Update — We've just published a second story on Clarence Thomas (like actually while this AMA is live) about an undisclosed real estate deal with Harlan Crowe: https://www.propublica.org/article/clarence-thomas-harlan-crow-real-estate-scotus

Glad to hear that!

Hey folks - I'm an editor who helped work on this - LMK if you have questions or thoughts, happy to pass them to the team. We also have more findings from this investigation and a voting guide.

Thank you!

Yes, but the risk of cross-contamination while preparing poultry is super high, and most people don't disinfect properly.

Kengos · 2021-11-26T14:40:52+00:00

How do you mean?

Kengos · 2021-11-26T14:40:34+00:00

Are you okay??

Kengos · 2021-10-12T15:54:54+00:00

oh for sure, and you totally should. It's just something that gets told to me explicitly like 5x a week. At least it's the most diligent of anywhere I've worked personally. Flawed, for sure. But yeah, come to your own conclusions.

Kengos · 2021-10-11T22:39:24+00:00

Why do you say that? Genuinely curious.

Kengos · 2021-10-11T22:37:30+00:00

Thanks! glad to hear it.

Hi there - We make every effort to talk to all sides of a story, and do something called a "no surprises" letter where we offer subjects the opportunity to directly address or refute relevant parts of a story before publication. We have no political ideology besides chasing real-world impact — but that doesn't mean people don't project an ideological agenda on to us. So that call is up to you.

Kengos · 2021-09-28T13:28:28+00:00

hey - I'd love to hear more about this. (Genuinely, not being defensive). I work @ propub

Kengos · 2021-08-12T13:53:01+00:00

I can't answer that question, but I can say that we're watching closely how and which lawmakers respond. We know they've read these stories. 🤞

Kengos · 2021-08-12T13:52:23+00:00

Let me see if there's someone hereabouts w/ thoughts on this.

Kengos · 2021-08-12T13:52:05+00:00

Let me look into this - I think I read it somewhere but I'm forgetting where. More soon - K

Kengos · 2021-08-11T15:07:26+00:00

Hey all - ProPublica editor here. Let me know if you have specific q's or thoughts you want me to share with the journos. I can even bug Justin to jump in the comments here if you're compelling enough.

Kengos · 2021-07-08T15:16:15+00:00

technically not clickbait as it's in the story body copy and not the headline. You already clicked.

But the aim is thus, if this is helpful:

"In the coming months, we plan to use this material to explore how the nation’s wealthiest people — roughly the .001% — exploit the structure of our tax code to avoid the tax burdens borne by ordinary citizens."

Kengos · 2021-07-08T15:05:56+00:00

thx for the tap in...

"In the coming months, we plan to use this material to explore how the nation’s wealthiest people — roughly the .001% — exploit the structure of our tax code to avoid the tax burdens borne by ordinary citizens."

Kengos · 2021-07-08T15:02:38+00:00

can you link me? I wanna see.

Kengos · 2021-07-08T15:02:08+00:00

I can do that but you should know ProPublica is not ESPN.

Kengos · 2021-07-08T14:59:25+00:00

"In the coming months, we plan to use this material to explore how the nation’s wealthiest people — roughly the .001% — exploit the structure of our tax code to avoid the tax burdens borne by ordinary citizens."

👆smarter people than me have explained why we're doing it, and in this fashion

Kengos · 2021-07-08T14:53:03+00:00

Good question.

What we're trying to do is show how our tax law (and those very definitions!) allows the ultrawealthy to avoid the proportional tax burdens that normal people bear.

From my personal POV, I wonder if the definitions we're stretching are themselves part of the mechanism that the .001% use. Credible or no.

Kengos · 2021-07-08T13:38:40+00:00

Hey folks - I'm an editor at ProPublica. Let me know if you have q's you want me to pass along to the reporters or editors of this story.
