Research shows the more times you hear a statement, the more likely you are to believe it.
We analyzed >12,000 of Trump’s immigration statements & found his most repeated claims, some of which he's made >500 times. All false. Here they are, fact-checked: themarshallproject.org/2024/…
Job Alert!
I'm not on here much - suit guy became too much - but happy to say The Marshall Project is hiring a new data reporter to join our powerful data team (@AndrewRCalderon @AnnaFlagg @geoffhing @IlicaMahajan). Come to office hours to learn more.

Are you a criminal justice reporter, or a storyteller interested in criminal justice issues? @marshallproj just launched Investigate This! with toolkits to help local journalists and others with their original reporting. Check it out: themarshallproject.org/inves…

Investigate This! is a new initiative from @marshallproj to empower criminal justice journalism in local communities. Here's everything you need to turn their criminal justice reporting into stories for your community: themarshallproject.org/inves…

Criminal justice journalism can significantly impact local communities. That's why @marshallproj is launching Investigate This! to share reporting resources and data downloads with newsrooms across the US.
Email me at [email protected] with any questions.
Let me show you a smart practice.
"Investigate This" from the Marshall Project gives other newsrooms the tools they need to do their own versions of investigations the Marshall Project succeeded with.

A "reporting recipe" is what @propublica calls it.

Even a small story — especially involving death row — takes a small village. @nxkylah joined me on this interview. @akibasolomon edited + shaped our framing. @keribla reported on the case with me and spoke to Gonzales in 2022. Thanks to them and many others.
I interviewed Ramiro Gonzales, who is scheduled to be executed on Wednesday.
"Being stigmatized as a menace to society made me want to change," he told me. We talk about his remorse and rebirth, as well as the particular gallows humor of death row.

Use our migrant child labor data!
More children are crossing the border on their own than ever before, and thousands are ending up doing dangerous, illegal jobs.
We sued the government for a huge trove of data about these kids, and shared it all here: github.com/nytimes/hhs-child…
Breaking the X-fast to bring you this exciting news. Follow @nxkylah!!
I am excited to announce that this summer I will be a part of the 2024 @DJNF cohort placed as a data reporting intern at @MarshallProj!
It has been a dream of mine to work with TMP since I found out about it years ago.
Can’t wait to see what I learn and help produce!

Have you ever been paid a set fee for a gig and thought ‘I should spend as little time as I can on this’?
Brian Dorsey’s lawyers were paid flat fees, and many think this is why he faces execution next week.
I dug into how common this is with @keribla:

There are far more nonfatal shootings than gun murders—yet police give them far less attention. For @marshallproj I spent time with a unique unit of @Denverpolice that demonstrates these "almost-cides” are every bit as solvable—and every bit as important. themarshallproject.org/2023/…

Así se ha expandido el hallazgo de fosas clandestinas en el país desde 2007.
En total, son 5,696.
El mapa fue diseñado y desarrollado por @eads.
Es interactivo, pueden buscar por año y por municipio. La base de datos está descargable.

México es un país de fosas.
Al menos 5 mil 696 fosas clandestinas se han localizado en 570 municipios desde 2007.
Casi una por día.
Más de la mitad han sido encontradas en el sexenio de López Obrador.
