GOP lawmakers want to nationalize Medicaid work requirements to offset Trump’s proposed tax cuts. Georgia is the only state with such a mandate. Its experience shows that the federal effort could threaten health care for nearly 16 million Americans & cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars.

@propublica.org management has refused to allow stewards in those meetings. We're not shutting up about this — our colleagues deserve better and we're extremely disappointed in management for denying us this basic union right.
Thursday, May 8, 2025 ProPublica management continues to deny steward representation Yesterday morning, ProPublica management confirmed that it will deny steward representation to at least two more bargaining unit members it plans to discipline next week through the issuance of Performance Improvement Plans (PIPs). This is part of a larger pattern: management has denied steward representation in every meeting where members were placed on PIPs. The plans are the first step in a disciplinary process that often leads to termination. We have raised this issue repeatedly. Last Thursday, more than 70% of our unit sent an open letter to ProPublica leadership, urging them to stop resisting core union protections including steward access, just cause and accountability in the disciplinary process. This week, managers informed two employees that they would be placed on PIPs in meetings next week. Shortly afterward, ProPublica’s general counsel told Guild leadership that stewards will not be allowed in those meetings. ProPublica’s disciplinary process remains opaque, inconsistently applied and shielded from scrutiny. Blocking stewards from these meetings is out of step with our industry and the principles of fairness and accountability the newsroom claims to uphold.

Dear Steve and Robin, Since we unionized in 2023, we have worked hard to reach a contract that honors ProPublica's mission. In order to fulfill that vision, our values of fairness, transparency and accountability must apply not only to our reporting but also to our workplace. Our proposals have sought basic contractual rights that align with those values and exist at many other unionized newsrooms. Instead of working with us to codify those rights, you have struck through many of our proposals, called for broad carve outs and delayed discussion of key provisions such as protections against layoffs and overwork. Those tactics are not in line with the ProPublica you say you want to build. In recent months: ● You have refused to allow stewards in performance meetings that could lead to discipline. ● You have resisted attempts to reform our disciplinary system, rejecting a standard approach to just cause and measures to improve transparency and clarity. ● You rejected our proposal that would ensure our jobs will not be replaced by artificial intelligence. What we are seeking is simple: ProPublica management must uphold its values in its own workplace. We expect that your proposals going forward will reflect these shared values. Sincerely, ProPublica Guild
Today, we issued a letter — signed by 70% of our unit — to @sengelberg.bsky.social and @robinsparkman.bsky.social asking them to uphold ProPublica’s values of fairness, transparency and accountability at the bargaining table.

A 15-year-old opened fire at Abundant Life Christian School.
A month later, a 17-year-old killed a classmate at Antioch High School.
According to researchers, both were active in the same online networks that glorify mass shooters.

This is really scary. “This network is best described as an online subculture that celebrates violent attacks and radicalizes young people into committing violence,” said a violence prevention researcher. @wisconsinwatch.bsky.social @phoebepetrovic.bsky.social

The most recent hearing was held on Dec. 16, 2024, when Judge Peterson set a trial date for June 2025.
A scene at Delaney Park in Anchorage, Alaska, shows (in overlapping comic book style panels) a crowd of people, an overview of the park, a man looking at a woman, a woman lying on the ground, and a hand holding a jug.
A series of overlapping comic book panels shows a gavel slowly banging down, a courtroom scene, a case file, and people wringing their hands or holding their heads in a sign of frustration.

This film was inspired by the groundbreaking reporting of Duaa Eldeib (@deldeib.bsky.social).
Her series, "Stillbirths," was a finalist for a Pulitzer Prize. It includes a memorial for children lost to stillbirths: propub.li/49wf0OI
More than 20,000 pregnancies in the United States end in stillbirth each year. At least 1 in 4 are likely preventable.
Our new documentary, “Before a Breath,” gives voice to parents who have lost children to stillbirth. Here’s a sneak peek.
