For a year, my colleague @ScheckNYTimes and I looked into why domestic workers from across East Africa, who are promised jobs and a better life in Saudi Arabia, continued to face abuse, starvation and death. Here's what we found. nytimes.com/2025/03/16/wor…

@sokane1 @ashleevance @bradleyhope I always said we should market it as a children's book

@ashleevance True story when my kid was an infant there were nights I would read Blood and Oil by @bradleyhope and @ScheckNYTimes out loud to get him to sleep because I was trying to finish it 😂

The two books I've read the most times: Henderson the Rain King and Darkness at Noon. Now you go

Israel found the Hamas $ machine years ago. Nobody shut it down. My latest w ⁦@ScheckNYTimes⁩ features frustrated spies, secret ledgers, Saudi interrogations, & intel on a Hamas investment portfolio the US & Israel knew about but failed to prioritize nytimes.com/2023/12/16/wor…

@BruceOrwall taught many of us how to do the most important things we do. This is great news for WSJ.

NEW: Bruce Orwall, a longtime WSJ editor, has been named head of enterprise, @emmatuckerWSJ just said in an email to the newsroom, responsible for building a capacity to produce enterprise stories "faster and more flexibly"

"Hang in there, we are doing all that we can...Your colleagues and friends around the world love and support you, and we’ll get you out as soon as we can." My message to our reporter Evan Gershkovich who's been detained in Russia since March 29:

Evan will likely spend this Passover in isolation inside a Moscow prison. Set a place for him at your Seder table.

The job is straightforward, dangerous and will soon be open to applicants: filling a 122-millimeter Soviet-style artillery shell with explosives that will turn it into a lethal projectile. @ScheckNYTimes @BoryanaDz @NikolayDoychin4 nytimes.com/2023/02/23/wor…

David Sanford was a WSJ legend and wrote a story that made me proud of the institution where I worked for 15 years. wsj.com/articles/SB847… He was also a great editor and the best kind of benevolent newsroom grouch. The rest of us grouches will miss him.

I'm really proud of this whole series, which I expect will shift the public debate around sports betting. But on the off-chance you don't want to read 16,000 words of in-depth investigations, we have a much briefer version that has some of the highlights. nytimes.com/2022/11/20/bus…

This is the untold story of the most important prisoner swap since the end of the Cold War. It’s one of the most important pieces of journalism I’ve worked on—and reveals many secrets about the way power really works in our world. wsj.com/articles/huawe…

This story with ⁦⁦⁦@rob_barry⁩ was my last for the WSJ (my name is in the fine print at the bottom, since I no longer work there). We spent days door knocking, sheep dodging and visiting the bronze Bee Gees statue on the Isle of Man wsj.com/articles/russi…

New story, reported with @ScheckNYTimes: Authorities are trying to track Russian money. A web of shell companies run out of the Isle of Man makes it hard wsj.com/articles/russi…

I made a special one episode podcast about the case of Free Joseon, especially @christopher_ahn, for Brazen Presents. It’s out today, one week before The Rebel and the Kingdom (rebelandthekingdom.com) is published: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bra…

@RMac18 I always figured it meant smart as in sharply dressed. In contrast to slovenly brevity

If you were to name your book "Smart Brevity" wouldn't a more appropriate name just be "Brevity"
