I can’t think of a better argument for independent, non-corporate journalism than ProPublica. Their journalists dug into the stories that others never got to, whether because they didn’t have the time or didn’t want to threaten access or embarrass their boss’ pals.

In any event, we know about about Clarence Thomas’ Nazi-curious benfactor, Harlan Crow, those luxurious vacations Thomas never disclosed, Crow's purchase of Thomas’ mother’s house, also not disclosed, and more, thanks to ProPublica. Plus the starring role of Leonard Leo and other right-wing billionaires in buying bringing us the current right-wing extremist Supreme Court we have today.

We also learned about women being denied lifesaving abortions long before we knew about Kate Cox, how the Uvalde school children were better prepared than the cops when a mass shooter showed up, kids forced to climb over and under parked trains to get to school and other investigations not covered elsewhere or covered only after ProPublica did.
