First admission I've seen of an agency (DC Dept of General Services) using AI to deny a FOIA. In this case, it was in two pretty clearly AI-written emails wrongly (IMO) denying The Post's clear cut fee status. And is it worrying that gov employees are using personal AI tools?

With the NYT, I started fighting in court in 2014 for records from John Durham's investigation of the CIA's post-9/11 torture program. A partial victory at SDNY was overturned by the 2nd Circuit. In 2022, after FOIA law changed, we filed another lawsuit and tried again. /1

I wanted to know how much EPA spent on admin leave after 1000s were paid not to work, often for months So I filed a #FOIA —> EPA denied me —> I appealed —> I won And EPA spent almost $200M on leave Many never returned to work #FOIA4eva

For years, conservative groups hunted for career feds they credit with frustrating Trump's policy goals One Trump-aligned think tank offered to expose EPA staff critical of the president to Zeldin, per an email I got under #FOIA #FOIA4eva

I submitted a FOIA last year for all communications between DoD staffers and Fox News staffers regarding Will Cain's lengthy interview with Pete Hegseth early in his tenure. I finally got 31 pages back and about 98% of it is redacted, despite it being about silly media stuff

I looked into the origin story of Administrator Lee Zeldin's TRUMP EPA hat Emails I got under #FOIA show: - costs $17.50 - bought with personal funds - EPA wanted to give one to Trump - perhaps made by Trump's MAGA hat supplier #FOIA4eva

Over 3 years ago, I filed a #FOIA for docs from a then-EPA head Michael Regan-John Podesta lunch This month, I got a memo back — detailing worries from EPA officials that Biden's climate rules could be wiped out by GOP lawmakers #FOIA4eva

To see who from Zeldin's political world joined EPA, I sifted through records I got under #FOIA I found several aides with those ties at the agency — like a hedge fund CEO and a Trump donor, per his resume He also gave to Zeldin's campaigns #FOIA4eva

Last summer, EPA employees signed a dissent letter heavily critical of the Trump admin The agency's ethics office didn't see a problem — finding "no ethics concern" — in emails I got under #FOIA EPA later suspended or fired those on the letter #FOIA4eva

Stray thought: I never find myself seeking or needing guidance on whether a given page has been intentionally left blank. But I guess it's reassuring when all doubt is removed.

Today’s news on Trump’s EPA revoking the climate endangerment finding is the latest in a long-running battle going way back to the Bush era. My 09 reporting via #Foia uncovered that document. https://t.co/l5XrT1LadQ

NEW: Remember when Trump rambled on at last month's debate about how he’d told somebody named “Abdul” that the Taliban had to stop killing US soldiers & he essentially threatened “Abdul” by sending him a photo of his own house? I FOIA'd that. GLOMAR'd https://t.co/g4Z5forKFg
