Our vision is coming true.
Step 1: Make the data.
Step 2: A thousand startups bloom.
Step 3: Fairer access to the law.
This article validates the work we and others have been doing for decades. This is why the legal space is blowing up. (It’s the data.)

This site uses "AI clean rooms" to bypass copyright to "liberate" open source projects of the need to credit or support open source projects. It's satire, but it also works and is something that the open source community is already dealing with: www.404media.co/this-ai-tool...
1. Boy, Amazon is in a heap of trouble. Evidence made public yesterday by California AG @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov shows blatant price fixing. And there are so many examples. Here's Amazon scheming with a pet food supplier to get Chewy to raise its prices.
Great find: Al-Fassel is literally hosting a hi-res CENTCOM logo for some reason
"Asked to articulate the difference between his group’s working with the Justice Department and the groups criticized in the report for working with the department during the Biden administration, Mize started to say, 'We’re not targeting pro-abor- ...' but then trailed off."
NEW: Justice Sotomayor statement: "At a recent appearance at the University of Kansas School of Law, I referred to a disagreement with one of my colleagues in a prior case, but I made remarks that were inappropriate. I regret my hurtful comments. I have apologized to my colleague."
FRONTLINE and ProPublica investigate the violence, protests and arrests stemming from the federal immigration sweeps across the country. "Caught in the Crackdown" premieres tonight on PBS and online.
NEW: “Arrest as many people that touch you as you want to," Gregory Bovino told Border Patrol officers in 2025.
But a review of hundreds of such arrests shows that charges brought against protesters and bystanders repeatedly fell apart under scrutiny.

The Trump administration has fired more than 100 immigration judges and hired more than 100 new judges to replace those them. I analyzed court data and found that while fired judges granted asylum 46 percent of the time under this administration, their replacements are granting asylum in 6 percent.
NEW: The FBI was able to forensically extract copies of incoming Signal messages from a defendant’s iPhone, even after the app was deleted, because copies of the content were saved in the device’s push notification database, multiple people present for FBI testimony in a trial told 404 Media.

"I’ve read a lot of campaign finance reports over 10 years of writing about money in politics. They have never been less helpful. That is what motivated the investigation I published last week, exploring the totally underappreciated explosion in “gray money” — contributions to super PACs from dark-money nonprofits that do not have to disclose their donors. This is one of the defining trends in campaign finance, and I wanted to see whether my frustration with disclosure deadlines was borne out in the data. The question: How much of the money flowing into the political system is ultimately untraceable? Is it a lot, or am I going crazy? Dear reader, I am not going crazy. My colleague Steven Rich and I found that almost one of every five dollars donated to super PACs in the 2024 election cycle came from organizations that don’t disclose their donors. Back in the 2012 cycle, only one of every 100 dollars given to super PACs was similarly “gray.”"

A DOJ lawyer told a judge in Rhode Island that voter rolls data the agency has collected from states was being kept separate, and no analysis was being done to identify voting irregularities.
That wasn't true....

Shortly after AG Bondi’s confirmation, the DOJ declined to prosecute more criminal cases in a single month than any other going back to at least 2004.
NEW: The government tells Americans to use VPNs to protect their privacy. The government also automatically presumes communications of unknown origin are foreign. Foreign communications don't require a warrant to wiretap.
Lawmakers who've done the math want answers.

A list of national reporters for ProPublica on the news organization's staff page
Screenshot of the bio page for ProPublica reporter Robert Faturechi. Below a "Contact Me" button, a highlighted pop-up window shows his email (Robert.Faturechi@propublica.org), Signal handle (rfatruechi.40), and phone number (917-512-0216).
🚨 We've seen instances of people impersonating ProPublica reporters on Signal and over email.
Reminder: Our reporters have their Signal handles listed on their bio pages. They will always have an active @propublica.org email address.

NEW: Over the past year, we've been collecting thousands of financial disclosure documents from across the Trump administration. Now we're making them searchable. Look up names, assets, former employers across 1,500+ Trump appointees and 3,000+ ethics documents.
