Tina Dupuy is the communications director for Congressman Alan Grayson,[1] and has been a nationally syndicated op-ed columnist, freelance investigative journalist and comedian. Dupuy is the former managing editor for the progressive blog Crooks and Liars.

She freelances for Los Angeles Times, The Atlantic, Fast Company, LA Weekly, Newsday, Mother Jones (magazine), and Skeptic (U.S. magazine). Her weekly op-ed column is nationally syndicated through Daryl Cagle's website Cagle Cartooons. Dupuy's writing has also been published in books including a collection of short stories called What Was I Thinking? (St. Martin's Press, 2009) and the English textbook Exploring Language 13th Edition (Longman, 2011).

After The Tampa Tribune used an article of Dupuy's without paying for it in 2009, she created a YouTube video to shame the paper into paying $75 for the piece.[2][3][4]

Tina has spoken openly about being born in the cult The Children of God and subsequently being raised in foster care in California.[5] She created a podcast called "Cultish"[6] where she interviewed former members of cults, and discussed her uncle Rick Dupuy's public defection.[7]
