NEW: Two homeschooled teenagers in the Chicago suburbs spend their mornings tracking ICE vehicles and documenting raids.

They let me follow them for this story.

Food with maggots. A mysterious flu. Forced labor.

Those are some of the conditions detainees describe inside Delaney Hall, an ICE detention center in Newark, NJ.

My latest dispatch, from the chaotic protests outside the facility. #DelaneyHall #ICE https://t.co/lCqsCRpSji

Fantastic well-rounded reporting on the #peptide boom from @DanMing 👉 https://t.co/4FvxRuKvkl

If you're in the traditional medical system like me, peptides have become a new buzzword that seems to have gotten ahead of the #science and #medicine

This 12-minute video is a worthwhile watch for:
👉 What/How of peptides
👉 Why peptides and why the boom, #health #body 💰
👉 My concerns 🚩

⭐️My bottom line: I don't know judge people taking peptides because it's a person's individual risk/benefit decision--we just don't know what the short-term (drug-drug interactions, synergies?) or long-term (autoimmune, cancer, disease prevention?) effects are

The 12-minute doc is now live. Join me on a journey into the gray market peptide boom: https://t.co/tyUFYs2bM0

THREAD: For my latest doc, I set out to report on the growing popularity of unapproved, gray market peptides.

What I stumbled upon instead was a new gold rush.

Looksmaxxers making six figures a month.

Fitness influencers working as affiliate marketers, pushing “research chemicals” labeled NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION.

Gurus selling programs that teach people how to become peptide entrepreneurs.

American journalist Ahmed Shihab-Eldin, my friend and former colleague, has been unjustly detained for over 6 weeks in Kuwait. The Kuwaiti government must release him immediately. Journalism is NOT a crime.

NEW: Native Americans in Minneapolis—whose ancestors predate the U.S. itself—are being detained in immigration raids.

I reported on how Indigenous residents are organizing to protect their immigrant neighbors.

On January 13th, my colleague Dallin Mello and I filmed a man interacting with federal agents in Minneapolis.

It appears the man we filmed was Alex Pretti.

The Trump administration is removing thousands of service members from the U.S. military — all because they're transgender. I spent time with trans soldiers bracing for the coming purge.

The Pentagon just called off a briefing for Musk about its plans for a potential war with China, per NYT.

I recently traveled to Hawaii, Okinawa and Guam to report on these very plans—and the communities who would be on the frontlines of such a war. https://t.co/F6jjmaJMmk

NEW: The memo sent to government employees this evening offering them buyouts very closely mirrors an email Musk sent to Twitter employees in 2022 — down to the same subject line "A Fork in the Road."

I grew up in this valley, and we had smoky skies every few years—but never anything like this. Heartbreaking to see. Hope everyone stays safe.

Flew around the Kelowna wildfire today. Our plane circled nearby Penticton for an hour before attempting, and aborting, a landing. #kelownafires

It has been almost 3 months since most of our post-petition colleagues—people who were officially let go after VICE declared bankruptcy on May 15—stopped getting paychecks.

Many haven't received a single dollar in the severance they are owed. Here are some of their experiences.

Farewell VICE News Tonight. Forever grateful to the people who trusted us to tell their stories, and for the incredibly talented collaborators (and friends!) I worked with along the way.
