We are so honored to be named a finalist for this year’s @PulitzerPrizes in the Explanatory Reporting category! Congrats to all our fellow finalists and winners.
Our investigation found that in dozens of U.S. cities, African Americans and Latinos continue to be routinely denied conventional mortgage loans at rates far higher than their white counterparts. revealnews.org/article/for-pe…
Our reporters' yearlong analysis was based on 31 million mortgage records.

The issues they uncovered persisted in 61 metro areas, even when controlling for applicants’ income, loan amount and neighborhood.
The story aired on our public radio show and podcast ... revealnews.org/episodes/the-r…
And we collaborated with @NewsHour to tell the story of one Philadelphia woman who encountered major obstacles when she sought a loan. pbs.org/newshour/show/…
Lastly: A MAJOR thank you to all of our partners on the project: @AP, @NewsHour, @prx – as well as all the local outlets that took the data and ran with it.

1/ NEW with @AltaJournal:

@Disneyland’s feral cats are a beloved sideshow.

They’re also a public health threat, according to local officials whose job is to prevent plagues. revealnews.org/article/the-ha…
2/ People love the cats – so much so that they’ve created an Instagram account dedicated to them. instagram.com/disneylandcats…

And a Twitter account: @disneylandcats
3/ But health officials in Orange County say that the animals can spread flea-borne typhus, which in some cases can cause humans’ brains to swell, their organs to fail, and their blood to harden in their veins.

1/ The Cenikor Foundation is one of the U.S.’s most lucrative work-based rehabs.

It pulls in millions by sending patients to work for companies like @walmart, @shell and @exxonmobil – and keeping their pay.

Its entire business model may be illegal. revealnews.org/article/they-w…
2/ Cenikor’s success is built on a simple idea: That work helps people recover from addiction. All participants have to do is surrender their pay to cover the costs of the program.
3/ The problem, though, is that the constant work leaves little time for counseling or treatment.

“It’s like the closest thing to slavery,” one patient said. He worked 10 hours per day, laying steel rebar in 115-degree heat.

"Kept Out," our investigation into modern-day redlining w/ @NewsHour, @AP and @PRX, found that in dozens of U.S. cities, people of color were being denied home loans at rates that far exceeded their white counterparts. revealnews.org/episodes/the-r…
And "Monumental Lies," a partnership with @typeinvestigate, looked at Confederate monuments across the U.S.

They're supposed to commemorate a shared history.

In reality, they’re often instrumental in erasing it. revealnews.org/episodes/monum…

Though this is a complex & ongoing #investigation, it’s clear the DNC has not been open & transparent—for what reason we don’t yet know. This is a poignant example of why we need new laws to open up the finances of our elected representatives.

Since @JohnBrennan has SOOO much to say about OUR President...time to break down some facts about him. Spoiler alert: He's as corrupt as they come. Also a verified LIAR.

[2015] CIA Director @JohnBrennan lied when he denied ordering agency employees to search Senate comps to trace a leak. Frustrated w his unwillingness to admit the obvious, 3 Senate Dems called on Brennan to admit that his agency crossed the line. dailydot.com/layer8/senate-…
[2014] The scandal stirred fresh doubts abt John Brennan’s ability to lead the CIA & could make it difficult for the agency to push back on the findings of a Senate report on Bush-era “enhanced interrogation” techniques that might be released this mothehill.com/policy/technol…FYKg
