July 2026 Updates
Happy July! I’ll be speaking at San Francisco’s Disability Cultural Center on my disability reporting on August 5–come in person if you’re in the area or watch virtually (RSVP here). Here’s also AHCJ coverage of the autism reporting talk I was a part of in May.
Here’s what I’ve had published this month. And one in June, because I sent out my article before a last-minute one.
June 30: Tom Kean Jr. Sought Help for Depression. He Hasn’t Made It Easy for Others To Do the Same. (A collab with Sophie Hurwitz)
July 1: Venezuela’s Earthquake-Hit Health System Is in Crisis (Very short blog, don’t expect much.)
June 7: Palantir Has a Hand in NIH’s Most Ambitious Health Initiative (Arguably a scoop of sorts, first to report critically on this relationship)
July 10: Lawsuit Accuses ICE and Private Prison Contractors of Abusing a Disabled Detainee
July 13: Polio Made Mitch McConnell MAHA’s Enemy (Spoke with two polio survivors for this one)
July 16: The Only Research Center For Disabled Parents Is Losing Federal Funding
July 29: California Does Medicaid Home Care Well. They’re Being Punished For It.
