NEW: A year and a half after the Department of Agriculture lowered nutritional standards for meals provided to school children, American Oversight is suing the agency to force the release of documents that might reveal industry influence over the decision: americanoversight.org/new-lawsuit-se…
USDA Secretary Sonny Perdue announced in May 2017 that his department would scale back Obama-era nutritional standards for school lunches. We filed FOIAs to find out if this decision was influenced by food industry groups: americanoversight.org/document/foia-…
In 2017, USDA official Rebeckah Adcock, a former lobbyist for pesticide industry trade group CropLife America, met with Croplife in violation of her ethics agreement. We're also suing for her emails: americanoversight.org/document/foia-…

NEW: DOD claims they have no records of Acting Defense Secretary Shanahan's prepared talking points from his 2017 confirmation hearing, despite video showing him consulting notes: americanoversight.org/where-are-the-…
We appealed DOD's response in February, but the office of the secretary has already claimed that it searched again and still came up empty-handed: americanoversight.org/document/no-re…
We plan to appeal the decision again, and to continue investigating Shanahan's ties to Boeing: americanoversight.org/investigating-…

NEW: We obtained Ben Carson’s 2017 calendars, which show that he took several Fridays off to go to his Florida mansion and that senior staff only met once a week: nbcnews.com/politics/white…
We had to sue to obtain Carson’s calendars — but in the documents HUD released, the appointments are out of sequence, making it hard to piece together Carson’s daily schedule: americanoversight.org/document/hud-s…
This isn't the first time HUD has had transparency issues. @ProPublica reported that during the 35-day government shutdown, HUD's system for processing FOIA requests lapsed — delaying requests even more: propublica.org/article/hud-sy…

Rep. Engel and Sen. Menendez wrote to Secretary of State Pompeo to demand the release of records related to the State Department's reported political retaliation against career employees. The list of documents includes records we requested in our lawsuit: foreignaffairs.house.gov/press-releases…
We've been investigating reported efforts to purge and retaliate against employees perceived to be disloyal to @realdonaldtrump, and have sued the State Department for records: americanoversight.org/american-overs…

I attended a Christian university for 3 years. I didn't want to. My conservative family told me it was my only viable option since they wouldn't help financially at a public school. My Calculus prof led praise & worship at the start of almost every class. #ExposeChristianSchools
I had to sign a contract agreeing to not use tobacco products, not drink, not dance, not play M-rated games, not watch R-rated movies (except those on the approved list, which included The Passion of the Christ), not engage in homosexual behavior, and not have premarital sex.
I had to take Old and New Testament classes and attend chapel 3 times a week. If I missed chapel, I had to make it up through community service. I never took a science class b/c I was afraid of what they might try to teach. I was expected to attend church, but that wasn't tracked

When the #NSA discovered that #Iran may have been buying computer chips from the #UnitedStates routing them through a U.S. ally
&
Potentially supplying them to detonate #bombs against U.S. forces in Iraq & #Afghanistan
It credited so-called economic intelligence with the find.
The solution wasn't a death blow delivered by the #military but rather a new regulation on the export of certain #technologies via the #CommerceDepartment which the #NSA said would end up “saving #American & coalition lives.”

I have this "thing". It really bothers me when the people, who are supposed to be served by their representatives over donor money, have documents withheld for a SCOTUS appointment.

So - stay tuned for a big Kavanaugh document dump.

Ok, @MA_Senate budget tweeting thread is going to be spotty today, but here's a few things:
$30/pupil minimum increases
$40/decile on the low income rate #MAEdu
There is BOTH a regional district budget review commission AND a local contribution review commission (the Senate is really opening some cans of worms there!)
There is NOT #FBRC language, so it looks as though @MA_Senate is putting all of its eggs in this basket today.

(sorry, getting carried away on the animal metaphors)
