Unlike previous Archivists, Wilson has no experience as an archivist or librarian at the state or federal level, no experience in preserving public records in the military, no experience serving at NARA, a presidential library, or @LibraryCongress.

This @POTUS’ nominee to be the 12th Archivist does not have the demonstrated experience, vision, or values necessary to lead @USNatArchives in the 21st century.

An explosive Judiciary Democrats analysis exposes the staggering cost of Trump’s corrupt pardon spree: more than $1.3 BILLION stolen away from crime victims and injured taxpayers. Not only is Trump pardoning tax cheats, drug traffickers, and corporate scammers, he’s wiping out the debts these grifters owe to their victims—and to society. The first convicted felon fraudster in the White House, Trump is proving white-collar crime does pay in his America. democrats-judiciary.house.gov/media-center/p…

Great timing for a disclosure during #SunshineWeek, @BrendanCarrFCC! Looks like the @FCC has posted these files to its FOIA reading room: fcc.gov/general/freedo… Has the agency adopted a “release to one, release to all”policy for all FOIA disclosures under your leadership?

The FCC just released a massive FOIA dump of almost 2,000 pages on the Jimmy Kimmel controversy. This includes internal emails, press outreach, and public reaction. Dive into the full archive now online: theblackvault.com/documentarchiv…

@nikitabier Summaries of articles? Feature suggestion: roll out a pithy description of an article in 140 characters or less, with a link to the full piece & images that don’t count towards the total? You could call it a tweet. Incent news media to share trustworthy posts. Could have legs.

“I’m not putting troops anywhere”—@POTUS Trump said today “If I did, I wouldn’t tell you.” This is not even close to the “most transparent administration” in peace time, much less in war.
Alexander B. Howard@digiphile

@CIADirector President Trump is not disclosing his taxes returns or White House visitor logs. e-pluribusunum.org/2025/04/30/why… OMB took down the spending website Congress ordered. FOIA officers have been fired across agencies. Scientists & doctors have been gagged. That’s not transparency.

“Contrary to his false claims about overseeing the ‘most transparent Administration in history’, @POTUS Trump has deliberately weakened the ability of agencies to respond to requests for information by eliminating employees responsible for responding to FOIA requests.”— @SenatorDurbin

@AGOWA Have you published them all online on a .gov website as open data, so that everyone can benefit from public access to public records? Release to one, release to all is a good policy for the 21st century. #SunshineWeek #OpenGov

National #SunshineWeek spotlights the importance of open government ☀️ As a congressional watchdog, Sen. @ChuckGrassley works tirelessly to expose bad actors and root out government wrongdoing. Because the public's business ought to be public.

Public records facts for #SunshineWeek. Over the last five years, the number of pages we have provided in response to public records requests has more than doubled, to 922,084 pages. If you printed out all these pages and stacked them, they would be more than 300 feet tall, taller than the dome of the Washington State Legislative Building. Or taller than 52 Josh Naylors.
