Filed a FOIA request with DOJ for 1 time-sensitive document. Was granted expedited processing. A month went by. Crickets. Asked for estimated date of completion. Was told it would take 620 days. Unreal.

From Daniel Ellsberg to Edward Snowden, whistleblowers have led to some of the largest revelations in American history. On reddit AMA, FPF's Harlo Holmes and Kevin O'Gorman explained how the public can use modern tools to share information with the press. freedom.press/issues/reddit-…

WHAT IS KRISTI NOEM COVERING UP??? She's trying to rewrite the **law** permitting members of Congress to conduct oversight in her detention centers. ice.gov/doclib/detenti…

If you are a congressional staffer who has sent an email to "[email protected]" since June 1, 2025, and would like to talk, please reach out to me.

Can anyone at U.S. National Archives explain what’s happening here? Does research qualify as a “legitimate business need”? Can the general public still access NARA research rooms with an appropriate ID and research card?

This appears to be antithetical to the mission of the National Archives and a thinly-veiled attempt by the Trump administration to give it the authority to decide who gets to conduct research. It’s also unnecessary. You already need to make an appt to conduct research at NARA II

UPDATE: The notice has been removed from NARA's website. There is reason to believe this was a poorly-worded announcement RE a parking policy. Even if so, the swift and vocal reaction is exactly what's needed to show the that people care about, and pay attention to, NARA

This FOIA-based story came out a week after ICE issued new (illegal) guidance requiring members of congress to give 72 hours notice before visiting ICE detention centers. The link to the ICE guidance is now broken - but does that mean it was rescinded? ice.gov/doclib/detenti…

ICE appears to have rescinded guidance that illegally tried to hamper congressional oversight of detention facilities. If so, that’s a good thing. But FPF will continue to pursue our FOIA requests to uncover the information U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is trying to hide. freedom.press/the-classified…

Public should be able to sue the when the govt is willfully and unabashedly trying to hide its tracks. The Federal Records Act needs a private right of action. And we need an independent National Archives to ensure records schedules are being followed. washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/…

"The leak — and the official FOIA release — didn’t damage national security at all. It informed the public about one of the administration’s most pernicious lies to-date," Lauren Harper told The Intercept. theintercept.com/2025/06/30/tul…

RFK news: The Commanders invited the full DC Council for a dinner at Georgetown's ritzy Cafe Milano tonight, sources say. Still getting an exact headcount, but, assuming many CMs go, this is exactly the sort of thing open meetings laws would've once made difficult. No longer...

My latest NatlSecurityArchive piece is a 45-document deep dive tracing 25+ years of US intel agencies analyzing climate threats--from Arctic ice melt to global food, water, and migration risks. But the docs also reveal a deeply siloed approach to climate intel: nsarchive.gwu.edu/briefing-book/…

🧵 54 years ago today, the Supreme Court handed down a landmark decision in The New York Times Co. v. United States, and defended the First Amendment right of free press against prior restraint by the government. nytimes.com/2016/06/30/ins…

To understand how FOIA requests and public records can be used to fight government secrecy, we spoke to FOIA Nate📄, Michael Morisy, and Miranda Spivack. freedom.press/issues/use-pub…

This is what you get when you click on many of the links in Sen. Grassley's press release. Maybe the FBI will respond to my FOIA request so the public can actually see the basis for all the redactions in the links that do work.

Would love to see an estimate that the case would cost them $16mm+, given it would've been thrown out at the first opportunity — as any first year law student could see

Another thing to consider Ron Wyden is reforming the rules around "contributions to" presidential foundations.

Statement from Executive Editor Matt Murray: “For three decades, Ellen Nakashima has been one of the most careful, fair-minded, and highly regarded reporters covering national security. Reaching out to potential sources rather than relying solely on official government press

The government is putting more and more pressure on journalists reporting on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. We all must speak out against these chilling tactics. freedom.press/issues/ice-wan…
