Last year, @H_Lev and I heard that a little-known healthcare company was buying up hospitals. It stopped paying taxes, vendors, furloughed workers, and cut costs. Then a woman froze to death on a hospital’s roof. Our investigation, out today: motherjones.com/politics/202…

Missed payments. Slashed staffing. Broken security. A patient who froze to death on the roof of a hospital.
Inside American Healthcare System, the for-profit healthcare company driving hospitals around the country to financial chaos.

#WaybackMachine
As major news outlets cut off the Wayback Machine, journalists and advocacy groups are rallying to protect the Internet Archive’s vast collection of web pages. wired.com/story/the-internet…

Destroying the @InternetArchive's @WayBackMachine would be the equivalent of the burning of the Library of Alexandria - one of the worst losses of knowledge in history.
Media giants are now threatening to do this.
We can't let this happen.
Pass it on.

I am so thrilled and grateful to get this funding from the McGraw business journalism fellowship @newmarkjschool to keep reporting on for-profit healthcare with @msabcleek! journalism.cuny.edu/2026/01/…
This past summer, @H_Lev and I published an episode of Reveal digging into why a bunch of hospitals all owned by one real estate company, Medical Properties Trust seemed to be struggling

All to stop the spread of information about a company that owns one of the most vital pieces of real estate imaginable → hospitals. motherjones.com/politics/202…

“That’s not my signature ... It’s not even spelled correctly"
“I’m beyond angry"
“That sucks, whoever did that"
We found dozens of people who say they never signed petitions for Mayor Adams' independent bid ... but whose supposed signatures nevertheless appear on the docs

Coffee is the love language for two Gaza journalists Shrouq and Roshdi. But one morning at breakfast, their family life is torn apart. And the story of a 10-year-old girl with a magnetic smile who makes magic out of breadcrumbs on a rooftop. Listen now: bit.ly/4imhzpJ

Today journalists will go to work. We will do what we’ve been trained to do, to listen and ask questions. To try and make sense of thy is moment. I wish us safety and peace as we chronicle America’s story.

With @bmyeung & @msabcleek, our collab between two of my past homes, @UCBerkeleyIRP & @reveal, we tell the story of an adopted Northern Cheyenne baby and the families - and Native people - it divided. Thankful to all who helped us to tell this story. Please give a listen.
This week on Reveal: A leaked interview with a wealthy Utah politician describing how he adopted a Native child sparks outrage from the girl’s biological family that wanted to raise her themselves.
