#FOIA is under attack by @ENERGY. Backlogs are not good, but clearing them out by tossing requests not even 1 year old isn't the answer. Voice opposition by 9/15/25. https://t.co/GupqITJFSm

[Scott Amey @SAmeyJD]

.@ENERGY is proposing to close out #FOIAs filed before 10/1/2024, unless the requester reaches out to the agency. Notice will be provided to requesters, but this IS an effort to prevent information from getting to the public. https://t.co/GupqITJFSm

To be clear 90% of all this wouldn't be a problem if CONGRESS DID ITS JOB. Justice Jackson is right. This is an imperial executive embracing an imperial judiciary filling the void left by a feckless Congress.

While this ruling takes no clear position on the constitutionality of the admin's birthright citizenship EO, it's still dangerous.

Limiting ways people can be protected from authoritarianism facilitates the very trampling of the Constitution #SCOTUS has a duty to stop.

NEW: Stephen Miller has invested in between $100,001 and $250,000 of stock in Palantir, a tech company woven into the operations of ICE.

Miller isn't just legislating the abuse of immigrants. He's profiting off of it.

Authoritarianism 101

[Project On Government Oversight @POGOwatchdog]

🚨 The DOJ suing every federal judge in Maryland isn’t just unprecedented — it’s an attack on the independence of the courts.

This isn’t about process. It’s about punishing judges for rulings the administration doesn’t like. That’s authoritarianism 101. https://t.co/wgJyB1x7y1

Great investigation by @schwellenbach @POGOwatchdog

[Meryl Kornfield @MerylKornfield]

Stephen Miller has from $100,001 up to a quarter million dollars of stock in ICE contractor Palantir https://t.co/0jLrkDHspb

Thanks for uplifting the work of @POGOwatchdog

[Project On Government Oversight @POGOwatchdog]

This is unacceptable.

A senior Justice Department official openly talking about their plans to disobey court orders is a serious threat to our democracy. https://t.co/GVAW3125jy

Replacing nonpartisan civil servants with partisan yeasayers is dangerous.

Per POGO's @jdspielberger:

“This elevates loyalty to an individual president over the oath of office and the best interests of the public.” https://t.co/9XzMRvbHlN

🎉"Bad Watchdog" just won a podcasting award from the Society for Features Journalism! @WeAreSFJ wrote "the series feels essential given the current news about immigration and deportation" and "good watchdog reporting like this never goes out of style"😊https://t.co/vKkw0olBjR

[National Security Archive @NSArchive]

To celebrate #EarthDay, the National Security Archive last year published a set of records revealing how high-level Nixon officials debated climate change and the impacts of sea-level rise, extreme temps, and fossil fuel consumption. Click here to read: https://t.co/XXCx7DireF

President Donald Trump has implemented a series of actions and policies that have further consolidated power in the presidency.

And Congress has just let this happen.

This is a big mistake — Congress must claw back its power from the executive branch. https://t.co/3fr2GecqZM

Isabella gave her all to serve her country—until she was illegally, unjustly fired.

Please listen to her story. I am fighting for Isabella and for federal workers across the country—these firings cannot stand.

[Keith Rutter @KWRutter]

@TammieHache Good luck! Holding you in our hearts.

As DOGE seeks confidential tax data, the IRS's top lawyer "will be replaced by Andrew De Mello," the Post reports

De Mello was ensnared in a federal probe focused on misconduct by DHS inspector general Joseph V. Cuffari. Details in the 🧵

A big congrats to POGO's René Kladzyk for receiving an honorable mention in the @SABEW Best in Business Awards. Check out the excellent investigation on how soldiers have paid the price for the Pentagon's decision to privatize military housing https://t.co/QNMFgkQic2

BREAKING: Remarkable work by @schwellenbach (again)

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

There were howls of protest and denial from the GOP any time we pointed out that Republicans want to cut Social Security.

Now the most powerful official in the White House goes on TV and calls it "the big one to eliminate."
