The Espionage Act has been used for decades to target journalists and whistleblowers who expose wrongdoing.
Use our action center tool to tell lawmakers to pass the Daniel Ellsberg Press Freedom and Whistleblower Protection Act and reform the archaic law.

Great to have our new Report for America corps member join us at #IRE26. Looking forward to @CurtisBrodner covering housing and affordability for @jerseyvindy starting in mid July!
“They were abused first by Epstein, and then to some degree they were also abused by the the criminal justice system.” Great to hear @jkbjournalist talk about her work over the last decade at #IRE26.
🏅 Congratulations to Julie K. Brown, recipient of the 2026 Don Bolles Medal.
Brown was honored at #IRE26 for her fearless investigative reporting that exposed the special treatment given to Jeffrey Epstein and helped reopen a case that many believed would never see justice.
Her reporting changed the course of history, proving the power of relentless journalism to hold the powerful accountable and give a voice to those who have been ignored. Read more here: https://t.co/pxsHavZwjO
The Legislature gutted OPRA, and now agencies know it’s hard to sue them. I’m seeing law enforcement agencies acting like 10+ years of police transparency precedent doesn’t exist. We gotta get them back into compliance!
Proud to have filed this suit for @jerseyvindy!
Gov Sherrill is constantly talking about transparency.
So is NJGOP these days
Seems like time for a bipartisan transparency bill! Happy to help with ideas, but we need to fix OPRA and OPMA! They're both pretty worthless these days
82% of the public will LOVE it!
In 2024, the Leg said that it was okay to gut OPRA because they were giving agencies to put more docs online so OPRAs wouldn't even be needed. Has anyone seen proof it's happened? I haven't and I've been looking...
Here's @votebergen with a spirited dissent of naming a 'state nut' in NJ.
NJ's legislature has attempted to name 276 state symbols in the last 25 years. 14 Became law.
More on those, and the 3,232 ceremonial bills NJ has proposed this century:

What happened to the planned bus transitway from Secaucus to MetLife for the World Cup?
NJ Transit missed the deadline for the World Cup Transitway!
NJ Transit never announced the MISSED DEADLINE for the World Cup Transitway to the Meadowlands.
It was kept quiet.

“They got beat here, fair and square, and it just so happened that I ended up moving the piece from Politico to NYT Opinion due to a series of events that no one could have anticipated at the time that Ruemmler contacted me.” -- writer of NYT Opinion piece of Epstein enabler Kathy Ruemmler
The definition of getting "beat" in journalism isn't writing an ass-kissing profile.
Latest numbers on World Cup transit: About 26,000 people took @NJTRANSIT to and from today's World Cup. Notably, ~370 paid the $98 fare to leave the stadium after the match.
David Ellison won’t air criticism of himself, his company, or his buddy Trump.
This is bad for press freedom, bad for the public, and bad for Paramount.

I obtained the police body camera footage of the May 21st arrest of Jersey City parent Emily Pecot via an OPRA request.
"You don’t understand what’s happening here and you’re doing something very wrong right now and it’s going to look really bad for the police department.”
I’ve been working around the clock (still capable of all nighters!) for two weeks to get this lifted. Even temporary prior restraints violate the constitution, but the wheels of justice are too slow.
