Must-read story by Drilled and ProPublica. Beyond Denial: How Oil Execs Shaped a Landmark Climate Study propublica.org/article/wedge…
This was a hard story to report.
At the morgue, the babies were brought in with their diapers and blankets and with their hospital ID bracelets still wrapped around their tiny ankles.

1/ Early on in President Trump’s second term, I spent a few weeks observing Chicago’s immigration court to get a sense of how things were changing.
One afternoon in March, the case of a 27-year-old Venezuelan asylum-seeker caught my attention.
I want to tell you his story 👇

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.

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.

“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.”

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/2025…

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.

“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.”

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."
