I've stopped my subscriptions to the NYT (years ago), WaPo, the LA Times, and a few more. But that doesn't mean I've stopped funding journalism! One of many places I donate is ProPublica, which just won a Pulitzer Prize, again.

The Pulitzer Prize winners were announced today. Here's a Flipboard Storyboard with the full list, plus some of the prizewinning stories, photos and illustrations. One particularly noteworthy winner is Ann Telnaes, who was awarded for her career as the Washington Post's editorial cartoonist — she left the paper in January after 17 years when her cartoon lampooning tech billionaires bowing down to Donald Trump was rejected by opinions editor David Shipley. We were delighted to see a win for @ProPublica's "Life of the Mother" series on abortion bans. It's the second consecutive Pulitzer in the "public service" category for one of our favorite #NewstodonFriday contributors.

@ProPublica has won the 2025 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service.
Its "Life of the Mother" series, which exposes how vague abortion laws have led to preventable deaths, was the Nominated/winning piece.
The investigation brought about legislative action in multiple states.
This marks ProPublica's eighth Pulitzer, and second consecutive win, in this category.
#ProPublica won the prestigious #Pulitzer Prize for #PublicService for series “Life of the Mother,”which judges described as “urgent reporting about #pregnant #women who #died after doctors delayed urgently needed #care for fear of violating vague ‘life of the mother’ exceptions in states w/strict #abortion #laws.” The prize is given to staff of a news org that performed “meritorious public service.” This is the 2nd consecutive year ProPublica was awarded the distinction…

Marcy Wheeler @emptywheel talks about the destruction of the Federal government & how Russ Vought, at the Office Of Management and Budget, is still pressing to support the illegal firings of people at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Auto translate on YouTube calls Russ Vought or OMB Russ "Vote" and calls #ProPublica @ProPublica "Pope Puba" That's funny but not as funny as last week's "sickopants" for sycophants. @GottaLaff
You must read this #ProPublica reporting about #ICE: “They never taught us anything regarding the immigration flights,” one said. “They didn’t tell us these people were going to be shackled, wrists to fucking ankles.”

I am going to write to my Congresspeople now and ask/demand that hearings be scheduled. Anyone else want to join?
Thank you @ProPublica
#Texas #GOP Lawmakers Propose Amending #AbortionBan Linked to Deaths & a Rise in Sepsis Cases
The bill comes after #ProPublica’s reporting on the deaths of 3 Texas women. It specifies that doctors don’t need to wait until an emergency is “imminent” to terminate pregnancies but leaves in steep penalties for those who violate the #law.

#ProPublica @ProPublica is doing valuable and constantly updated documentation work here, listing the known #DOGE conspirators. It will be helpful when these enemies of #democracy are called to account.
As good as journalism gets in America, well worth visiting, following, donating, and watch for jobs too.
#DOGE aren't "civil servants", they're just plain #criminals protected by an enemy of democracy attempting a coup.
They deserve about as much #privacy for their "work" as any member of a mafia or mob for theirs.
Visit the "Elon Musk Doge Tracker" by #ProPublica @ProPublica for details about them:
@ProPublica I love #ProPublica articles. They're well researched and focused. This story about #StLukes in #Idaho is a great example of one company standing against fascists.
An important story of corruption and influence in America
Thank you #ProPublica for continuing quality investigative journalism (even in the backyard of the #WashingtonPost )
