Mike Collins is running for Senate on a promise to make roads safer — by taking commercial driver’s licenses away from noncitizens. Our analysis shows his business has a higher rate of unsafe driving and speeding violations per mile than the majority of trucking companies with substantial mileage.

👋Hi! I’m Jessica Lussenhop, and for the last 4 years, I served as ProPublica’s first Minnesota-based reporter. But now I’ve got big news: On May 14, ProPublica is launching a brand new podcast! It’s called “Paper Trail,” and I’ll be your host. Thread 🧵

Our members are on the picket line today demanding a fair contract now! We want a fair disciplinary process, layoff protections & guardrails on artificial intelligence. Support us by donating to our strike fund: www.gofundme.com/f/support-pr...

Our DC members are out in full force! Today we’re striking to demand a fair contract, including layoff protections, AI guardrails, fair pay and a clear disciplinary process. Join us: www.gofundme.com/f/support-pr...

“We're fighting for fair pay because people deserve to be able to afford to stay in the jobs that they love. We're fighting for protections around AI because this work is done by humans. We love this place. We believe in this work, and we are not backing down.” — Katie Campbell, video journalist

“We're not asking for the moon here, despite what management keeps trying to tell us. We need a fair and transparent disciplinary system that we can trust so that we can keep speaking truth to power, whether in the Oval Office or inside our newsroom.” — Jeff Ernsthausen, senior data reporter

My colleagues and I are on strike today. Please don't visit @propublica.org's website today — as we push for a fair contract.

We’re on strike today! Support our fight for a fair contract by NOT visiting the @propublica.org website or engaging with ProPublica stories today. Tell ProPublica’s management you won’t cross the picket line: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

Today, we wrote to @propublica.org’s board of directors to inform them that our unit overwhelmingly voted to authorize a strike and urge them to instruct management to agree to a fair contract now. Read our letter here: www.propublicaguild.org/updates/to-t...

1/ Today, we overwhelmingly voted to authorize a STRIKE as we fight for a fair contract with @propublica.org.

Yesterday, 92% of us voted YES (w/ 99% participation) to authorize a strike if @propublica.org management refuses to compromise on core issues. We need a fair contract that will protect the in-depth investigative reporting that our readers expect. Support us: www.gofundme.com/f/support-pr...

EmblemHealth, one of New York's largest health insurers, has agreed to pay a $2.5 million settlement for failing to fix errors in its provider directory. You can read more about the settlement over at @propublica.org: www.propublica.org/article/embl...

We’re ready to strike! Our members are walking out of @propublica.org’s offices today to practice picketing and show we are serious about winning a fair contract. Support us by signing our petition: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

NEW: Experts say there aren’t enough state and federal inspectors to adequately vet whether labor contractors who oversee farmworkers are following the rules. Nor is there broad political support to invest more resources to protect foreign workers.

The dramatic rise of farm labor contractors has led to rampant abuses. For the latest story in my @propublica.org series on the H-2A visa program, I've looked into some of the reasons why regulators have failed to stop foreign farmworkers from getting harmed: www.propublica.org/article/h-2a...

A lawsuit filed by a group of New York City employees against their health insurer cites ProPublica's reporting on ghost networks, where health plans list providers who supposedly accept that insurance but who are not actually available to patients. By @maxblau.bsky.social

NEW: A teacher called over a dozen therapists to find mental health care following a miscarriage. An EMT spent months looking for one after a suicide attempt. They couldn’t find any in-network provider able to see them. Now they're suing their insurer.

A new lawsuit alleges that an insurer’s ghost network hindered New York City employees from accessing the mental health care they sought — and harmed the reputation of psychiatrists wrongly listed as being in-network. My latest for @propublica.org: www.propublica.org/article/embl...

Farmers have long relied on third-party contractors to source and manage farmworkers. But all that outsourcing makes it hard for growers to know how workers are being treated — and makes it easy to ignore when they’re treated badly. By @maxblau.bsky.social

NEW: Experts say the Fair Food Program has helped improve conditions for farmworkers who are vulnerable to abuse and exploitation. But farms and produce buyers across the country have resisted joining. By @maxblau.bsky.social

I spoke with @thesundaylongread.bsky.social for their podcast, which was recorded live in front of the MFA students of @ugagrady.bsky.social. We chatted about how I reported on ghost networks for @propublica.org's "America's Mental Barrier" series. Listen here: sundaylongread.com/2025/09/26/p...

Sofi left behind her child in Mexico for the promise of providing him a better life by coming to the U.S. on a farmworker visa. She ended up in a trap. “Not all of us get to be smiled upon by the United States,” she said. By @maxblau.bsky.social

Kudos to UGA MFA alum @maxblau.bsky.social for reporting a terrific story and thanks to @thesundaylongread.bsky.social for featuring him and our program on its podcast. Take a listen! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

Does your food come from a system of modern day slavery here in the US? I'm guest-hosting for Mary Harris today on What Next, @slate.com's daily news pod. ProPublica's @maxblau.bsky.social joined to share his reporting on H-2A visas for seasonal farmworkers, who will be more vulnerable under Trump.

In 2021, Javier Sanchez Mendoza Jr. pleaded guilty to conspiracy to engage in forced labor as part of a federal investigation that exposed widespread abuses of H-2A workers across Georgia. This is the story of what one of those workers endured. By @maxblau.bsky.social

"She was sold the American dream with a farmworker visa. She ended up in a nightmare." — @maxblau.bsky.social & Zaydee Sanchez @propublica.org

A big thanks to @wbur.org for chatting with me about @propublica.org's investigative series into harms happening within America's H-2A program. You can listen here: www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2...

NEW: The H-2A visa program has failed to protect migrant farmworkers from wage theft, forced labor, violence and death. Here’s what experts, lawyers and advocates think would make the program safer. By @maxblau.bsky.social

Over the past few years, I’ve been fascinated with one of the largest federal investigations happening in Georgia, known as Operation Blooming Onion. So I partnered with Zaydee Sanchez to uncover the untold story of an unnamed victim at the heart of the case. 🧵

The mother of Ravi Coutinho, the subject of a recent ProPublica investigation, is suing Centene for publishing “misleading” information that gave her son a false impression about the kinds of mental health care that were actually available. By @maxblau.bsky.social‬

Ravi Coutinho died after being unable to find mental health treatment. Following @propublica.org's investigation, his mother is now suing his health insurer, saying it broke the law by publishing false information that misled its customers. My latest story: www.propublica.org/article/cent...

NEW: Of the 238 men deported to the prison in El Salvador, DHS data shows: • 130 had no U.S. criminal histories aside from immigration violations; • 32 had been convicted of crimes in the U.S.; • 6 of those were violent crimes.

1/ The day after the Antioch High shooting, Nashville police arrested a 12-year-old for posting a concerning screenshot on Instagram. His school was supposed to figure out if it was a valid threat. Instead, the school expelled him with no further investigation.
