Working on a write-up for this, but if you want to see the dank, dark interworkings of my brain and how I track down hard-to-find FBI files, this is the process. It’s tricky to start, but something all of us can do, so I don’t want to keep these tips and tricks to myself. And if you work for the U.S. Congress, in the words of the great Ron Burgundy Thank you Amy Gabrielle , Jamie Lee , the real pa...

Some updates about the faux employment/school history for Epstein, and how he faked his way into the Dalton School and Bear Stearns, thanks to some folks who probably helped him do so. If you want to find these documents, search “EFTA00187050” in the DOJ Epstein Files, and you’ll find a 59-page document that includes college transcripts, applications, and background checks. Thank you Noble Blend ,...

Thank you all for your patience while I do a little offline writing (sneaky, sneaky) and some check-ins!

It’s Tuesday, so what the hell, let’s name some (alleged) Epstein co-conspirators and social hangout buddies. These were pulled from an unredacted list in the Unknown Survivor’s Journal, which you can read, decoded, below. These are allegations and have not been proven in a court of law. Parts 2, 3, and 4, are linked to the bottom of the article, as well as Zev Shalev ’s analysis of each. You can...

A few updates on Trump’s ban on the free press , including CNN, MSNOW, and Politico.

For updates on Katie Phang’s lawsuit against the DOJ, please visit Katie Phang v. Todd Blanch and scroll to the bottom for the most recent updat...

This is probably one of my favorite interviews so far. I read Waj’s book, Go Back to Where You Came From: And Other Helpful Recommendations on How to Become an American , and I had a lot of questions about what life looked like for Muslim families post-9/11 in U.S., back then, and now. But also, this was a chance to hear Waj’s story a little bit more, and things he’s not talked about often on Subs...

Kait and I have walked what’s felt like a very long road together, showing up out of nowhere, and taking on these damn files.
