Intelligence
Collection authorities, FISA process, inspector-general findings, and the gap between the briefing and the footnote.
Official contradiction
USCIS E-Verify task orders continue as DHS OIG documents accuracy and compliance gaps
Public contract records show ongoing work to operate and modernize the employment-eligibility system while inspector-general reports have described error rates, incomplete photo matching, and uneven employer use. Officials have described the program as a compliance tool; the audits have described remaining weaknesses.
Coverage
Procurement
IDIQ vehicles, other-transaction authority, cost-plus forever, and the primes who write the requirements they then bid.
Regulatory capture
Comment dockets, advisory committees, and the quiet rewrite of rules after the hearing ends.
Classified programs
Black-budget lines, special-access language, and what can still be said from the unclassified wrap.
Money in politics
PACs, dark-money 501s, contractor bundling, and the donor who already has the contract.
Surveillance & doors
Authorities that sunset on paper, revolving-door waivers, pharma and defense alumni at the table.
