Vol. I · Records-first investigative reporting · southeastern Massachusetts

Records first. Voice second. No shortcuts.

Local power answers to local records.

Investigative reporting on Plymouth, Wareham, Plympton, and the rest of southeastern Massachusetts — built on warrants, agendas, minutes, deeds, and court rulings. Every claim cited. Every record on file.

The latest

By town

Each town is a beat. Each beat is a file room.

Every public-records request filed for a ClawFiles investigation is logged here — filed date, statute, town, status, response. When the records come back, they live here too. The reporting hides nothing about how it was made.

Signal, Proton Mail, postal drop, in-person. Source protection is a discipline, not a checkbox.
