NEW: As Trump vows to eliminate birthright citizenship, we go inside the obscure "birth tourism" industry sending what could be thousands of women every year into the U.S. to birth to their children and secure for them U.S. citizenship.

The PCC wants him dead. The prosecutor now lives behind a security blanket that rivals that of a Brazilian president, erasing any semblance of a normal life. I spent week's inside Lincoln Gakiya's bunker to understand how he and his family survives a stress few can understand.

The plot to undo Brazilian democracy was only foiled not because Bolsonaro was no longer interested, the police said. But because of factors beyond his control, namely, senior military leaders didn't want to follow through on his plan.

In 2022, my friend Dom Phillips was murdered and his body dismembered in a shocking act of violence that still haunt all who knew him. Police now say they have finally solved who killed him and Brazilian activist Bruno Pereira and why. It was revenge.

I know how hard each Post journalist works to get it right. We sweat over every fact and believe to our core in the mission of seeking truth, holding the powerful to account, giving a voice to those without. And it's such a shame that fewer will now read that important work.

I know few will listen to this. I know people who hate the Post will celebrate this. But I've poured my heart into this paper for 10 years. I've worked the nightshift. Faced legal threats. Put my life at risk investigating wrongdoing. And this news just makes me so profoundly sad

So much work went into this story, and now, finally, it's out. Our investigation into the carbon credit bonanza in the Amazon rainforest -- where companies are reaping a fortune off land they have no right to -- leading today's Washington Post.

Worse, when projects claim to be protecting lands *that are already protected,* they contribute next to nothing in the fight against climate change. “The victim is the planet,” we were told. “And all of humanity because we’re not reducing emissions, but get to pretend we are.”.

The projects have generated hundreds of millions. But almost none of it has gone to those who live on the land and those who actually protect the forest. “They robbed from us,” one river person told us.

This isn’t just a few of the project, we have found. This is *most* of the projects. The credits sold by them have gone to some of the world’s biggest companies: Netflix, Air France, Delta Air Lines, Salesforce, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Airbnb, Takeda Pharmaceutical Co., Boeing.

Much of the Amazon is shielded behind green wall of publicly-protected lands. But in recent years, climate opportunists in pursuit of a financial commodity called carbon credits have increasingly launched projects that wrongfully claim those lands.
