Good Trouble:
Today’s Good Trouble has to do with my lawsuit against DOGE for failing to respond to my FOIA requests. It would help me out tremendously if you could send a short, polite, one sentence email to [email protected] and say, please make it possible to submit electronic FOIA requests to the U.S. DOGE Service through FOIA.gov.

Federal workers - feel free to email me at [email protected] and let me know what you’re going to do, or just vent. I’m always here to listen.
