I found a second vote.gov — and it's registered to the White House
A White House office with no Senate confirmation, no financial disclosures, and no entry in any federal procurement database has built a secret copy of vote.gov, the country's voter registration website. It is run by the same people who were sued for accessing federal databases without clearance at DOGE. And it is collecting data on Americans right now, on a federal drug pricing website, with no privacy notices filed and no oversight body with jurisdiction to stop it. I found it by accident. I was on TrumpRx.gov. This is the full investigation into the National Design Studio, Joe Gebbia, and the shadow infrastructure being built inside the Executive Office of the President, connecting a White House-controlled passport portal going live this week, a federal voter registration system the DOJ told a judge doesn't exist, and the same private Cloudflare account running all of it.

What we caught in Beijing
On May 13, a CIA officer testified under oath that the United States covered up the fact that COVID came from a Chinese laboratory. Not one Democratic senator showed up, and the hearing has 60,000 views on YouTube. The same morning, Donald Trump's plane was landing in Beijing with the CEO of the company that reads 80% of the world's DNA on the delegation list. Four days after he flew home, the WHO declared an Ebola emergency in two countries that had just signed agreements handing their pathogen genomes to the United States Government. Almost no one is covering any of it. This is the story of the plan a former FDA commissioner wrote down in 2021, the agencies that got dismantled to make room for it, and the week last month it ran its first test.Read the full article thedreydossier.substack.com Follow me on TikTok / Instagram / X: @thedreydossier Independent journalism only exists if people can actually see it, so if this connected some dots, share it with somebody who works in public health, a journalist who should be covering this, or anyone who needs to know what got built in the space where the mourning was supposed to be.Thanks for being here.

Genesis Mission: The Manhattan Project for AI. Kind of.
On November 24, 2025, the federal government announced the largest AI program in American history and cut its science budget by thirteen percent in the same press release. They called the program the Genesis Mission, and they handed the largest piece of it to Oracle, the same company that already runs a federal clinical health records platform covering 9.6 million Americans, a platform called MHS GENESIS. And almost no one has connected these dots. Almost.This is the story of what the ballroom has been the lid of, and why the names matter.Read the full article thedreydossier.substack.com Follow me on TikTok / Instagram: @thedreydossierIndependent journalism only exists if people can actually see it, so if this connected some dots, share it with a veteran, a journalist who should be covering federal AI policy, anyone you know inside the national lab system, or anyone who deserves to know what is being built with their data and their money.Thanks for being here.

you're paying for Trump's ballroom
Twelve hours after Saturday's shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, the Department of Justice gave the National Trust for Historic Preservation until 9 a.m. Monday to drop its lawsuit against Trump's ballroom, or face a government motion to dismiss the case entirely.On June 5th, a federal appeals court is scheduled to rule on whether the President can spend public money on a major construction project without Congress voting on it, and the precedent that ruling sets is the asset the administration cannot afford to lose.Read the full articlethedreydossier.substack.comFollow me onTikTok / Instagram: @thedreydossier Independent journalism only exists if people can actually see it, so if this connected some dots, share it with someone who could use the information.Thanks for being here.

How Larry Ellison and Gulf Money Just Bought Your News
Six days before the largest media merger in American history goes to a shareholder vote, Warner Bros. Discovery filed a fourteen-page correction to the document its shareholders are being asked to vote on. The correction only exists because of one retail shareholder on Staten Island sued. Almost no one is covering it. This is the story of what the Ellisons left out, and why WBD is now admitting, in writing, that they knew about it all along.This video covers:-The fourteen-page correction WBD was forced to file on April 17 -Donna Nicosia, the one shareholder who read the proxy and sued -Why Paramount pulled ads from The Ankler over a bag of pins -Evercore's $35 to $40 million in undisclosed Ellison-world fees, and what Ampere actually is -Allen & Company, The Free Press, and a 180-day lockup that ends the same month as the vote-Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar putting up $24 billion in non-voting stock designed to skip CFIUS -David Zaslav's $887 million golden parachute, and what that vote is really asking youRead the full article thedreydossier.substack.comFollow me on TikTok / Instagram: @thedreydossierIndependent journalism only exists if people can actually see it, so if this connected some dots, share it with a Warner Bros.

Why Iran's Blockade Is an Oracle Story

Drey v. Oracle: The Third Amendment Case Nobody's Filed Yet
On March 31, Oracle unveiled an AI platform to unify civilian and military government data; while the same week they began laying off 30,000 workers. Your Medicare records, defense contracts, and AI targeting systems are now under one company roof. This is perhaps one of the most urgent and consequential discussion we can have at this moment.What this video covers:Oracle's new federal AI data platform and what "unifying civilian and defense data" actually meansWhy HIPAA doesn't protect you from thisThe Third Amendment and why it might be the only constitutional argument that appliesThe revolving door: Seema Verma, CMS, and Oracle HealthWhat we're asking hospitals and compliance officers to demandRead the full articlethedreydossier.substack.comFollow me onTikTok / Instagram: @thedreydossierIndependent journalism only exists if people can actually see it – so if this connected some dots, share it with someone who could use the information.

The Shy Girl AI Scandal Is Way Worse Than You Think
The Shy Girl AI scandal got so much worse. I traced the story backward from the New York Times and found a sales pipeline, a manuscript nobody can verify, and a consultant who spent five weeks shaping the story without once contacting the author. Mia Ballard got a phone call the day the article ran. The man who brought the scoop to the Times closes his blog post calculating whether the experience was worth it for him. She lost everything. He lost his byline credit.Eight months earlier, the same man had his own book flagged by AI detection and got a personal call from an executive that fixed it over a weekend. Then he put a debut author in the same position and watched.This is Part II.[Read the full story here]:https://thedreydossier.substack.com/Follow me onTikTok: // thedreydossierInstagram: // thedreydossierIndependent journalism only exists if people can actually see it, so if this helped connect some dots, feel free to share it.
