1/ ATTENTION: We’re doubling down on our Washington coverage.

That DOESN’T mean we’re looking for the latest politics scoop.

That DOES mean we’re digging into how the government actually works and how it’s affecting people across the country.

2/ Here are just some examples of what we’ve done recently:

@yjtorbati found that @USCIS officers have decided whether to allow refugees into the country in part by running their social media posts through Google Translate propublica.org/article/google…

3/ @USDA is letting chicken factories speed up their processing lines even though the chicken industry is already the biggest source of finger amputations for workers. propublica.org/article/line-s…

4/ We’re not above a good tax record story -- we uncovered how the President’s businesses may have committed fraud by making themselves appear more profitable to lenders and less profitable to tax officials. propublica.org/article/trump-…

5/ We untangled what 2020 presidential candidates mean when they talk about Medicare-for-All (hint: hardly any of them mean the same thing). propublica.org/article/medica…

6/ Our reporting found that the IRS audits the poor more than it audits the rich. When Congress asked the IRS about it, the agency said it doesn’t have enough money to audit the wealthy properly. So it’s not going to. propublica.org/article/irs-so…

7/You get the point. We're dedicated to this, and we'd love your help. If you work(ed) for the govt and see something that doesn’t seem right, or don’t mind us calling you (on or off record) with Qs about your agency, please let us know through this form. propublica.org/getinvolved/do…
