Our job is to give readers an independent, verifiable account of what’s happening, even if the president is calling us enemies of the people or bloodsuckers. At ProPublica, our mantra is that we bring the receipts to every story we publish.

The real reason Texas can't control its border: it needs the migrants too badly.

Leaked docs: While Gaza starved, USAID and State's refugees bureau came to a legally explosive conclusion — Israel had deliberately prevented food & medicine from getting in

NEW: Hospitals around the US are using inaccurate pee-in-a-cup drug tests to report new mothers to child protective services, prompting investigations and even the removal of newborns from their families over false positive results. My latest: themarshallproject.org/2024/…

In Tennessee, the head of a jail for kids says, "What we do is treat everybody like they're in here for murder."
Now 83, he gets wistful about the days kids could be paddled. “I’d whip about six or eight a year," he says.

Thanks to my lawyers who worked years to arrive at this settlement. I hope it helps deter future assaults on journalists and can be used as a benchmark in other 1A cases.
You're free to film law enforcement without fear of injury or your device getting broken. It is our right.
Breaking news: @LAist's @josie_huang, represented by attorneys from @rcfp and @gibsondunn, reached a settlement with LA County and the LA County Sheriff’s Department that sets a new benchmark for journalists whose rights are violated by law enforcement. rcfp.org/josie-huang-la-coun…

Unfortunately, this piece I reported years ago for @npr (longer version on @NPRCodeSwitch) is “evergreen” as we say in journalism. It’s about the use of dehumanizing language: npr.org/2018/06/28/624416635…
