ICE is running a physical war powered by data. Any info the US govt has is fair game, now including Medicaid.

John Oliver is right. Secret donations to presidential libraries enable bribery, while public access to presidential records is at an all-time low.

Use our action center tool to tell Congress to close the secrecy loopholes and increase transparency. freedom.press/the-classifi...

In the first 100 days alone, the Trump administration has:

- Deleted 1000s of datasets
- Closed agencies’ FOIA offices
- Used disappearing messaging apps
- Mass-fired IGs

It’s hard to imagine what the next 1,361 days of the administration will hold.

The Trump administration claimed that the leak of this memo was so dangerous that it necessitated opening criminal investigations and creating new, stricter rules around leaks to the media.

We wanted to see if that was true — and it wasn’t.

A court recently ruled DOGE is likely covered by FOIA, demanding transparency on its secretive operations. But with appeals looming & records at risk of being destroyed, the fight for accountability is far from over.

Watch @laurenleharper.bsky.social explain.

Probably one of the most monumental achievements of human mathematics is the Classifi

We just launched The Classified Catalog — a tracker exposing how the Trump administration is burying public records and silencing agencies.

Watch @laurenleharper.bsky.social explain how this secrecy threatens democracy — and how we can fight back.

ICE said it found no records in response to our FOIA for body-worn camera footage from Operation Midway Blitz.

We’re pursuing our options to get to the bottom of it — and send ICE a clear message: It's not the secret police or exempt from accountability.
