ICE has bought access to an “all-in-one” surveillance tool that gives it updated location data from hundreds of millions of phones, putting us all at risk of being tracked.

The government can’t be allowed to surveil us simply for having a cell phone.

ICE to Buy Tool that Tracks Locations of Hundreds of Millions of Phones Every Day

Documents show that ICE has gone back on its decision to not use location data remotely harvested from peoples' phones. The database is updated every day with billions of pieces of location data.

Proof that Trump really doesn’t give a damn about essential workers like Air Traffic Controllers and then has his propagandist Leavitt and FAA director post BS blaming the shutdown on the Dems. That dawg don’t hunt.

Trump is such an a$$hat. And you wonder why ATCs are calling out sick.

The White House suggested Tuesday furloughed federal workers might not receive back pay once the government reopens, as the partisan stalemate over the shutdown enters its seventh day.

I love how Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House and #2 in line for the presidency, is always like, “What? News?! I never read or hear anything that happens in the world, anywhere. I’m totally offline. What even is ‘social media’? They play news all day on TV!? Wow! That’s a surprise!”

Q: Do you agree that the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois should be in prison?

MIKE JOHNSON: Should they be in prison? I'm not the attorney general. I'm not following the day to day on that

The CIA’s deputy director has “abruptly demoted” the CIA’s acting general counsel & installed himself in that role, thus taking “control of making legal judgments for the agency while continuing to help lead it…” (This follows Hegseth’s termination of top military legal officials in Feb.) 10/6/25 1/

For most workers in Wisconsin who get hurt on the job, the state’s workers’ compensation system is there to help.
