- BREAKING: Lifesaving medication for postpartum hemorrhaging is being pulled off emergency carts because of new Louisiana law reclassifying misoprostol as a controlled dangerous substance. My first @pulitzercenter StoryReach article for @IlluminatorLA
- There are some stories that you know will stay with you for a very long time, and this is one of them. Had the honor of profiling these five women who have been warning about AI risks before you'd ever heard of ChatGPT. My latest for @RollingStone
- I spoke w/@AnnaKendrick47 about the pain & confusion of emotional abuse, how deeply it makes you question yourself. Kendrick's new film #alicedarling is a rare, nuanced portrait that will feel heartbreakingly familiar for survivors and their loved ones
- Replying to @lorenaoneilA rural physician I spoke with hadn't even heard misoprostol was being reclassified. "What? That's death!" she said when I told her about the cart removal. She said pharmacies have already been "pushing back" when she prescribed the medication for miscarriages
- Replying to @lorenaoneil50 doctors signed a letter to the Louisiana Department of Health and Surgeon General Ralph Abraham asking for additional guidance, specifically “how to ensure [misoprostol] will be readily and quickly available in commonly used obstetric hemorrhage carts.”
- Replying to @lorenaoneil“We’re trying to fix something that is not broken and that is absolutely safe,” said Dr. Stacey Holman, calling the law "an unnecessary barrier"

- Replying to @lorenaoneilA reminder that doctors sounded the alarm about the reclassification of misoprostol and mifepristone back before the bill became law:
- Replying to @lorenaoneilMore than 200 doctors signed a letter begging lawmakers to reconsider:
- I sat down with @AOC to talk about her experience surviving deepfake AI abuse and how strongly she feels that this issue goes far beyond sexually-explicit images. @RollingStone rollingstone.com/culture/cultur…
- Replying to @lorenaoneilBy the time the bill got to the state senate it had national attention, with VP Kamala Harris weighing in:
- Are Tedbecca endgame? I spoke with these #TedLasso sleuths and superfans who rewatch episodes, study Easter eggs, and fully believe Ted and Rebecca are soulmates latimes.com/entertainment-… @latimes
- When you texted that my story was "misguided and misleading" I asked you to detail how & you refused to answer. Never once did I report misoprostol can no longer be prescribed. Doctors using this drug daily are worried about how a DELAY in access will endanger hemorrhaging women
