For ten years, Theranos has been the story of one woman, her voice, her turtleneck and her lies. But if Elizabeth Holmes was the one in charge, why does every road lead back to Larry Ellison? Behind her was Ellison’s money, a board that looked like a war cabinet, and a patent that sends your blood test results to “a central monitoring site, e.g., that of a governmental agency.” Theranos died. That patent didn’t. On the president’s second day in office, Ellison stood in the White House and pitched a blood test under the name Stargate, the code name of a government psychic spy program. So who was Theranos really built for?

In 1972, the government started paying people to see things they couldn’t reach. Thirty years later, a startup promised to see inside your body from a single drop of blood. Everyone remembers the woman in the black turtleneck. Tonight we follow the blood, and the people who were watching it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Trump’s judicial nominees can explain every step of how the 2020 election was certified, but they still won’t say who won it. With the midterms weeks away, I checked the viral claim that Ukraine’s strikes on Yandex’s data centers silenced the MAGA bots, and the bots never left. Then I followed the vote from your paper ballot to your TV screen, where all five major networks now start from the same AP feed that AP also sells to the betting app Kalshi. Larry Ellison wants every country’s data in one database, and Brazil showed in 2020 what happens when the whole count runs on one system and it stalls on election night.

There's trouble in paradise at the brain chip farm. According to recent reports, Elon Musk dumped Shivon Zilis, the mother of four of his kids and who is the Director at Neuralink. She announced it herself after an automated account caught Elon unfollowing her, leading her to post a few screenshots of messages between the two. But what she chose to share has me asking a few questions... is this whole breakup staged? What is Neuralink trying to launch now? We have a lot of catching up to do.

This video is about how a government sign-in page can become a national identity system. Twenty-five years after the United States rejected a centralized national ID, the federal government is moving hundreds of public services onto Login.gov. Behind the familiar login screen is a growing identity infrastructure capable of connecting government records, verifying people who are not present, labeling accounts for suspected fraud, tracking browsers, and deciding who gets through the door. I followed Greg Hogan from the system Elon Musk used to reach two million federal employees, through his testimony over DOGE’s access to federal personnel records, and into his new role expanding Login.gov toward what officials have called a “globally recognized identity platform.” I also went through Login.gov’s code, federal directives, procurement records, court findings, and an unexplained increase from 100 million to 180 million accounts. What emerges is not one dramatic announcement, but a national identity system being assembled one agency, contractor, software switch, and fraud-prevention measure at a time.

This video is about how a public crisis can become a data asset. A politically charged shooting can generate thousands of videos, photos, identities, locations, witness accounts, and movement records. Those materials can feed the systems that turn people into searchable patterns: faces, trajectories, associations, vehicles, accounts, organizations, and networks. I followed the timeline around the Charlie Kirk case, from White House technology infrastructure and federal voter-data demands to FBI digital-media intake and the network-focused policies that followed.

Twenty-four hours before the White House announced Trump’s ballroom, the administration gathered more than sixty healthcare and technology companies to begin building a new national health-data system. A year later, Trump says the ballroom sits over an integrated military complex containing a hospital and medical facilities. The Supreme Court has allowed construction to continue while it considers the case. I went through the court filings, architectural drawings, CMS code, and Trump’s own statements to understand what they are building, how they are paying for it, and what Congress can still do.

Seven people had dinner in a cabin in Maine and announced a movement for the forgotten American. The cabin belongs to the man at the head of the table — so does the network the manifesto aired on, the survival store advertised during it, and the gold company with his name on the paperwork. His own lawyers won a case by arguing no reasonable viewer takes him at his word. I took his lawyers at their word and spent a week checking everyone else at the table too.Some of them read real. That's what makes it worth twenty minutes.
