When she learned her daughter had died, she thought, “If they would have listened to me earlier, I would have delivered a living baby. But if you’re a Black woman, you get dismissed”

This was a hard story to report.

At the morgue, the babies were brought in with their diapers and blankets and with their hospital ID bracelets still wrapped around their tiny ankles.

BREAKING: Three Trump cabinet members have multiple mortgages -- just like Fed governor Lisa Cook who Trump wants to fire. Super smart story from @RobertFaturechi, @JustinElliott and @Amierjeski of @propublica.

1/ Early on in President Trump’s second term, I spent a few weeks observing Chicago’s immigration court to get a sense of how things were changing.

One afternoon in March, the case of a 27-year-old Venezuelan asylum-seeker caught my attention.

I want to tell you his story 👇

[Melissa Sanchez @msanchezMIA]

1/ We got gov. data showing that the Trump administration knew the majority of Venezuelan men it sent to a prison in El Salvador had no criminal record in U.S. - and that only a handful had been convicted of violent crimes - before calling them all terrorists and deporting them.

When ProPublica’s reporter David Armstrong got cancer and the drug that keeps it at bay cost $1k a pill (but cost 25 cents to make), he went to work to find out why…what he found will make your blood boil…Why Is Cancer Drug Revlimid So Expensive? https://t.co/YzJ4HTW5ZY

NEW: This is a thread about a political influence project you’ve never heard of.

It involves the man second in line for the presidency and an evangelical pastor who’s quietly forged close relationships with some of the most powerful men in the country.

Incredible reporting here from @CoreyGJohnson, who exposes the hypocrisy inherent in some opposition to authorities compiling data to police bad actors while some in the gun industry use it for their own ends.

By the time 15-yr-old Jázmin Pellegrini was found dead in an SF driveway last April, Chronicle reporters Cynthia Dizikes and Joaquin Palomino had spent months investigating for-profit psychiatric hospitals.
They soon found her story epitomized the crisis inside these facilities.

“They are making a mockery of the allocation system,” said Dr. Sumit Mohan, a kidney specialist and researcher at Columbia University. “It’s shocking. And it’s going to destroy trust in the system.”

Important story from @brianmrosenthal @cocteau @blueshirt

The American organ transplant system was built to be fair. But increasingly, officials are ignoring the rules and skipping over the patients most in need. Our investigation, with @cocteau and @blueshirt: https://t.co/000Yrhn1La

The Justice Department's chief information officer in the immigration review division — a disabled veteran — just resigned. His letter to colleagues is worth a read.

[Duaa Eldeib @deldeib]

They tackled complex issues with life-or-death stakes, and still, they were fired as part of President Donald Trump’s widespread purge of federal workers.

Suddenly, the future of their public health missions was in question.

A few weeks ago, I was talking to a community health worker in Central Wisconsin who works w/ immigrant families, and was startled to hear her say they were packing up all their belongings in enormous boxes and sending them to Nicaragua - ahead of their own deportations.

[Annie Waldman @AnnieWaldman]

The Department of Labor found widespread noncompliance and violations in how health plans and insurers cover mental health care, echoing the findings of our recent ProPublica reporting.

“The rebranding of shaken baby syndrome preserved the diagnosis and allowed it to live on with less scrutiny,” says Randy Papetti. “Shaken baby syndrome is alive and well but mostly operates under an alias.”

Read the whole story by the extraordinay @pamelacolloff

[Pamela Colloff @pamelacolloff]

NEW, from me: Shaken baby syndrome--a diagnosis that has resulted in wrongful convictions across the country--continues to shape criminal prosecutions and child welfare investigations, under the name "abusive head trauma."
