That’s not all. Current law also lets the Feds buy all sorts of sensitive data on you from shady data brokers, with just a credit card. The Feds can feed that data into powerful AI systems to spy on you. Kash Patel recently confirmed to me he’s buying your location data.
There is a little-known law called Section 702 of FISA. The federal government has abused it over and over to try and spy on Americans, including protestors, elected officials – one NSA employee even spied on people he met through an online dating app.
The federal government – ICE, FBI, and more – is spying on you without a warrant. This week, Congress will decide whether Kash Patel, Stephen Miller and Trump can keep spying on Americans. If that scares you (it should) this thread is for you.
Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act is responsible for a huge share of intel collected by the U.S. Lawmakers and civil liberties advocates are worried it enables warrantless spying on U.S. citizens. n.pr/41wU5YA
Sen. Wyden: Republicans and the Trump administration specifically killed the direct file program and put those workers back at the mercy of the tax software giants, who overcharge for a service that ought to be free.
@dfriedman.bsky.social and I recently published a story about a mysterious donation by Bill Pulte's charity that might have been funneling money to help Donald Trump. Today @warren.senate.gov and @wyden.senate.gov are demanding answers from Pulte himself: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Donald Trump is deranged. He must be impeached and removed from office. Republicans who don’t stop him will have blood on their hands, and anyone who carries out an order to bomb civilian targets will be complicit in war crimes and will be held accountable.
Trump: “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will … We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end”
Trump: “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!”
Nobody knows more about Epstein than @jkbjournalist.bsky.social. She’s absolutely right: the American people can’t lose sight of the fact that the Trump administration is covering up for pedophiles. Keep the pressure up. Follow the money.
⚖️ Julie K. Brown: Scott Bessent is blocking Sen. Wyden’s effort to look at Epstein’s taxes and financial records. They claim to be transparent. Why aren’t they letting investigators with the House Oversight Committee look at the money piece of Epstein’s crime? #Epstein @marcofoster.bsky.social
