MODERATORS
OPM is the most important? I don't even know that acronym
I would argue FOIA requests on the intelligence community is the most important
Office of Personnel Management, basically oversees all US Gov employees.
Intelligence Communities work with classified stuff more than anyone. You may only FOIA unclassified stuff so the information and documents you can FOIA is limited
OPM is the most important at the moment as they are the office primarily under attack and being abused by Elon Musk and DOGE. They are the vehicle that Musk is using and abusing to try and destroy all Federal workers across every agency.
FOIA requests of the intelligence community is still super important. We only learn about the illegal shit they do about 30 years later, but I would argue that's extremely important for historians and preventing it from happening in the future
