When she learned her daughter had died, she thought, “If they would have listened to me earlier, I would have delivered a living baby. But if you’re a Black woman, you get dismissed” Read why Black women are more than twice as likely to have a stillbirth propublica.org/article/stillb…
“They are making a mockery of the allocation system,” said Dr. Sumit Mohan, a kidney specialist and researcher at Columbia University. “It’s shocking. And it’s going to destroy trust in the system.” Important story from @brianmrosenthal @cocteau @blueshirt
The American organ transplant system was built to be fair. But increasingly, officials are ignoring the rules and skipping over the patients most in need. Our investigation, with @cocteau and @blueshirt: nytimes.com/interactive/20…
NEW: My colleagues at @propublica made a film about the U.S.'s stillbirth crisis -- jumping off from reporting by @deldeib -- that's every bit as moving and powerful as you'd expect from a ProPublica project. Please sign up to arrange a screening. propublica.org/getinvolved/be…
1/ We got gov. data showing that the Trump administration knew the majority of Venezuelan men it sent to a prison in El Salvador had no criminal record in U.S. - and that only a handful had been convicted of violent crimes - before calling them all terrorists and deporting them.
When ProPublica’s reporter David Armstrong got cancer and the drug that keeps it at bay cost $1k a pill (but cost 25 cents to make), he went to work to find out why…what he found will make your blood boil…Why Is Cancer Drug Revlimid So Expensive? propublica.org/article/revlim…

Tonight! ProPublica’s feature doc “Before a Breath” is streaming on YouTube at 8 p.m. EST. The film tells the story of three mothers striving to make pregnancy safer after losing children to stillbirth. Reporter/Producer @deldeib and I will be in the live chat.
New: More than 20,000 stillbirths occur in the U.S. each year, but 1 in 4 may be preventable. “Before a Breath” sheds light on three mothers fighting to change those statistics. propub.li/4iEzR5D
NEW: This is a thread about a political influence project you’ve never heard of. It involves the man second in line for the presidency and an evangelical pastor who’s quietly forged close relationships with some of the most powerful men in the country.
Incredible reporting here from @CoreyGJohnson, who exposes the hypocrisy inherent in some opposition to authorities compiling data to police bad actors while some in the gun industry use it for their own ends.
New: Documents obtained by ProPublica detail the sophistication and intrusiveness of Cambridge's work for the gun industry in 2016. The firm's campaign aimed to help elect Donald Trump and keep industry-friendly politicians in the Senate. propub.li/3Xgd8Vm
By the time 15-yr-old Jázmin Pellegrini was found dead in an SF driveway last April, Chronicle reporters Cynthia Dizikes and Joaquin Palomino had spent months investigating for-profit psychiatric hospitals. They soon found her story epitomized the crisis inside these facilities.

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.
They tackled complex issues with life-or-death stakes, and still, they were fired as part of President Donald Trump’s widespread purge of federal workers. Suddenly, the future of their public health missions was in question. W/@AnnieWaldman propublica.org/article/trump-…
A few weeks ago, I was talking to a community health worker in Central Wisconsin who works w/ immigrant families, and was startled to hear her say they were packing up all their belongings in enormous boxes and sending them to Nicaragua - ahead of their own deportations.
The Department of Labor found widespread noncompliance and violations in how health plans and insurers cover mental health care, echoing the findings of our recent ProPublica reporting. w/ @deldeib @mayatmiller @MaxBlau propublica.org/article/depart…
“The rebranding of shaken baby syndrome preserved the diagnosis and allowed it to live on with less scrutiny,” says Randy Papetti. “Shaken baby syndrome is alive and well but mostly operates under an alias.” Read the whole story by the extraordinay @pamelacolloff
NEW, from me: Shaken baby syndrome--a diagnosis that has resulted in wrongful convictions across the country--continues to shape criminal prosecutions and child welfare investigations, under the name "abusive head trauma." What happened to one family: propublica.org/article/shaken…
The FDA Hasn’t Inspected This Drug Factory After 7 Recalls For The Same Flaw, 1 Potentially Deadly. Please share this important @propublica investigation by @SheInvestigates @debbiecenziper @MegMcCloskey propublica.org/article/glenma…
NEW: Hospitals are giving patients medication during child labor, then calling child welfare authorities — even the police — over positive drug tests caused by those same exact meds. My latest @MarshallProj: themarshallproject.org/2024/12/11/pre…
There’s a story I heard back in April that I kept thinking about as we saw the exit poll data on the Latino vote. I was listening to two undocumented Mexican woman in a Wisconsin trailer park talk about the Nicaraguan asylum seekers who’d moved into town. One mentioned a purse.
