Corrections

Correction, Oct. 27, 2026: This story originally misstated what a 2025 New Mexico law allowed. It established, in part, new rules for large private power systems known as microgrids, including allowing utilities to purchase fossil fuel-based electricity without it counting against their renewable energy requirements and allowing related businesses to buy and sell electricity within the same microgrid. It also requires that the electricity microgrids generate and sell come from net-zero-carbon sources — but not until 2045. The law did not state that private facilities, like the planned Project Jupiter data center, could generate electricity using natural gas and grant them a 20-year exemption from clean-energy laws.

Correction, Sept. 27, 2026: This story originally misidentified a screenshot of the DraftKings app. It depicts standard rules of blackjack, not what’s known as a “dark pattern.” ProPublica has replaced the image with the one originally intended and updated the description of the image in the text.

Correction, Sept. 8, 2026: This story, in a section about Bilt relaunching its credit cards with new financial partners in February and the problems that ensued, originally contained a complaint that a customer sent to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. However, that complaint was made in February 2025, a year before the relaunch. It has been removed from the story.

Correction, Aug. 7, 2026: This story originally incorrectly described the layout of Jimmie “Chris” Duncan’s house. The house has one story, not two.

Correction, May 27, 2026: In comparing the hospice-release window in Louisiana prisons to those windows in other states, this story originally mistakenly said Alabama, South Carolina and Tennessee release prisoners who are estimated to have six months to live. Those states release prisoners whose life expectancy is one year. Florida releases prisoners with six months to live.

Correction, March 11, 2026: Two charts accompanying this story, showing the relief rates of TransUnion and Experian, were mislabeled. The data they showed was as of December 2025, not Feb. 23, 2026, as an accompanying note said. The charts have been updated to reflect the data as of Feb. 23, 2026.

Correction, March 3, 2026: This story originally misstated how Nike characterizes workers’ wages.

Correction, Feb. 9, 2026: This story has been updated to remove a sentence about the Institute of Museum and Library Services’ current budget, which misstated its value and size relative to recent years. The budget is $291.8 million, not $112 million, and is a small reduction to, not a third of, its previous years’ funding.

Correction, Feb. 9, 2026: This story originally misstated the nationality of Diana Crespo. She is Venezuelan, not Honduran.

Correction, Jan. 27, 2026: This story originally contained incorrect figures for green energy projects tallied by Seattle nonprofit Clean & Prosperous. The projects could contribute $149 billion, not $195 billion, to the economy. The estimate was contingent on construction occurring by 2035, not 2030.

Correction, Jan. 25, 2026: This story originally misidentified Jack Townsend’s previous occupation. He is a former tax attorney for the Department of Justice, not a former federal tax prosecutor.

Correction, Dec. 15, 2025: This story originally misstated whether some of the men deported to CECOT entered the U.S. legally. While nearly half of them were deported in the middle of their immigration cases, it is unknown how they entered the country. The video with this story also originally misquoted White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson. She said, “America is safer with them out of our country,” not “America is safer without them.”

Correction, Nov. 24, 2025: In discussing whether victims of crime register for the Louisiana Victim Outreach Program, this story originally mistakenly said that many victims are aware of the program. Many of them are unaware of it.

Correction, Aug. 14, 2025: This story originally misstated the extent of state budget cuts due to a veto by Gov. Mike Dunleavy. The budget includes enough money to pay for the state share of the top three maintenance projects; in addition, the state education department said another fund could pay for two of the 17 construction projects requested by school districts, including a wastewater system for a new school in the village of Mertarvik. It is not the case that the cuts didn’t leave enough money for the top three maintenance projects or any of the 17 construction projects, including the wastewater system in Mertarvik.

Correction, Aug. 13, 2025: This story originally misstated who took a 4-month-old Wisconsin boy to the hospital and where he died. His father drove him to the hospital and the boy was then airlifted to another hospital, where he died; he was not driven by his parents to a hospital where he later died. The story also referred imprecisely to a judge’s determination in the case. Dr. Nancy Harper testified in a hearing, but the judge didn’t rule on whether there was abuse. It was not a case where Harper “concluded there was abuse but courts or juries determined otherwise.”

Correction, Aug. 1, 2025: This story originally misstated the district that Alaska Senate Majority Leader Cathy Giessel represents. She represents part of Anchorage, not Fairbanks.

Correction, July 25, 2025: This story originally included a quote from Jay Famiglietti characterizing Arizona’s water supply as facing total depletion by the end of the century.

The quote has been adjusted to reflect Famiglietti’s view that Arizona’s water supply will be diminished but may not disappear.

Correction, June 27, 2025: A call for tips at the top of this story originally misstated the extent of the connection between two companies. It is not clear if Harpeth Financial owns Action 247. The nature of the ownership of Action 247, which shares executives and addresses with Advance Financial, is not made public in Tennessee public documents, and leadership in all three entities refused to answer questions about who in fact owns the sportsbook.

Correction, June 11, 2025: This story originally misidentified Tacoma as belonging to the same Washington state county as Seattle. Seattle and Tacoma are in different counties.

Correction, May 16, 2025: This story originally misstated how much time elapsed between Genaro García Luna’s indictment and his conviction. They were five years apart, not three.

Correction, May 8, 2025: This story originally misidentified two federal agencies. They are the Institute of Museum and Library Services, not the Institute for Museum and Library Services, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., not the Federal Deposit Insurance Commission.

Correction, Jan. 30, 2025: This story inaccurately described the effort Tina Stevens spent 1,000 hours on. It took her that long to update her products on Odyssey’s online marketplace, not to build a separate website required by Odyssey.

This story has also been updated to include additional comment from Odyssey.

Correction, Jan. 23, 2025: A photo caption with this story originally misidentified a dam. It is the Detroit Dam on the North Santiam River, not the Lookout Point Dam on the Middle Fork of the Willamette River.

Correction, Jan. 23, 2025: This story originally included a photograph whose caption misidentified a dam. It was an image of the Detroit Dam, not the Lookout Point Dam.

Correction, Jan. 22, 2025: This story originally misidentified the owner of an industrial plant near Sulphur, Louisiana. That plant is owned by Phillips 66, which was spun off from ConocoPhillips; it is not owned by ConocoPhillips.
