1/ Last fall, I pitched my bosses @MotherJones on a project that would try to illustrate the depth of private equity’s investment in our daily lives, and its real-life impact. That package, with contributions from much of our newsroom, is out today: motherjones.com/privateequit…
My investigation with @AJFaultLines into deadly births at Steward's for-profit hospitals just got nominated for an Emmy?! I still can't believe @atwaheed @LailaAlarian took a chance on turning this into film. Watch (+ read) it here!

A scoop from me and @dfriedman33: Why did Bill Pulte’s charity give $65K to a nonprofit that doesn’t seem to exist? The recipient may actually be an LLC with ties to Trump’s lawyers. motherjones.com/politics/202…

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/…
I talked to @jasonfurman about the Trump admin's decision to launch a first-in-history criminal inquiry into Fed chair Jay Powell—and what happened in other countries when leaders compromised central bank independence. (Tl;dr it wasn't good!) motherjones.com/politics/202…

I may be biased because she's a friend, but this piece by @H_Lev is the best first-person account I've read summing up the mood in Providence right now motherjones.com/politics/202…
As a Brown alum and Providence resident, I have been trying to find the right words to capture the vast grief layered across this community and the people who love it. In the end, I’m not sure if it’s really, fully possible to articulate. But I tried: motherjones.com/politics/202…
And if I may—I deliberately put a lot of links to local coverage into this piece, from @projo especially. In moments like these, please read and subscribe to the local journalists doing this work! providencejournal.com/live-s…

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

New from me: In March, FHFA director Bill Pulte made himself chairman of the board of Fannie Mae. But he did not file a required disclosure form tied to the role with the SEC—the same kind of paperwork error he has used to attack Trump's political foes. motherjones.com/politics/202…
I wrote about the rise and fall of Steward Health Care—fueled by a private equity firm, a real estate trust, & multimillionaire executives. The saga is a stunning indictment of what happens when financiers try to squeeze huge returns from hospitals. /1 shorturl.at/TcvV7
…12 more moms and newborns who died. And 21 who suffered severe injuries. Their stories lay bare the line from corporate greed to shattered lives. But what we rarely get a chance to see is the long arc of devastation from these business decisions; the months and years after. /4
@atwaheed and @LailaAlarian @AJFaultLines decided to turn this reporting into a film. I'm so grateful to them. We travelled around the world to follow two families whose lives were torn apart, including Sungida’s husband and daughter /5 youtube.com/watch?v=EXkEwqKM…

Making a final plug for my feature on how election officials from both parties have prepared for possible chaos in order to keep you—and your vote—safe today.

From ending Public Service Loan Forgiveness to hampering Pell Grants, a Trump administration would decimate efforts at debt relief and college affordability. My latest: motherjones.com/politics/202…
