This is just to say I have received the records that were sent to my email and which you probably thought would satisfy me. Forgive me I now must ask for more records and no redactions

Happy #FOIAFriday and good morning. Let's talk about records and what they are called. By way of example, let's talk about the Epstein List. If you FOIA for "The Epstein List" I'd be surprised if you get a response, especially if government officials don't want you to have it.

It's sometimes impossible to know what docs a government has. So when I ask for records, I sometimes say "I'd like the documents or records that contain this information" and then describe the information in detail. That can get you somewhere!

Lawmakers have strengthened Illinois’ longstanding sexual abuse survivors law in an effort to ensure patients receive critical care after sexual assault. My audio debut (embedded in this article) is worth a listen. apmreports.org/story/2025/06…

APM Reports was the first in the nation to report these violations and talk to these sources. If public media is important to you, let your reporters know and talk to people about our value.
