Research shows the more times you hear a statement, the more likely you are to believe it. We analyzed >12,000 of Trump’s immigration statements & found his most repeated claims, some of which he's made >500 times. All false. Here they are, fact-checked: themarshallproject.org/2024/…

@geoffhing analyzed years of county finance data & found jails paid for additional charges for things such as COVID-19 tests and sensors designed to improve health monitoring, or for lab tests & prescription drugs when those costs were excluded/or exceeded a threshold.

I was at City College Tuesday night, reporting for the @nytimes Two sets of protesters were arrested that night. The first set was a crowd outside City College’s locked gates. NYPD arrested this group on two separate occasions that evening at different locations. timeline/🧵

Just obtained video showing police remove a woman’s hijab at ASU. Legal sources tell @ABC15 that four women had this happen. It’s another constitutional issue from this weekend's protests. *This is a screenshot. Video posted in next tweet*

Yesterday we reported how a state board had denied nearly two-thirds of medical release requests from dying and disabled Illinois prisoners who met the criteria under the law to get out. @GovPritzker told reporters today there was nothing wrong with that injusticewatch.org/news/pris…

PHX, I need your help: Here's a summary of how the city says they plan to mitigate heat this summer. But what about follow through? How are they doing? Is it working? As I report it out & collect data, share with me your experiences and anecdotes. azcentral.com/story/news/loc…

An examination of pay at the Chicago Tribune undertaken by the guild uncovered a troubling but sadly unsurprising truth: The Chicago Tribune regularly pays women and people of color less than men and white people. Here's what we found: chicagotribuneguild.com/pays…

It’s Day 7 of our strike and we’re going strong! We’re on a ULP strike because we need @Insider to remedy its unfair labor practices and settle a fair contract.

Today, our bargaining committee sent two letters to groups with meaningful influence on Insider: Axel Springer and KKR. We asked them to encourage Insider to give us reasonable counters, a key move toward ending our ULP strike. Here are the letters and their key points: (1/6)

20 years ago the Republic had 400+ journalists Today its < 90 of us, even as Arizona grapples w a housing crisis, the nation's largest school voucher program and a historic drought. So, we're walking out in an effort to stem the austerity of Gannett and finally win a contract.
THE ARIZONA REPUBLIC GUILD IS WALKING OFF THE JOB 🧵 It's very simple, what @Gannett is offering us would leave some members with LESS money in their paychecks each week, and that is unacceptable. We've started a GoFundMe to help support our journalists bit.ly/AZ-GoFundMe

Nurse relative, age 52, with 3 kids can no longer work and will be on oxygen for life after four bouts of COVID-caused pneumonia and blood clots. Insurance doesn’t cover a portable oxygen concentrator so she’s effectively tethered to her bed until she makes $5k. Somehow.
