past year, we've been collecting thousands of financial disclosure documents from across the Trump administration. Now we're making them searchable. Look up names, assets, former employers across 1,500+ Trump appointees and 3,000+ ethics documents.

Attention visual journalists: I’m always open to pitches for @sciam.bsky.social’s Graphic Science column. The column tells concise stories on topics in science via graphics (dataviz, illustrated diagrams, comic-style explainers, etc). It appears in both print & online. DM me for a pitch guide.

News: I was cut yesterday in a newsroom-wide layoff affecting 300+ staff at The Washington Post. I spent the last decade leading and building the award-winning Graphics team. I'll miss them. I'm now exploring senior graphics, cartography, or leadership roles. Intros welcome. timmeko.com

Amid the hundreds of colleagues we’ve lost today, I wanted to highlight the BRILLIANT data/graphics folks who any newsroom should be fighting to hire right now—threading here:
