Mike Gallagher, the man largely responsible for the ban of TikTok now leads the defense division of the controversial Palantir Technologies.
The man “concerned” about you being spied on, wants to spy on you.

RIP TikTok. The ultimate example of the olds not getting it.
It is especially ironic that we're freaking out about a foreign owned social network when we're letting untrustworthy figures straight through the door over here

We were just told that they won’t let us in. They are denying entry to 2 dozen members of Congress. Elon Musk has all our private information & we have no idea what he’s doing with it. This is happening completely behind closed doors. HELL NO. It’s illegal. We demand oversight!

I tried asking Rep. Mike Lawler whether it's good government to have an unelected, unvetted 19-year-old and former Neuralink intern working for DOGE who now has access to high-level federal data on millions of Americans and has sway in federal employment

Last year, law enforcement intercepted about 19 kilograms of fentanyl at the US-Canada border. At the southern border, agents seized 9,600 kilograms.
The idea that Canada is a major source of drugs is a lie, and this admin is hoping you’re stupid enough to believe it.

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out.
This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

During Trump's first term, the USDA gave hundreds of expert agricultural economists and researchers an ultimatum: Relocate across the country on a few weeks' notice, or lose your job. The results were devastating – a generational brain drain. Trump's not done.
