What I Cover
I’ve covered a variety of areas at ProPublica. Most recently, I’ve been reporting on the Department of Veterans Affairs under the Trump administration. I’ve written about warnings from inside the agency that lifesaving services were being cut, about how the Department of Government Efficiency used AI to “munch” VA contracts, and about how the administration made it harder for male vets with breast cancer to get covered. Before that, I wrote a lot about police impunity.
My Background
I joined ProPublica right when it began in 2008 and helped start its groundbreaking crowdsourcing and social teams. I embraced a “no bullshit” approach and clapped back at White House officials. I also oversaw much of ProPublica’s coverage of the first Trump administration, including the “Trump, Inc.” podcast with WNYC, which won a DuPont Award. The stories that I’ve worked on have often prompted change.
