Nuclear news from @hntrbrkmedia: hundreds of tons of yellowcake uranium are on the move in Niger.

In order to reach an export terminal in nearby Togo, Russia and Niger appear poised to move the uranium over hundreds of miles of territory occupied by jihadist groups. Late last month, residents of Arlit, a mining town in northern Niger, watched dozens of trucks depart the SOMAÏR uranium mine, heading south. 

Orano, the French nuclear company that owned the site, says it did not authorize the shipment.

An OSINT investigation — website data, IP addresses, social media accounts — traced the truth.

NEW INVESTIGATION: The smell that haunts Danville — and the company behind it.

For years, Viscofan’s Illinois plant has flooded a struggling town with toxic emissions.

Families say they’re paying with their health — and their lives.

WATCH: Hunterbrook spoke with more than 40 workers and residents.

We reviewed EPA filings, inspection records, drone footage, and property data.

And we obtained more than 80 photos and videos from inside and around the plant where phones are banned.

The picture is clear: a toxic facility in the middle of a vulnerable town.

POISONED USA: Hunterbrook launches a new series exposing toxic polluters.

For decades, companies have killed and sickened people with impunity. Now, with the EPA captured by the industries it was meant to regulate, the crisis worsens.

We've built a nationwide database to expose the harm and hold accountable those responsible.

Our months-long investigation reveals a cycle: Contaminate. Clean Up. Repeat.

BREAKING: Hunterbrook on-the-ground reporting confirms Spruce Pine’s high-purity quartz mines — responsible for 80% of the global supply — are temporarily out of commission after the devastating Hurricane Helene, creating a potential bottleneck in the supply chain for semiconductors that power our cell phones, computers, and LLMs.

But we also saw remarkable resilience from the people fighting to bring the mines, and their community, back.

Read on for our reporting on the damage, and courage, in Spruce Pine — with the first published images and videos from the mines since the storm. Spruce Pine, population 2194, may be the most important town to the global economy per capita.

Its mines, operated by Sibelco and The Quartz Corp, are crucial to the tech industry.

But operations at both facilities have been suspended since last Thursday, according to a statement form the company:

NEW, BIG INVESTIGATION: I felt like death in bed." “Worst experience ever.” Reddit users describe knockoff GLP-1 drugs from $HIMS, which a reporter of ours got prescribed after a quick survey... without talking to a doctor or sharing medical records.

MORE below on our dive into $HIMS’s shady supplier and potential legal/regulatory risks. Hims isn't selling FDA-approved drugs like Ozempic or Wegovy.

It's exploiting a loophole that let’s it sell knockoff "compounded" drugs during shortages.

An obesity doctor, @DrAngelaFitch, called the proliferation of these knockoffs: "the largest uncontrolled, unconsented human experiment of our lifetime."

BREAKING: ARCHER-DANIELS-MIDLAND LIED ABOUT PRESENCE IN XINJIANG.

COMPANY CLAIMED “NO IDENTIFIABLE DIRECT OR INDIRECT CONNECTION” WITH REGION KNOWN FOR UYGHUR FORCED LABOR DESPITE OWNING MAJOR STAKE IN TWO GROWING FACILITIES.

HUNTERBROOK ALSO FOUND TIES BETWEEN ADM AND ASTON, A COMPANY SUSPECTED OF STEALING UKRAINIAN GRAIN.

FINDINGS RAISE SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT ONE OF THE LARGEST FOOD COMPANIES IN THE WORLD. Our first investigation began when we noticed ADM's partner, Wilmar International, had expanded two food processing facilities in Xinjiang, China – a region notorious for state-sponsored forced labor.

This came as other major companies, including ADM rival Cargill, left the region.

In February, we came across a video on YouTube showing hundreds of VinFast vehicles, sold to a company owned by VinFast's CEO, sitting in a field collecting dust. But when we went back to find it, the video was gone. Luckily, we had screenshots. With help from the @bellingcat geolocation community, we found the field. Turns out, it was one of several places in Vietnam where VinFast vehicles sold to companies owned by the CEO appeared to be stored, as seen in these satellite images.

“We fucking took those cocksuckers down, fuck them, and we’re gonna keep fucking sticking it to them forever.” — Mat Ishbia, CEO of @UWMlending, owner of the @Suns Can’t say we expected at least three of those words to be in our first post.

But we also didn’t expect to find out that UWM became the biggest mortgage lender in the country based in part on a lie — and that Ishbia bought the Suns with the help of Americans overpaying on their mortgages.
