The law and diplomacy behind the headlines — explained by someone trained to read them.
My graduation thesis focused on the law of the sea, written while I was at the UN. I have in-person access to UN, NATO, G7, and UNGA. When the Strait of Hormuz became a headline, I didn’t have to call an expert — I’d already done the research. That piece reached 150,000 readers in a day and was shared across the UN. That’s what ONEST is built to do: take the parts of the news that sound too technical to explain, and make them make sense.
ONEST+ is how that work stays independent — no ads, no sponsors, no algorithm deciding what you see.
Free, always
Daily Brief — a clear, fast rundown of what happened, sent to your inbox.
ONEST Explained — plain-language breakdowns of the law and diplomacy behind the headlines. This is where Hormuz and the NPT review live.
ONEST Newsroom — real-time developments and immediate analysis as stories break.
In addition, what you get as a member
Deep Dives — long-form written and video analysis (3,000+ words / 20+ min), connecting policy, law, and diplomacy to what’s actually at stake.
ONEST Take — where I connect the dots. Short, direct, and behind the paywall for a reason: this is the analysis I don’t publish anywhere else.
Diplomatic Notes — recorded on the ground at NATO, the UN, G7 — on background, using credible sources, always careful. This is what I can share from rooms most readers never get near.
ONEST Voices & 193 Voices — interviews with ambassadors, treaty drafters, sitting justices, and the people shaping policy most outlets never reach. Every subject sees their questions in advance and approves the final piece — which is exactly why they talk to me. Members get these first.
People Behind the Moment — the newest series, launched aboard the USS Nimitz. The people who carry our institutions, rarely asked to tell their own story.
“Without her, I wouldn’t even know what’s happening in the world. She sends the briefing. That’s how I understand what’s actually happening.”
