If they’re so certain, I wonder why they won’t respond to my FOIA requests for the intelligence assessments on these attacks 🤔
Hey @USNavy why haven't you fulfilled my FOIA for the preliminary intelligence assessment regarding Iran's alleged attack on Saudi oil tankers? The administration seems pretty certain of what happened and has said has much publicly so why not just release the report?
If anyone in Fifth Fleet knows about this, please Signal me at 202-510-1268

ICE quietly stopped updating its official “List of Deaths in ICE Custody” page, which had published deaths since the agency’s inception in 2003.

My latest for @tytinvestigates

Of the ICE deaths included that took place during the Trump admin, most do not list a final cause of death (they're all from 2017!)

"With the vast amounts spent so far on the aircraft, the United States could have worked wonders, including providing every homeless person in the U.S. a $600,000 home."

During the trial of a man charged with aiding undocumented migrants, the prosecutor accused him of doing almost verbatim what the Bible calls on Christians to do
If you have any tips about this case, you can reach me securely via Signal at 202-510-1268
The jury refused to convict him but the US Attorney may call for a retrial.

Let them know what you think

NEW from @a_cormier_ & me: DOJ responds to my/@BuzzFeedNews/@EPICprivacy's #FOIA lawsuit to unredact Mueller report. Govt says nothing else can be disclosed. But in a declaration, DOJ provided the MOST DETAILED info to date abt what's behind the black ink
buzzfeednews.com/article/jasonl…
@a_cormier_ @BuzzFeedNews @EPICprivacy I have filed more than three dozen #FOIA requests with DOJ, FBI, NSA and @BuzzFeedNews I have filed 4 separate lawsuits to obtain all of the underlying documents that were used by Mueller to draft his report. Support our transparency efforts

support.buzzfeednews.com
@a_cormier_ @BuzzFeedNews @EPICprivacy DOJ disclosed that some of the redacted portions of Mueller's report concern “detailed explanations of the basis for the decisions made by the Special Counsel to pursue indictments in some instances, and not to pursue charges in others.”

#USNavy's F-35 is Nowhere Near Combat-Ready, Watchdog Group says that the Navy's F-35 Joint Strike Fighter isn't ready for combat, even though the service signed off on the aircraft’s initial operating capability status last month. military.com/dodbuzz/2019/0…
The non-profit Project on Government Oversight said the F-35C variant continues to dramatically underperform in crucial areas including availability & reliability, cyber-vulnerability testing & life-expectancy testing, according to a recent analysis conducted by the organization.
"The Navy is pushing ahead with the F-35 in spite of evidence that its not ready for combat & could put missions & troops at risk. At the same time the Pentagon's 2018 annual operational testing report shows that the entire F-35 program is not ready to face current/future threats

#USNavy’s revolutionary Sea Hunter drone ship being tested out of Pearl Harbor 👍💪🇺🇸💪👍 stripes.com/news/navy-s-re…
DARPA has described the Sea Hunter as “the first of what could ultimately become an entirely new class of ocean-going vessel able to traverse thousands of kilometers over open seas for months at a time, without a single crew member aboard.”
The 132-foot robotic ship has a range of 10,000 nautical miles at 14 mph. Work said the prototype cost $23 million to produce and that it would cost about $15,000 to $20,000 per day to operate this type of drone ship once several of them are in the Navy’s fleet.

1/ In this week’s episode: Officials from @NatlParkService heaped pressure on scientist @Dr_Caffrey to get her to remove all mentions of manmade climate change from a trailblazing scientific report.

It’s part of a larger pattern. revealnews.org/episodes/silen…
2/ Maria Caffrey, a University of Colorado researcher under contract with the @NatlParkService, spent years calculating how much flooding 118 national parks should expect from sea level rise and storm surge.
3/ But after @realdonaldTrump took office, the release of Caffrey’s research was stalled. Officials began trying to censor it.

We reported that first, in April 2018: revealnews.org/article/wipeou…

#FOIA response or awful Christmas sweater?
(It's a trick question, because the answer doesn't matter. Either would contribute equally to your understanding of what the government is doing.)
Trying to decide whether this is a better or worse #FOIA metaphor than the fact that an agency just mailed me a blank DVD.

#FOIA: "The federal government has issued more than three dozen permits allowing hunters to import lion trophies from two African nations since 2016, according to copies of the applications obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request."

huffingtonpost.com/entry/lion-tro…
"While the FWS [Fish & Wildlife Service] used to make its determinations about animal trophy permits public, new guidelines mandate interested parties file Freedom of Information Act requests to see the details of each application"
More info about who got those permits is here:

friendsofanimals.org/news/u-s-hunte…

"The permits show that the current administration, not only has loosened restrictions on lion hunting, but is rewarding supporters."
