"The captain of the giant Royal Navy battleship called his officers together to give them a first morsel of one of World War II's most closely guarded secrets: Prepare yourselves, he said, for an extremely important task. Speculations abound, one of the officers wrote in his diary that day June 2, 1944. Some say a second front, some say we are to escort the Soviets, or doing something else around Iceland. No one is allowed ashore.""

The organization investigates financials such as Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and emphasizes parsing facts from messaging. The outlet depends on reader donations to keep reporting free and accessible, refusing paywalls and appealing to supporters across the political spectrum.
