Probably a few years ago when so many people became so dependent on short video for absorbing information.

He did but him resigning was part of the deal I think. I think they got a board seat out of it and promised not to acquire more shares.. I’ll doublecheck later

If I remember correctly Dorsey resigning was part of a deal made with an activist investor. Dorsey negotiated so he could handpick his successor.

He wanted to save it so much that he decided to pull out of the deal and only decided to move forward after it was clear he was gonna be on the hook for the breakup fee.

Some deep revisionist history there.

My name is Marisa Kabas, and I'm an independent journalist who publishes The Handbasket. I'm reaching out about a matter that involves your team and that continues to trouble me.

In June of last year, Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press and I filed a FOIA lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan Police Department to compel them to release body camera footage from the March 17, 2025 DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace. What followed was months of back and forth with their lawyers, arguing why it was in the public interest to release the un-redacted footage in its entirety. Though tiny segments were handed over, that wasn't enough: We wanted all of it. 

On February 18, 2026, a DC judge ruled in our favor, and your reporter Mark Segraves sent a kind note of congratulations that day. Then on Monday, March 2nd, the footage was handed over to me and excitedly announced I'd received it and would be reviewing it in the coming days and sharing what I learned. When Segraves emailed me this past Thursday asking for my phone number, I didn't think much of it. But when he called me just before 2pm on Friday to let me know NBC4 Washington would be airing a segment at 5pm, I grew concerned. 

Segraves said he'd obtained some of the footage via a FOIA request that week after he heard the footage had been released to me. He said he'd credit the work of RCFP and me, but it was little comfort. I asked if he'd known the day before when he emailed me for my number, why didn't he tell me then? He didn't have a good answer for that. He acknowledged all the hard work I'd done getting this footage released. I asked him if he could hold the story until Monday, to which he replied that he's "not just a blogger" (implying that that's all I am, presumably) and that he'd have to check with his editor. I said fine. Nearly an hour later he called back to say his editor refused to hold the story, but that they were happy to interview me via Zoom to add to the package, and I said I would.

I said fine. Nearly an hour later he called back to say his editor refused to hold the story, but that they were happy to interview me via Zoom to add to the package, and I said I would.

What followed was two hours of furiously writing and posting clips of the footage to Youtube so I could get something published before the 5pm broadcast, and in the midst of that, recording a quick Zoom interview with a person who was about to take credit for my work. At 4:59pm ET, The Handbasket published a piece titled "Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid." Then I tuned into NBC4 Washington via your website to catch the broadcast, and my instinct to rush to get something out first was proven right. 

"It's a story you're seeing first on News4," your newscast began. "For the first time we're getting an inside look at what happened the day the Trump administration took over the US Institute of Peace. News4 obtained more than four hours of police body camera video from that day." What followed was more than six minutes of clips and commentary from Segraves, but it's not until six minutes and 21 seconds into the piece that he mentions my name (mispronounced though he asked for the correct pronunciation on Zoom), "The Handbasket blog," and the RCFP's foundational role in bringing this footage to light. I was angry, but didn't feel there was much I could do.

Then I saw the version NBC4 posted to Instagram and TikTok—the video itself made ZERO mention of the RCFP or my work, only briefly acknowledging it in the written caption on Instagram, and not even bothering to do that on TikTok. An average viewer with no background on the case is lead to believe that this footage was released because of your efforts. When I saw that, I decided I couldn't let this go.

It's difficult to explain what it's like to spend nearly a year working on a story only to have another reporter and outlet surreptitiously take credit for it; months of work and personal risk only to have another reporter lying in wait to swoop in. What NBC4 did was immoral, unethical, and to be frank, just truly sucked.

I just sent this email to the news director at NBC4 Washington about the unprofessional and disrespectful way they handled publishing the body camera footage of the DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace that was obtained via my FOIA lawsuit:

If you ask them about Drake vs Commissioner of IRS, and they don’t know what it is, while simultaneously claiming that you can write off virtually anything that is ordinary and necessary in the pursuit of income, that’s a red flag.

Rebecca Torrence did readers a disservice by not highlightling Michael’s conflicts of interest. He holds $1-$5M in Perplexity and his spouse owns $500k -$1M in X.ai stock.

They also list investments in funds that are known to have invested in OpenAI in their disclosures.

AI cannot fail, it can only be failed.

Arriving at the "don’t give the agent access to terraform prod" conclusion would have been too easy.

Also who runs terraform apply -auto-approve on prod without running and inspecting terraform plan first?

Can you call yourself a pirate if you are always on the side of the government? They should rename it to glazer wires as it is a more suitable name.

Ron DeSantis genuinely believed he could be the president of the United States with a charisma of -1000, but then again, JD Vance is the vice president so one can say anything is possible.

So you're telling me that everyone now has access to a magical system that can correctly synthesize and answer questions about any doc or code that has ever been written by any person at your company, and deeply critique your design docs and code, but somehow junior engineers are *less* valuable

It’s a free country.

I can ask any question I feel like asking and anyone can either refuse or chose to respond. I don’t owe you an explanation and neither does the person I was responding to owe me a response.
