    Billy Long’s stint running the IRS lasted 2 months. Now Trump’s sending him to Iceland as ambassador. My earlier story with @amierjeski.bsky.social looked at why he was such an unusual choice: www.propublica.org/article/bill...

    The former representative from Missouri, who once pushed to abolish the IRS, has marketed himself as a certified tax and business advisor after attending only a three-day seminar.

    Despite dire weather alerts, local officials in Texas failed to warn or evacuate before flash floods killed over 100 — echoing the same inaction seen during Hurricane Helene. Why does this keep happening? @jenniferberryhawes.bsky.social digs in for @propublica.org www.propublica.org/article/texa...

    Weather warnings predicted devastation from both the Texas floods and Hurricane Helene. But in both disasters, people were left in harm’s way.

    The reporting of my colleagues @cassandrajaramillo.bsky.social and @jeremykohler.bsky.social has prompted an overhaul of how Texas funds anti-abortion centers. Previous spending reached $100 million with little oversight and lots of strange billing practices: www.propublica.org/article/texa...

    After a ProPublica and CBS News investigation revealed that Texas’ funding pipeline for anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers is riddled with waste, nonprofits in the program must now provide a detai...

    After our investigation uncovered waste in Texas’ anti-abortion program, state officials will now require providers to submit receipts before getting reimbursed with taxpayer dollars. Follow-up by @cassandrajaramillo.bsky.social and me for @propublica. www.propublica.org/article/texa...

    Many states rely on the federal government for the vast majority of their emergency management funding. Now, local leaders are looking for clues about the money — and the future of FEMA itself. Great reporting as always by @jenniferberryhawes.bsky.social. www.propublica.org/article/fema...
