1/ Last summer, @acleek.bsky.social and I started getting emails from staffers of a company called American Healthcare Systems. They told us that their hospitals were in financial chaos and that they were struggling to care for patients. So we started digging: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/07/american-healthcare-systems-michael-sarian-for-profit-private-equity-adolphus-death/

When my brilliant colleague @julialurie.bsky.social took out her IUD, she felt happier than she had in years. In true Julia fashion, this sparked an investigation: about birth control, mental health, and the work by scientists who are scrutinizing birth control to improve it: bit.ly/3SPQsMf https://bit.ly/3SPQsMf

Given the news that Trump has just appointed Bill Pulte as acting director of national intelligence, it feels timely to revisit the three different episodes of financial impropriety by Pulte that I’ve reported on in the just last six months! Let’s recap:/1

@whatsitlike.me reports on a new tactic favored by venture capital and private equity to shrink debt and walk away from risky investments virtually scot-free: Chapter 7 bankruptcy, using the example of the popular convenience chain, Foxtrot. /1 https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/05/foxtrot-venture-capital-chapter-7-bankruptcy-private-equity/

I know there is a lot happening but we should all be worried that America's main Wall Street watchdog quietly announced last week that it is prosecuting way fewer financial crimes: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/04/trump-sec-financial-crimes-enforcement-drop-wall-street/

@dfriedman.bsky.social and I recently published a story about a mysterious donation by Bill Pulte's charity that might have been funneling money to help Donald Trump. Today @warren.senate.gov and @wyden.senate.gov are demanding answers from Pulte himself: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/04/bill-pulte-warren-wyden-letter-charity-donation-investigation/

My @motherjones.com investigation with Fault Lines into deadly births at Steward's for-profit hospitals just got nominated for an Emmy?! I'm still in awe that @atwaheed.bsky.social @lailaalarian.bsky.social took a chance on turning this into film. Watch it here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXkEwqKMN0I

From me and @dfriedman.bsky.social: Why did Bill Pulte’s charity give $65K to a nonprofit that doesn’t seem to exist? The recipient may actually be an LLC with ties to Trump’s lawyers. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/02/bill-pulte-donald-trump-jan-6-defendants-donation-charity-mystery/

Tresasury Sec Scott Bessent just told the House Financial Services Committee that there will be a Super Bowl ad this weekend for the new Trump accounts for babies. Who is paying for that pricey commercial?

A secret family office is quite something. Wow. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Wow, this story. It is so telling of the news landscape we live in that a not-so-mini bank bailout seems to be happening as we speak and...almost no one has noticed. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

I am so thrilled and grateful to get this funding from the McGraw business journalism fellowship @newmarkjplus.bsky.social to keep reporting on for-profit healthcare with @acleek.bsky.social ! https://www.journalism.cuny.edu/2026/01/investigative-reporting-grants-mcgraw-2026/

I talked to @jasonfurman.bsky.social about the Trump admin's decision to launch a first-in-history criminal inquiry into Fed chair Jay Powell—and what happened in other countries when leaders compromised central bank independence. (Tl;dr it wasn't good!) https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/01/trump-federal-reserve-jerome-powell-fed-chair-investigation-jason-furman/

YES. Thayer Street businesses need our $ right now and East Side Pockets is the absolute GOAT. My go-to order is a gyro-falafel combo wrap! Also low-key the best waffle fries in Providence. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

As a Brown alum and Providence resident, I have been trying to find the right words to capture the vast grief layered across this community and the people who love it. In the end, I’m not sure if it’s really, fully possible to articulate.
