Tremendous journalism (including the goofy bits about the police eating cookies and the inability to pick locks) all made possible by pro bono litigation by @rcfp.org

Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

SCOOP β€” Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.

My report:

I would trust Jack Jenkins and RNS a lot more than random social media shares that are un(der)sourced with first-hand witnesses.

One was a longshoreman who served in WWII and was a prisoner of war in Nazi Germany. The other owned a children’s clothing store. Both died before I was born. Lifespans were short for men of that era.

RCFP expands free legal support to local newsrooms in Gulf states and upper Midwest Expansion nearly doubles the Local Legal Initiative, building on six years of success supporting local journalism

πŸŽ‰ Big news for local news: @rcfp.org is expanding our Local Legal Initiative to Louisiana, Mississippi, Michigan, and Minnesota!

This nearly doubles the size of the LLI, adding four in-state attorneys who will provide legal help to journalists pursuing ambitious stories in their communities.

Undergrad dropouts I’d say. If you live in DC you’ve seen Hillsdale advertisements in the Metro, too.

Well, it pissed off millions of its core customers when it turned its back on inclusion and diversity, so I'm not sure freshly baked bread will resolve that problem.

This is a bad and confusing typo: "Her remarks refer to widespread claims that Muslims in Iran are converting to Islam in droves."

Presumably, you mean, "converting from Islam to Christianity"?

As someone who attended a graduate school of diplomacy, this holds up β€”Β you name assholes to be ambassadors to countries you hate and want to offend, in this case, the democratic West. (You name competent professionals to serve as ambassadors to countries you care about, in this case, autocracies.)

The Guardian: Most immigrants targeted for deportation in 2025 had no criminal history, data reveal The data, which The Guardian obtained with free legal support from RCFP attorneys, undercuts the government’s claim that it is targeting β€œdangerous criminals.”

A new @theguardian.com analysis of ICE records reveals that most people targeted for deportation for the first time in 2025 have no criminal history.

The news outlet’s reporting is based on data it obtained through a FOIA lawsuit with free legal support from @rcfp.org attorneys.
