fact checking... and asking myself: why did we write so many facts

Overwhelmed to see @texastribune honored alongside ProPublica FRONTLINE for amazing #Uvalde reporting at the White House Correspondents Dinner. Biggest congrats to lomikriel Lexi Churchill Zach Despart Perla Trevizo #txlege

So proud of this team for their incredible commitment and of the partnership between Texas Tribune ProPublica FRONTLINE, which won the Collier Prize. The families and the children of Uvalde deserved and continue to deserve better from their government.

Honored our team was awarded the Collier Prize for investigative reporting, a culmination of 18 months of digging into what went wrong during the Uvalde shooting. Deeply indebted to colleagues & editors at Texas Tribune ProPublica FRONTLINE for making this possible.

So proud of lomikriel Lexi Churchill Zach Despart on accepting the Collier Prize for their coverage of the Uvalde Massacre at tonight’s #WHCD ProPublica Texas Tribune

Honored to be awarded the Collier Prize for government accountability for our team’s Uvalde reporting & hope that it keeps attention on the devastating failures that day, the warnings they should send every community, & the lack of accountability & transparency 2 years later. 🧵

Mazel tov, Lexi Churchill!

So proud of my colleagues lomikriel Zach Despart Lexi Churchill, who received the Collier Prize for State Government Accountability tonight on behalf of Texas Tribune ProPublica FRONTLINE. Honored that they had the chance to meet President Biden.

As a result of the posting failures, voters did not have easy access to filings that showed at least 2 school board candidates with massive campaign hauls of more than $30k each. Hopefully this article leads to all school districts putting their campaign finance reports online!
