SCOOP! We obtained 14+ hours of internal Project 2025 training videos. Joint @itsdocumented and @Propublica investigation. #Project2025 propublica.org/article/insid…
Our investigation with the @GuardianUS is now out on the @ItsDocumented substack. Riley Messer and Rachel Leingang on the industry-funded campaign paying influencers to counter MAHA, and the internal playbook behind it: theshakedown.documented.org/…
Our Tweet Ended Kathleen Sgamma’s Bid to Lead Trump Public Lands Agency theshakedown.documented.net/…
🚨 Kathleen Sgamma just withdrew her nomination to lead BLM—right before her Senate hearing. Did the recently unearthed memo exposing her past criticism of Trump's election denial play a role?
🧵1/ Kathleen Sgamma, the @realDonaldTrump pick to lead @BLMNational, privately wrote she was "disgusted" by Trump "spreading misinformation" on Jan. 6 and "dishonoring the vote of the People," per a memo to oil execs obtained by @ItsDocumented. Her Senate hearing is Thursday.

🧵5/ Sgamma appears to have deleted or changed the name of her old Twitter account, then created a new one in Sept. 2023 using the old handle. Her old accont appears to now be here: @Wallstmemesteam
🧵6/ A snapshot from Feb. 2021 shows Sgamma’s old account had 4,360 tweets and followed 797 accounts. Her new account (started Sept. 2023) now has just 146 visible tweets and follows only 276 accounts.
🧵7/ Environmental groups strongly oppose Sgamma. Taylor McKinnon @publiccarbon of the Center for Biological Diversity @CenterForBioDiv called her nomination an "unmitigated disaster," citing her "breathtaking disdain" for protecting public lands.
🧵3/ At @BLMNational, Sgamma would oversee 246M acres of public land. She previously argued there's "too much federal ownership," raising alarm she'll seek large-scale privatization—benefiting oil & gas firms and worsening climate change. (via @JamesCTobias & @c_m_dangelo)
🧵4/ I checked Sgamma’s Twitter account (@KathleenSgamma) to see what else she said publicly about Trump right after Jan. 6, but found nothing...

"Musk-Linked Group Offered $5m for Proof of Voter Fraud – and Came up With Nothing." Check out this great new investigative piece by my colleagues @brendan_fischer and Emma Steiner for @GuardianUS theguardian.com/us-news/2025…
The Heritage Foundation - the lead org behind Project 2025 - is now promoting new model state legislation that would criminalize orgs providing legal or financial assistance to people without legal status to be in the US. Under the act, any org found guilty would lose all state and city licenses to operate. #immigrationlaws #Project2025

My new op-ed in @RollingStone:
Elon Musk’s stunning political influence offers a stark example of how the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision—which turns 15 this week—enabled billionaires to wield disproportionate power over policy and governance.
