PEN America Condemns “Horrific” Killing of Activist Charlie Kirk While Speaking on a Utah Campus pen.org/press-releas...

The murder of Charlie Kirk is a horrific act that has left two children fatherless. You don't have to like his politics to understand that political violence is a race to the bottom, that it makes life worse for all of us, that it is what undoes democracies and societies.

He wanted to die. His wife fought for him. A psychiatrist was their last hope. www.propublica.org/article/ment...

New: Trump Is Accusing Foes With Multiple Mortgages of Fraud. Records Show 3 of His Cabinet Members Have Them. www.propublica.org/article/trum... w/ @robert-faturechi.bsky.social @amierjeski.bsky.social

He wanted the same thing as the Trump administration, which was for a peaceful end to the Afghan war. Instead ⁦‪Elon Musk’s‬⁩ and DODGE’s carelessness left his life in tatters and put his family in grave danger. / @propublica.org

NEW from @alejacorazonhm.bsky.social and me: As Trump seeks to flood DC’s streets with federal agents and troops, churches are seeing attendance drops, fear, and detentions. Seven members of one church have been detained — including an usher on his way to worship. religionnews.com/2025/08/19/a...

Photographer Adriana Loureiro Fernández spent months following the story of the Venezuelan men deported to prison in El Salvador by the Trump administration. She shares that experience today on @propublica.org www.propublica.org/article/ceco...

We reported in July that Trump was poised to slash regs protecting the public and the environment during rocket launches by companies like SpaceX. Yesterday, Trump signed an executive order making it happen. Here’s our story. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Four Al Jazeera staff, including reporter Anas Al Sharif, were killed in an Israeli attack on a tent for journalists outside the main gate of Gaza's al-Shifa hospital aje.io/onll19

That’s us in Chicago! We want Just Cause protections in our union contract. We deserve fairness and transparency across the board. Love our union. Support our work. Follow us ⬇️

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 😂

We want a fair and equitable process with robust just cause. We deserve no less than our peers in other unionized newsrooms. I’m not in NY but still lunching out in support.

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

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.

I joined the lunch-out with my union today to ask @propublica.org to agree to a contract with robust Just Cause protections. We want to bring accountability to our workplace, not just our journalism. I support protections for my colleagues that make our investigative reporting possible.

For months we've written about the Venezuelans the #Trump administration sent to #CECOT. Now, they get to tell their own stories, how the U.S. ended up labeling them terrorists and their torture in #ElSalvador via @propublica @texastribune.org @cazadoresdefakenews.info & Alianza Rebelde Investiga.

Our colleagues at ProPublica, together with a talented team of video journalists in Venezuela, put together a powerful video of the nightmare three men and their families went through after Trump call them gang members and sent them to a foreign prison. www.propublica.org/article/vene...

After 4 months of a near-total Israeli siege, Gaza’s hospitals now have wards for the malnourished children whose tiny bodies are just the width of their bones. Aid groups had warned of this for more than a year. Now a worst case scenario is upon us. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

You may have seen reports about the release of Venezuelans the Trump administration sent to a Salvadoran prison and called "the worst of the worst." But when we set out to learn more about them, that's not what we found. 🧵

NEW: On March 15, President Donald Trump’s administration sent more than 230 Venezuelan immigrants to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador. Last week, the men were released as suddenly as they’d been taken away. These are their stories.

ProPublica obtained data showing the Trump admin. knew at least 197 of the men hadn't been convicted of crimes in the US and only 6 had been convicted of violent offenses. Nearly half had ongoing immigration cases that should have protected from deportation. projects.propublica.org/venezuelan-i...

The EPA just withdrew a complaint against a major Trump donor -- GEO Group, which runs ICE detention facilities. The company was spraying a disinfectant without proper protection onto beds and into *microwaves*; detainees reported skin rashes + difficulty breathing www.propublica.org/article/epa-...

Hooray! The new encrypted tips form Ive been working on with @phiffer.org is now live! Very, very proud and delighted with this effort. www.propublica.org/tips/#submit

NEW: The Trump administration is using the claim that immigrants have “invaded” the country to justify possibly suspending habeas corpus, part of the constitutional right to due process. A faction of the far right has been building this case for years. By @mtredden.bsky.social

I hope management hears our members and reconsiders this anti-union position.

Our “America’s Mental Barrier” series, which examines how insurance companies interfere with access to necessary mental health care across the United States, was also named a finalist in the explanatory reporting category: www.propublica.org/series/ameri... Via @pulitzerprizes.bsky.social

Our DOGE tracker is updated with a whole slew of new names, and now you can filter by agency to see which of the DOGErs have been where. Great work by @williamturton.bsky.social, @chrisbing.bsky.social, @kirstenberg.bsky.social and others! projects.propublica.org/elon-musk-do...

After our story on Deployed Resources was finished -- in a major development -- ICE posted an up to $3.8 billion to the company to operate a migrant detention camp on Fort Bliss. The first move in plans to detain thousands of migrants on military bases www.propublica.org/article/trum...

My latest with @hannahallam.bsky.social

People will live shorter, worse lives because of what Trump, Musk, and RFK are doing. wapo.st/4cnYNMX

There's so much going on right now that it's hard to know where to focus, but please take a moment to read this @mikehalltexas.bsky.social story about an 18-year-old Venezuelan who was in Texas legally who ICE seized, and who is now in a Salvadoran megaprison. www.texasmonthly.com/news-politic...

"The report alleged that instead of the case shaping the show, the show shaped the case." This @jlussenhop.bsky.social reporting is wild and sad, and the whole story is very worth reading.

THREAD: Last year, ProPublica started receiving tips from an unusual kind of source: flight attendants. They said they'd worked on deportation flights for ICE, and they could tell us what it was really like on board. 1/

Pleased to relay that @propublica.org now offers SecureDrop— in addition to our Signal tip line and postal mail—as a way to reach our reporters with information: www.propublica.org/tips/

Today, RFK Jr. announced that the Department of Human and Health Services would cut 10,000 employees. If you have been impacted by the layoffs, our reporters want to hear from you. You can reach out to us on Signal at 917-512-0201 or by going to propublica.org/tips.

Have you: • Filed a complaint with the CFPB in the past year? • Had problems with a company whose case the CFPB dismissed or stopped investigating? • Been in touch with the CFPB regarding investigations or resolutions in the past year? Let us know 👇

In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

NEW: While all eyes are on Trump and DOGE, a bill recently introduced in both the House and Senate would cripple the EPA's ability to regulate. It's a very serious threat and experts told me it could pass www.propublica.org/article/legi...

"The fact that the superintendent of a small district could pull in a big-time salary shocked experts and previewed larger transparency and accountability challenges that could follow as Texas moves to approve a voucher-like program that would allow the use of public funds for private schools."

Incredible public service. @propublica.org has catalogued the DOGE crew and their links to Elon. projects.propublica.org/elon-musk-do...

Our full tracker of the DOGE folks, with new additions, is here: projects.propublica.org/elon-musk-do... A @propublica.org team effort: @chrisbing.bsky.social, @shaw.al, Avi Asher-Schapiro, @justinelliott.bsky.social, @andykroll.bsky.social, @kirstenberg.bsky.social + more

New DOGE names: The accounts of DOGE focused on young Silicon Valley engineers are incomplete. It also includes attorneys with elite establishment credentials -- at least two former SCOTUS clerks and a third who will clerk for Gorsuch next term www.propublica.org/article/elon...

It's hard to keep track of all the changes since the inauguration. Perla Trevizo and I and I took a closer look at the immigration policies embedded in Trump's Day One executive orders. Most of them revive things he previously tried. Some are unprecedented. www.propublica.org/article/dona...
