The April Edition of @[email protected]’s gazette just came out. OGP claims that it’s #OpenGov’s “top news, reforms, & reads,” but that’s not true: It’s just OGP news. OGP wrote nothing about @[email protected] before, during, or after #SunshineWeek, & 0 the USA since Trump admin left.

*Prior administrations* did make real progress in “improving FOIA processes & prioritizing citizens’ access to information about their government." The Trump administration has not. It is downright Orwellian to claim the inverse to be true on a Department of Justice website during #SunshineWeek.

The Department of Justice misled Americans about the true causes and costs of growing delays to Freedom of Information Act requests during #SunshineWeek. I was sufficiently sad (& angry) enough to compose this email about their falsehoods, which is now a blog post: groups.google.com/g/us-open-go...

"As a C.D.C. employee, you get annual trainings on FOIA & record keeping. All of a sudden it was like a complete withdrawal of that.

Responses to Freedom of Information Act requests are often thwarted by high fees, slow responses or exemptions by local, state, and federal agencies.

Happy #SunshineWeek from Washington, DC. Thank you to everyone who has made our government of the people more transparent and accountable to the people that serve serves.

Happy #SunshineWeek! Open government is good government. A free press is essential to freedom & liberty in every government of the People.

I just had a brief moment in the sun on a cloudy day. Freedom of information has made our union stronger. Public access to public records enable a public to be self-governing. Knowledge is power: use it! foia.blogs.archives.gov/2026/03/11/o... #SunshineWeek #FOIA #SunshineFest

Why it matters:
When officials can vote on agenda items with little or no advance notice, transparency collapses and accountability follows. This makes it far easier for bad decisions to dodge public scrutiny and for officials to avoid consequences.

The #Foilies2026
Established in 2015, The #Foilies are an annual project by the #ElectronicFrontierFoundation & #MuckRock to recognize the agencies, officials & contractors that thwart the public's #right to know. We give out these tongue-in-cheek "awards" during #SunshineWeek (March 15-21), a collective effort by media & advocacy organizations to highlight the importance of open government.
This year, we've got a few "winners" whose behavior defies belief.

Why it matters:
Closed-door bargaining lets officials dodge accountability and undercut teachers — while Republican super‑majorities keep many decisions hidden in secret caucuses. Transparency affects pay, staffing and students’ day-to-day lives. -
@foianate.bsky.social & @[email protected] team found “jaw-dropping admissions” from federal agencies about how the FOIA process has broken down across the US government, after cuts to FOIA staff, confirming the dire concerns of folks like me raised in 2025. Gift link: wapo.st/4bJf3sV #SunshineWeek

“…the federal government’s willingness to provide documents that show what the government is doing – not just what it says it is doing – has been eviscerated under the second Trump administration.”— David Cuillier, #SunshineWeek 2026

I know this @[email protected] isn’t going to celebrate #SunshineWeek in 2026, but that doesn’t mean we all can’t do so. Open government is good government. Access to information is a human right. Freedom of information laws are a bulwark against secrecy that hides corruption & lies.
