In Praise of Marilyn Thompson She's the only one covering the new Epstein allegations about Trump.

“We did old-fashioned shoe-leather-type stuff that I haven’t seen done in many a year,” Marilyn Thompson told MS NOW.

So proud of Marilyn, who is breaking huge stories from her home state’s local paper.

ProPublica Expands Audio Team

About 3 months ago, I relocated from Minneapolis to NYC to take a new role as the host of ProPublica's forthcoming podcast. Very bizarre timing on my part. BUT! We've been quietly building something and here are the incredible audio superstars who're on the team: www.propublica.org/atpropublica...

Look at these charts. TransUnion and Experian, two of the three major credit bureaus, have started dismissing a larger share of consumer complaints without help. The timing coincides with the Trump administration’s dismantling of the CFPB. www.propublica.org/article/cred... @joeljacobs.bsky.social

Eyeing Voting Rights, Liberals Aim to Secure Wisconsin’s Supreme Court through 2030 - Bolts After flipping the court in 2023, Wisconsin liberals now hope to expand their majority on a body that could be a critical backstop for voting rights during the next presidential election.

NEW: Believe it or not, it’s that time of year: the Wisconsin Supreme Court election is next month.

Liberals have a huge opportunity: if they win, they can lock down the majority of this court thru 2030.

That means they’d have it in the next presidential race, a big democracy guardrail.

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared. ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the hundreds of pregnant women navigating this broken system in Texas.

Our team has reported data that shows a horrifying story: www.propublica.org/article/texa...

Feeling a righteous rage after ping ponging btwn doctor’s offices for weeks due to bleeding and abdominal pain.

Turns out my IUD partially expelling out of my uterus into my abdomen. Dallas Baylor ER was only place that could help me.

Women’s healthcare in Texas is very broken 😞

An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.

Headline card with text at the top that reads: "The number of US-aligned countries in the UN has crashed under Trump". Two separate cluster of circles below show that during Obama and Biden years 46 countries were aligned with the US compared to 7 during Trump years.

Analysis shows that the world is moving closer to China, as Trump’s isolationism rears its head at the United Nations.
