It was such a pleasure and dream come true to work on this story for one of my favorite publications, @ConsumerReports. I wrote about CR’s evaluation of remittance apps, the services millions of people rely on every month to send money to family abroad.

I spoke with consumer and immigrant advocates, privacy experts, and everyday users about what’s at stake including hidden fees, confusing exchange rates, privacy risks, and the very real needs of families who depend on these services.
I also really appreciate CR publishing a Spanish version of the story:

"I'M PISSED!!!": The good people of Iowa, some in MAGA hats, are not buying Chuck Grassley's nonsensical talking points about deporting migrants to El Salvador.

NEW: @Documentedny reports that one of the Venezuelans deported to El Salvador is a 19-year-old with with no criminal record and no tattoos who wasn't even the target of an ICE operation — but ended up sent there anyway. An ICE agent even said "He's not the one" when arrested!

The GMG Union is thrilled to be negotiating its next contract.
G/O Media CEO Jim Spanfeller waited until 2 days before the current contract expires to meet, but we couldn't be more committed to winning a fair deal for our members.
We did it last time and we'll do it again.

New from 404 Media: Employees working at DOGE have been ordered to stop using Slack while lawyers attempt to transition the agency to one that is not subject to the Freedom of Information Act. Means DOGE will be even more secretive and unaccountable 404media.co/doge-employees-o…

1/ Here’s a story about how journalism works.
Spoiler Alert: This is how we decide *not* to publish.
We were recently looking at Pete Hegesth’s different statements over the years about West Point, where he has said he was admitted.
First stop: West Point.

Silvia Pinal has died. One of the brightest most versatile stars in the history of Mexican cinema. Her work with Luis Buñuel in VIRIDIANA, THE EXTERMINATING ANGEL, SIMON OF THE DESERT stands indelible. What a career. Descanse en paz una de las más grandes del cine mexicano.

As families and friends across the U.S. share a meal, I think about what a woman I interviewed last week in Mississippi told me: “Every vegetable, every fruit, every meat on the plates of the American people was harvested or processed by immigrants.”
