Just Posted: We obtained calendars for two of Ryan Zinke's top aides -- which include previously undisclosed details of meetings Zinke himself attended: americanoversight.org/document/doi-c…
DOI staff calendars show Zinke met with Tom Spoehr, director of the Heritage Foundation's defense program to "follow up on reorg Brief assigned to Scott Cameron." documentcloud.org/documents/4502…
Zinke also met with Chuck Jones, the CEO of FirstEnergy. Less than a month later, FirstEnergy asked the administration to use its emergency powers to keep FirstEnergy's coal and nuclear plants running: documentcloud.org/documents/4502…

Tomorrow, House Democrats will begin oversight. We've already been filing FOIA requests and will sue to get the documents if the administration tries to stonewall Congress. See what we've filed so far: americanoversight.org/investigation/…
We filed a FOIA to find out if USDA senior official Rebeckah Adcock violated the terms of her ethics agreement by meeting with those associated with her former employer: americanoversight.org/documents?fwp_…
The EPA suppressed a report from the CDC on the health effects of perfluorinated compounds. We want to know if the chemical industry influenced this decision: americanoversight.org/documents?fwp_…

.@SecretaryZinke is leaving the administration one day before the the new Congress to avoid facing scrutiny. But just because he's leaving doesn't mean we're done investigating: americanoversight.org/our-ryan-zinke…
.@Interior recently classified uranium as a “critical mineral." We submitted a FOIA to find out if the the uranium mining industry influenced this decision — and what impact it could have on national monuments: americanoversight.org/documents?fwp_…
From putting a high school friend with no experience in charge of grants to giving a $300 million contract to restore power in Puerto Rico to a tiny company from his hometown, it's clear Zinke favored personal connection over experience: americanoversight.org/our-ryan-zinke…

Now that the House is investigating, Ben Carson could face real accountability for his son's participation in the Baltimore listening tour, retaliation against an employee who objected to his spending, and Armstrong Williams' role at the agency: motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
Ben Carson allegedly demoted an employee who objected when he tried to spend $31,000 on a dining set. Emails we obtained show she was frequently asked about exceeding the $5,000 limit on renovations: americanoversight.org/investigation/…
See our investigation into Ben Carson's leadership at HUD and his family's involvement at the agency: americanoversight.org/investigation/…

As @nedprice, @maddow, and others have alerted, something's afoot in VA: The Trump administration released the security clearance form of a Democrat running for Congress against a Trump ally. This is a major breach of the rule that these forms don't get released. What's going on?
SF-86 forms are what the government uses to vet people for high level national security jobs. They are extensive and full of the most private information about the applicant and many people in their lives (spouses, children, parents, friends).
Ordinarily, they are kept under lock and key. We know that because @weareoversight has tried multiple times to gain access to tiny portions of Trump administration security clearance forms to verify specific, non-classified details.

Cú Chulainn is believed to be an incarnation of the god #Lugh, who is also his father! His mother is the mortal Deichtine, sister of Conchobar mac Nessa, the King of #Ulster who ruled from #NavanFort near #Armagh. #CúChulainn #Irishmyths #Irishlegends #FolkloreThursday
Born Sétanta, Cú Chulainn gained his name as a child, after killing Culann's fierce guard-dog in self-defence & offered to take its place until a replacement could be reared! Used a standing stone or by driving a sliotar down its throat with his hurley! #FolkloreThursday
Cathbad the druid announced one day that anyone who drew arms would have everlasting fame! So Cú Chulainn only 7 years old, asked for arms! But Cathbad grieved because he had not finished his prophecy-the warrior who took arms that day would have a short life! #FolkloreThursday

2."CA assigned dozens of non-U.S. citizens to provide campaign strategy and messaging advice to ­GOP candidates in 2014, according to three former workers for the data firm, even as an attorney warned executives to abide by U.S. laws limiting foreign involvement in elections."
3. The above is the lead for WaPo scoop here. It goes on: "The effort was designed to present the newly created company, whose parent, SCL Group, was based in London, as “an American brand” that would appeal to U.S. political clients,".
