Oversight doesn't stop even when parts of the government are closed. See what we've been working on this week: americanoversight.org/news-roundup-t…
The administration has been making inaccurate and misleading statements about terrorists at the southern border. We submitted FOIAs to find out more: americanoversight.org/documents?fwp_…
In 2009, DHS dismantled its Extremism and Radicalization Branch, which scrutinized right-wing extremism. In the past decade, right-wing domestic terrorism has increased, and we want to know more: americanoversight.org/document/respo…

We obtained DHS emails discussing the @ALT_uscis Twitter account, which criticized the administration's immigration policy. CBP attempted to force Twitter to reveal the account owner's identity: americanoversight.org/document/respo…
The documents show confusion over why the summons was issued. One email shows that USCIS's acting deputy director didn't know CBP was pursuing the identity of the account owner: americanoversight.org/document/respo…
DHS seemed unaware of the decision to try to unmask the account. One email says, "Not sure why CBP is involved." documentcloud.org/documents/4107…

After working at Boeing for three decades, Acting Defense Secretary Shanahan has reportedly been promoting his former employer at the Pentagon. We're investigating: americanoversight.org/investigating-…
We filed 7 FOIAs to DOD to find out if Shanahan has been communicating with his former employer to determine whether Boeing has had undue influence at the department: americanoversight.org/documents?fwp_…
During his confirmation, Shanahan divested from his Boeing assets and recused himself from Boeing-related matters, but there's still the possibility of ethical misconduct — especially in light of Boeing’s $3.9 billion Air Force One contract: americanoversight.org/investigating-…

Our report found that in the nearly two years before the shutdown over Trump's wall, the administration didn't just fail to secure funding — it never accurately determined the cost of building it: americanoversight.org/border-wall-in…
.@USGAO reported that the administration failed to account for how costs to build the wall would vary based on geographical differences: americanoversight.org/border-wall-in…
A report by House Democratic staff found that the wall could actually cost $70 billion. CBP's criticism of this estimate has been withheld: hsgac.senate.gov/border-wall-re…

Ok so now I'm going to explain why it's a good idea to have the federal judiciary have some institutional respect, even if the Branch itself is determined to burn it all away.

I'm basically reminding myself, mute as needed.
First, and this is a thing both ordinary humans and Article III tend to forget too often, much as The Police Are The Government, The Judges Are The Government, Too.
Everyone tends to put this fact in cold storage because courts offer means of redress against various acts and omissions by the government, or even between parts of the government over various acts and omissions.

Okay, gather round everyone. We need to talk. Big thread, sorry, but I would like you to read it.
My name’s Niall and I do the tweets here. (You probably know that already.) The discourse online has been in a bad shape lately (you probably know that too), and something’s about to go a bit wrong as a result.
You might have heard of the upcoming EU Copyright Directive? Lots of people have campaigned against it – smart people who care about net neutrality and freedom of speech. We’re campaigning for it. I’m gonna try to explain why:

More context for our horrific treatment of children at the border: childhood trauma can lead to an average decrease in life expectancy of 20 years [1].

Five months: 700 separations [2]
