George Santos, in a social media post, appeared to admit to check fraud in Brazil, a court record shows. “I know I screwed up, but I want to pay,” he wrote on Orkut. “It was always my intention to pay, but I messed up.” with @gr_ashford: nytimes.com/2023/01/01/nyreg…

Proud of @corinne_perkins @donnaindenver @caitochs and of course Magali for seeing this project through.
Four years ago, Magali Druscovich showed me this haunting photo of Heather Hurley's creased wedding dress laying on her daughter's bed. Heather was killed by her partner.

A thread about a project on #DomesticViolence facing women in the US. @MDruscovich @caitochs @corinne_perkins @MariaCaspani85 and @reuterspictures spent years painstakingly piecing together stories of three women whose murders illustrate a persistent American crisis

I recently left journalism to begin a career in mental health counseling but it feels strange not being at work reporting on this today. Glad that journalists like @gabriellaborter at @Reuters are on the ground bearing witness. #RoeVsWade
This is the moment everyone at Jackson Women’s Health Organization realized #RoeVsWade was overturned. The clinic escorts rushed behind the fence to see the news. There are patients inside.

Last line of the dissent in the Dobbs case: With sorrow—for this Court, but more, for the many millions of American women who have today lost a fundamental constitutional protection—we dissent.
