How do I keep track of everything in the Trump administration's budget?
I make giant, searchable data tables like this. And then I mine them for story ideas.
See something in here you think I should dig into? I want to hear about it: jacob.bogage@tr.com, or jacobbogage.87 securely on Signal.
🧵Missed diagnoses, delayed treatment and poor medical care are driving record deaths in ICE custody.
@kolyncheang.bsky.social and I spent months investigating the deaths of ICE detainees across the US. Over and over again, we found lapses in treatment that proved fatal.
👀 Catholic Republican members of Congress are about to get asked if they renounce the head of their own church, or if they break with a Republican president.
Do not make fun of Long Beach Island! The greatest place on Earth!
If you haven’t been, don’t go! We don’t want crowds!
These two faiths have a combined 3.5 billion adherents, or roughly HALF the world’s population.
In the span of one month, President Trump has sarcastically remarked “Praise be to Allah,” and attacked the head of the Catholic Church — who happens to be a U.S. citizen.
Week one at the White House for @reuters.com.
“A whole civilization will die tonight,” Trump declares.
📬 REUTERS EXCLUSIVE: Amazon reaches a multi-billion dollar deal with USPS on package deliveries

I see what you did there. Love it.
Today is the day! It’s my first day at @reuters.com covering the White House and economy.
Drop me a line. My new email is jacob.bogage@thomsonreuters.com.
I had a really nice break. Time to get back to work.

When does thinking about your own family become “pronatalism”?
Most Americans are concerned about *over*population, per a new YouGov poll.
And a plurality simultaneously want more kids.
My lunch with a toddler this weekend sent me down a rabbit hole.
🚨 Trump declares the U.S. will attack civilian infrastructure in its war with Iran.
Lmao I didn’t even realize that. Sorry, @keithlaw.bsky.social ! That probably came off as super aggressive of me! This post started getting a bunch of new traffic today and I lost track of who wrote back when.
Introduced in 1970 in a bipartisan act of Congress. Reaffirmed by lawmakers and presidents of both parties. Please don’t post disinformation like this.
That requirement was repealed in 2022.
That is legitimately what USPS is supposed to do. By law. People who say that’s insane have a *really* good point. But I’m reporting on the world as it is and literally how USPS is designed by Congress to function.
Dude, all I can do is give people the facts. If you want to deny reality, I don’t think that’s healthy, but that’s your choice.
Comes with the territory.
I think it’s great that you care about this. I also think that there are folks w real expertise on certain issues. I don’t want you to “stick” to anything. I’m glad you’re so invested. I’m also not going to argue w you about Red Sox bullpen bec I know you’ve done the reporting to gain the expertise.
I don’t think I did compare it to Amazon. I said how much money Amazon pays USPS every year. But Amazon also does compete for some of the same clients.
I don’t take offense to the questions — it’s really a criticism of USPS’s very muddy mission and its management.
That would be great if it were true! It is sadly not true!
I didn’t say it was! It is an independent agency of the executive branch chartered to report finances like a business.
So close! First part is correct. The prefunding mandate was repealed in 2022.
