Trump built a new passport.gov website

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.

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.
