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.

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.

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.

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.

IRAN: Why the Blockade Is an Oracle Story
On the same day Apple Maps allegedly removed the names of every town in Lebanon, Israel announced a goal of demolishing those towns village by village, peace talks with Iran collapsed, and the US announced a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. These are not separate crises. This is one story, and it runs through one company.What this video covers: The Board of Peace and what the charter actually says Why Gaza was never the point Larry Ellison, Marco Rubio, Tony Blair, and Jared Kushner — and how they were connected years before any of this The Oracle contracts in Gaza, Lebanon, and why Iran is the one hole in the map Why the Iran talks collapsed and what Lebanon had to do with it 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.

91 Percent Human: The Shy Girl AI Scandal
Mia Ballard wrote a horror novel called Shy Girl and self-published it in February 2025 with no agent and no deal, just the book on Amazon. The horror community found it on TikTok, and it steadily gathered momentum in the way that grassroots literary success still occasionally happens. Almost five thousand readers rated it on Goodreads. Reviewers called it corrosive but addictive, dark and visceral. For a self-published debut, it was doing something rare. It was finding its people.Hachette, one of the five largest publishers in the world, acquired it. They assigned an editor, designed new covers, scheduled a UK release for November and a US release the following May, sent advance copies to established reviewers, and built an entire marketing campaign around a book that had started as one woman’s solo bet on herself.Then the internet decided it was written by AI.[Read the full story here]:https://thedreydossier.substack.com/p/91-percent-human-the-shy-girl-aiFollow me onTikTok: // thedreydossier Instagram: // thedreydossier Independent journalism only exists if people can actually see it, so if this helped connect some dots, feel free to share it.

“Whatever I see or hear in the lives of my patients, whether in connection with my professional practice or not, which ought not to be spoken of outside, I will keep secret, as considering all such things to be private.” — The Hippocratic Oath, approximately 400 BCIn this video, I walk through exactly what Oracle has acquired since buying Cerner for $28.3 billion; all the clinical records from 14,000 medical facilities, the CMS contract covering Medicare and Medicaid for 150 million Americans, a federal designation that lets them see health data moving across the entire system, and a commercial AI product selling access to 129 million patient records that launched 13 days before the CMS contract was announced.HIPAA was supposed to prevent this, but it doesn't. And the contract that governs what Oracle can do with your Medicare data has never been made public.TAKE ACTION — Show Us The Contract: thedreydossier.github.io/show-us-the-contract/ Full written investigation with every source cited and linked:https://thedreydossier.substack.com/Follow for updates:Instagram: @thedreydossierTikTok: @thedreydossier Learn more about your ad choices.
