Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Exemption 7(A) – 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(7)(A) Specifically allows withholding of files during active or prospective investigations to avoid risks like tipping off subjects, revealing investigative techniques, compromising witnesses, or jeopardizing evidence collection.

Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Exemption 7(A) – 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(7)(A) While FOIA governs public requests for records, it effectively prevents mandatory disclosure during ongoing matters. Agencies often cite it to resist releases that could harm investigations, as noted in DOJ guidance.

Opening or reopening an investigation immediately reduces the government's ability to release records, because agencies can withhold them under "active investigation" protections (FOIA Exemption 7(A), privacy restrictions, and investigative-sensitivity rules).

Republicans: a 30 year old state senator spreading neo-Nazi rhetoric in group chats is “just a kid” Also Republicans: a 15 year old girl is a grown woman and it’s fine if the President is attracted to her

Wow, that’s crazy. Republicans lied and are screwing you over? Who could have seen that coming?

What’s the worst that can happen? #healthcare

Oh wow. Who could've ever seen this coming? "Speaker Johnson won't guarantee vote in House on ACA subsidies" abcnews.go.com/Politics/liv...

there is nothing “moderate” about siding with MAGA to impose crushing health insurance price hikes on tens of millions.

Chuck Schumer’s no vote on the deal to end the shutdown is irrelevant He couldn’t keep his caucus together or extract assurances from the House-even after Tuesday’s landslide Democratic victories-showing that he’s totally ineffectual as a leader Sadly, millions of Americans will now pay the price

Reading the news any day in 2025

The only political accomplishment out of this for Dems is that when health insurance skyrockets for 22 million Americans in 42 days, it will be clear to even low information voters that Republicans are the ones responsible. Whether that makes all this worth it remains to be seen.

BREAKING: Senate Democrats reach deal with Republicans to open the government. House Democrats deeply oppose this bill. youtu.be/KR6WjdUIkBY

& members of congress!!

What she said

How to scare monsters 🎃

While #SNAP allows people to buy bottled water, its budget doesn't account for this need. But low income families disproportionately struggle with poor water quality & rely on SNAP for this. Benefit cuts could mean no access to safe drinking water and no one should be ok with this #waterSecurity

It is a choice to give Argentina a $40 billion bailout It is a choice to use ICE in a way which terrorizes US citizens It is a choice to tear down the East Wing of the White House and spend $350 million on a ballroom Just as it is a choice to starve 42 million Americans by refusing to fund SNAP

I really think that we need to talk more about the fact that Republicans have basically quietly abolished the House of Representatives

He’s designing the ballroom with AI isn’t he www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

they are so close to understanding the entire point of trade

As someone who's experienced hostility from this admin against my race, profession, legal status, I'm thankful for those who showed up this #NoKings to raise their voice. On behalf of those of us who couldn't do it but have long believed in the #democracy & #freedom of this country, thank you!

Wow! Love your creativity Ocean Beach (San Francisco)!

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

Amazing changes can happen in a mere couple of months. The Trump regime's lies about No Kings protests are getting more desperate and inflammatory as the White House gets more scared of the power of the people.

Lol that the London No Kings event is called No Tyrants because…you know… www.nokings.org#map

On top of detaining U.S. citizens, ICE is now fining legal residents for not carrying their papers. It was never about going after the “worst of the worst.” It was always about cruelty.

A 3,000-pound ice sculpture spelling out the word “DEMOCRACY” was seen melting on the National Mall within view of the U.S. Capitol building in Washington, D.C.

"In unison." Amen. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Frog Love among Taco Terror. 🥰 #portland #iceout

To be clear: LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government. The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency. This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

So much for another relic from my childhood: cordcuttersnews.com/mtv-is-shutt...

You know what it means to be anti-Antifa right?

Early reports indicate that layoffs primarily target EPA and the Interior, Energy and Commerce departments, along with Homeland Security, Education, Treasury, Health and Human Services, and Housing and Urban Development.

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

They didn’t just NOT give Trump the Nobel Peace Prize, they wrote a citation that reads like an anti-Trump rallying cry. (He’s gonna extra-tariff Norway now, isn’t he?)

Things are happening at Portland's ICE facility tonight. Read more of our protest coverage here: www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/1...

So yesterday a reporter asked Donald Trump about the writ of habeas corpus, and he had no idea what it was. "I don't know," he said. "I'd rather leave that to Kristi." Well, It turns out Sen. Hassan asked Kristi Noem about it in May, and this was Noem's response:
