The Drey Dossier – Details, episodes & analysis

I found a new passports.gov, and it doesn't belong to the State Department. When I called them to ask about it, you'd be surprised what they said. After last week's dig into vote.gov and the National Design Studio, it felt like the right time to talk about passports, what's being built, and how fast it's all moving to be ready before July 4th. The full investigation: a passport portal built by the National Design Studio and registered to the Executive Office of the President instead of the agency that actually issues passports, three photo servers sitting behind a sign-in gate with no seal and no privacy notice, ad trackers wired onto the real State Department passport page where the privacy policy link is dead, and login.gov getting a new feature that lets an outside organization verify your identity without you in the room.

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.

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.

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

Larry Ellison, the fourth richest man on earth, bought a drive-through zoo in the Florida scrublands last November. He paid nearly three times what the land was worth, moved it through two shell companies in a single transaction, and started gutting the place: the water park, the carousel, the campground, the annual passes, gone.Less than two miles away, a mystery data center is fighting for approval, and buried in the zoo's decades-old zoning documents is something no one in the community has been talking about yet. I pulled the deeds, the shell company filings, the campaign finance records, and the zoning resolutions. What I found changes everything about this fight.Full investigation on Substack: thedreydossier.substack.comSupport the fight- Sign the petition: https://www.change.org/p/say-no-to-the-construction-of-project-tango-ai-data-center-in-palm-beach-county- Donate to Stop Project Tango: https://stoptango.com- No To Project Tango: https://www.notoprojecttango.comFollow me on TikTok: / thedreydossierInstagram: / thedreydossierIndependent journalism only exists if people can actually see it, so if this connected some dots, share it with someone.

On March 1st, 2026, Iranian drones hit three Amazon data centers in the Gulf. These were not military installations. They were commercial server buildings processing bank transactions, hospital records, and the daily logistics of millions of civilian lives.Those same buildings were also running the Pentagon's AI. The host governments didn't know. The customers didn't know. The communities living next to them didn't know. And under international humanitarian law, the moment classified military workloads moved in, every one of those buildings became a legitimate target.This is what modern warfare actually looks like. And the same infrastructure is already going up in your backyard.Substack: thedreydossier.substack.comFollow me on TikTok: / thedreydossier Instagram: / thedreydossierIndependent journalism only exists if people can actually see it, so if this connected some dots, share it with someone.

Yesterday Oracle got authorization to run generative AI on federal government data. The highest civilian security clearance + Department of Defense clearance + Medicare records + Military systems. I've written a policy brief asking Congress for three specific things: a formal conflict of interest review, data firewall requirements, and Oracle treated as a related party instead of a neutral vendor. The brief is on the Substack below, along with every filing and citation so you can check the work yourself.I've also sent this to every member of the Senate Antitrust Subcommittee. If this connects the dots for you, I genuinely encourage you to do the same — there's a template message and all their contact information is also available on my Substack.Substack: thedreydossier.substack.com

Paramount just bid thirty-one dollars a share for Warner Bros. Discovery, and every outlet in Hollywood is covering it as the biggest media deal in history. Who gets HBO. Who gets Batman. Whether movies stay in theaters. Meanwhile, on October 1st, 2025, someone quietly filed three brand new LLCs in Delaware with CNN's name on them, twenty days before the company announced it was open to a sale, and nobody has ever reported on them. The original CNN entities just signed onto $17.5 billion in bank debt as collateral. The new ones signed nothing. Two versions of CNN's corporate structure now sit in Delaware: one locked down by sixteen banks, and one completely clean.This piece traces the documentary evidence underneath the bidding war, from the Delaware filings to a merger agreement carve-out that gives WBD authority over CNN right now, to an unnamed buyer in the proxy statement who was never told the process ended, to the president saying it is "imperative that CNN be sold," and asks the question that nobody covering this deal seems interested in asking: what has already been arranged for CNN while everyone was watching the show?If you want the full reporting, the sourcing, and every filing linked so you can check the work yourself, everything is on the Substack below.

Amazon spent millions putting a lost dog in front of a hundred million people during the Super Bowl. The ad was thirty seconds long, emotionally bulletproof, and a perfectly accurate depiction of a networked AI surveillance system activating across an entire residential neighborhood. They just made sure you were crying when you saw it.Meanwhile, in Tucson, an 84-year-old woman had been missing for over a week. Her Nest doorbell footage was declared unrecoverable by local law enforcement. Then the FBI pulled images from what Google called "residual data located in backend systems," which is a very polite way of saying "deleted" doesn't mean what any of us thought it meant.This piece traces the architecture underneath the doorbell camera, from Ring's Search Party feature to Flock Safety's twenty billion monthly license plate scans to Discord requiring 200 million users to submit their face or their papers, and asks the question nobody in the Super Bowl ad wanted you to think about: who else do the cameras see when they're looking for the dog?If you want the full reporting, the sourcing, and the deeper infrastructure story, everything is on the Substack below.
