“Look, we both know why you are here,” the agent told me... “It’s because of what you wrote online about the protests at Columbia University,” he said.

How My Reporting on the Columbia Protests Led to My Deportation
As an Australian who wrote about the demonstrations while on campus, I gave my phone a superficial clean before flying to the U.S. I underestimated what I was up against.

This week’s main story is about the juvenile justice system in the U.S., the facilities we are funneling so many children through, some other steps we can take to try to keep children safe, and of course some of our favorite Kidz Bop lyrics. Hey – HEY – some of those songs are good.

This week’s main story is about the med spa boom, how a lack of oversight in the industry is creating space for bad actors, and how consumers can try to protect themselves. It’s also about how you should not buy botox on Alibaba. You’d think that goes without saying but trust us, it doesn’t.

There are some extremely brave FOIA officers in the federal government - and this is a reminder that they often want to get the information out as badly as the public wants to read it.
In response to @freedom.press FOIA request, ODNI declassified & released an intel memo contradicting a key claim Trump made to invoke the Alien Enemies Act

Confirms reporting the Trump admin characterized as false & used to justify weakening limits on leak inquiries

Here's our segment on Axon, the company behind Tasers and police body cams, and the role they played in promoting "excited delirium," a now-discredited theory that was used to exonerate law enforcement after deaths in custody.

SignalGate has gotten a lot of attention.But an important point is being lost.

A strong argument can be made that the chat is a presidential record.

This would be the clearest proof yet that the White House isn’t appropriately saving its records (again).
The SignalGate problem nobody is talking about
The White House isn’t complying with the Presidential Records Act (again)
