Congratulations to @natlash.bsky.social for this recognition of his rigorous, scientific work investigating the spread of bird flu! healthjournalism.org/blog/2026/04...

Next Monday, I will start my new role as an editor and columnist for Hearst, working both with the newsroom in Connecticut and with a national team that builds tools that can be deployed across Hearst’s newsrooms. My work will be centered not on what’s happening in Washington but more directly on what’s happening in communities.

Hello Bluesky! We're the Washington Post data team. We dig through government records, social media, campaign finance reports, weather maps, and any other data we can dig up, download, FOIA or create. Then, we share what we find with you.

We've worked on a lot in the past year. A few highlights 🧵

Screenshot of ProPublica webpage titled “Explore Financial Disclosures From President Trump and 1,500 of His Appointees,” accompanied by this blurb: “Use this database to explore potential conflicts of interest for President Donald Trump and his team. The documents disclose positions officials have held outside government, their assets and their debts, among other things.” A search bar prompts the user to search for a person or financial holding.

THREAD: We just released a tool that allows you to search billions of dollars in wealth, ties to the most powerful companies in the country, and details of the personal finances of President Trump and over 1,500 of his appointees.

An internal Department of Homeland Security policy document from February 2025 shows agency officials, including top aide Corey Lewandowski and Noem — referred to as “S1,” signing off on a policy change.

Someone on the House Judiciary committee should ask Noem about this document turned up by @propublica.org showing DHS "chief advisor" Corey Lewandowski signing off on an agency policy change:
