Would you take a medicine made at a factory that was so bad the FDA banned it from shipping drugs here? You might have already. @propublica uncovered how for years the FDA has quietly let these risky drugs into hospitals and medicine cabinets propublica.org/article/fda-dr…

Fascinating read in @NYTOpinion today. Hope this essay will soon be a book. nytimes.com/2023/05/05/opi…

I wonder if lawmakers read the footnotes of @US_FDA's reports about drugs, because that's the only time the agency told Congress about how it was letting banned foreign factories send risky drugs to the US. propublica.org/article/fda-dr…

The Justice Department's chief information officer in the immigration review division — a disabled veteran — just resigned. His letter to colleagues is worth a read.

Read our original investigation that detailed how Liberty officials discouraged & dismissed women who tried to come forward with accounts of sexual assault. Women recalled being threatened with punishment for breaking the university’s strict moral code. propublica.org/article/the-li…

One doctor called it “challenging conventional wisdom.” Another said it was “innovation.” What would you call it if a doctor ditched the standard of care when treating your child’s face? (And didn’t tell you about it.) My latest for @ProPublica propublica.org/article/utah-c…

These videos of children climbing through and under stalled trains will fill you with dread, and the story that follows, about the railroad's disregard for this community, will fill you with outrage. @propublica @graytelevision @InvestigateTV propublica.org/article/trains…

For decades, Justice Clarence Thomas has secretly accepted luxury trips from a major Republican donor, newly obtained documents and interviews show. The extent and frequency of these apparent gifts to Thomas has no known precedent in modern SCOTUS history... 🧵👇

Proposed legislation would remove protections surrounding school #librarians who allow students to check out books found to be obscene and would, instead, expose them to a misdemeanor of a “high and aggravated nature.” #bookbans governing.com/now/georgia-mi…

John Steinbeck is trending so now's as good a time as any to talk about Sanora Babb... 1/11

I wrote about 2 kids who have barricaded themselves in a bedroom for the last month to defy family court orders forcing them back into the custody of their father, despite DCFS findings that the father sexually abused them 🧵 propublica.org/article/parent…

1/ This @ProPublica investigation has it all: Money laundering allegations, Mennonite & evangelical Christians, Obamacare, CPAC, a family “conglomerate” that includes a pot farm, a private airline & a bank in the Ozarks. Strap in as we magically whisk you away to… Canton, Ohio.

A 2016 law says military court records must be transparent. But new Pentagon rules grant access only *after* a trial. Plus they exclude: ▪️ transcripts/recordings ▪️ exhibits ▪️ preliminary hearing docs So much for open records. @MegMcCloskey @propublica propublica.org/article/navy-r…

After a 6-year-old shot his teacher in Va. last week, the police chief called it "unprecedented." But in this country, almost no form of gun violence is unique. Since '99, at least 11 school shootings have been committed by kids no older than 10. (thread) washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/…

BREAKING: In a split decision, SC Supreme Court justices ruled that privacy rights in the state constitution extend to a woman’s right to an abortion. postandcourier.com/politics/sc-su…

You know by now about the chaotic police response to the #Uvalde school shooting. Our new @propublica/@TexasTribune/@washingtonpost investigation shows for the first time how this dysfunction & delay dimmed the chances of survival for some victims. propublica.org/article/uvalde…

New investigation from me: A 5 month long investigation with @NPR @davidfolkenflik & @marioarizabaez for @FloodlightNews tracked how 2 major power companies infiltrated news sites in order to manipulate positive coverage and in some cases-- oust adversarial political foes 🧵
