This reporting is so important, and also just wanted to say that I love @propublica.org's How We Did This notes. I think it does so much for transparency and context, and helping people understand how a story is told.
"Critically, there is no way to know the complete scope of these stops since the government itself does not track them."

An astonishing amount of work that went into shining a light on the details in this remarkable void.

But in some North Carolina counties, the highest-income homeowners received two to three times as much money after Hurricane Helene as those with lower incomes.

Trump's airstrike on a boat in the Caribbean crossed lines not even the worst War on Terror drone strike did. Never before did the US deliberately hit a nonthreatening target, in an area where the US military freely operates, when arrest was easily doable.
