Will Stancil tried to spread some really serious rumors about me and then deleted as soon as I confronted him on it directly. Really bad guy, folks.

We have reason to believe the next round of cuts at NARA will further gut the presidential libraries. Who knows what the future holds for the national declassification center. All told, the public will have fewer opportunities to dictate what information the government releases. This isn't right.

Despite his own privileged path to power, or perhaps because of it, the son of a Columbia University professor and a movie director is campaigning as a socialist intent on redistributing New York’s wealth.

This appears to be absolutely 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 entirely unnecessary. You already need to make an appt to conduct research at NARA II

This book is riveting and so, so infuriating. It follows 5 families in Atlanta who are struggling to remain housed and paints deeply compassionate portraits of each unit. It reads almost like a novel but is outstanding journalism

I picked Heater up and held her to my chest for like 2 minutes on a whim and she purred the entire time. I’m convinced it’s because she’s happy about Zohran.

ICE just denied a FOIA request that covered 2 weeks worth of records on the grounds that it was too broad (it's not and I'll appeal). It's a good reminder that, even if a search requires extensive effort, that is not enough to claim a request is overly-broad and agencies must search in good faith.

This unhinged threat comes on the heels of RFK closing FOIA offices and instructing agency components to delete previously public information. Sure sounds like a guy who is committed to radical transparency !
