Speechless, super grateful for a fantastic team, and devastated that this reporting was ever necessary. (Also our orgs continue fighting for records)

This year's Pulitzer nods for ProPublica wouldn't have been possible without our research team. Esp Alex Mierjeski, Kirsten Berg & Lexi Churchill. They were integral to their projects holding SCOTUS & authorities in Uvalde accountable. Incredibly proud of them propublica.org/article/pulitz…

So well deserved! What a thrill to watch these stories roll out. These stories changed our nation's understanding of SCOTUS. And the image of Scalia drinking a glacial ice martini will be with me forever

Although entering the U.S. is the goal for many asylum seekers, crossing the border is far from the end. We followed a Venezuelan family as they struggle to navigate a patchwork system that is not designed for the people it is made to serve.

Hi 👋 from 1972 when the WaPo ran this lede: “We are all just a little bit plastic now.” Said the White House’s Council on Env Quality, “I know this is going to be a significant future issue… potentially our next bad one.” Re: phthalates.
