Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story. For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards. Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵

ProPublica’s @andykroll.bsky.social spent months chronicling Russ Vought’s rise from the Senate mailroom to one of the most influential players in the current Trump administration, where he has tried to fulfill his desire to put federal workers “in trauma.”

When people say "We used to drink raw milk from our own cow and it was fine," That's... usually not the case! In families w their own cow, the mom usually boiled it before using. We just forgot bc that's a boring chore that mom did. And who pays attention to that? youtu.be/vKDPast9WFk

I am livid that my student who submitted a diversity F31 and received an outstanding score, near the top of the fundable range, was told to submit again. Refusing to fund F31s from URMs while funding regular F31s from white/privileged students with worse scores is blatant discrimination.

I don’t care what Colossal or Beth Shapiro are trying to sell you. Woolly mammoths are extinct and not coming back. De-extinction is an unethical vanity grift that cannot deliver on its promises.

A study projects how climate change will modify the areas suited for growing 30 major crops under 4 scenarios. Half of global croplands could see a drop in suitable crops under 2C, with barley, wheat, soybean, lentil and potato being the most affected. @carbonbrief.org piece here: buff.ly/6AispQI

If you believe that gutting American science makes us great, stop taking your medication, stop going to National Parks, toss your phone in the toilet, turn off your TV, and heck, stop stop eating food, because you wouldn’t want to benefit from all that nasty public science you think is so wasteful.

New from me — “What it comes down to is the removal of choice, especially when it comes to established health care. People should not have to suffer the anguish of being denied life-saving drugs because a couple of guys have decided to apply conspiracy theories instead of established science.”

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

this is the thing not to lose sight of. yes, the biology of sex is complex and fascinating, with nearly endless diversity. but also we don't use biology to decide who gets human rights. like, historically speaking that has not led to good places!

#Woodpecker Wednesday! And Day 4 of #ArtAdventCalendar - this winter's cast of characters so far when it comes to the intergrade Northern Flickers that show up in my yard. One returning bird so far (seen since Feb 24) and two newbies. 🎨🪶🐡🧪 #ornithology - and see reply for more info

Illustration of three individual Northern Flickers - heads, underwing colors, and tail pattern for the last bird. These intergrades (mixes between Red- and Yellow-shafted Flickers) are each unique. Top bird, a female, has a mostly gray head with a red nape chevron and orange underwing. Middle bird, a female, has a mostly tan head, red underwing, and no additional markings. Last bird, a male, has a face mostly like a standard Red-shafted male (gray head with a darker crown and red moustache) but a yellow-orange underwing and a tail that is half yellow-orange and half bright yellow.
