Whistleblower claims ex-DOGE member says he took Social Security data to new job The Social Security inspector general’s office is investigating allegations that the former DOGE engineer took sensitive data on a thumb drive in a major potential security breach, said people familia...

For months, we warned DOGE's access to Americans' private data was ripe for abuse. And here it is:

A former DOGE employee stole the Social Security numbers & personal info of over 500 MILLION Americans.

Musk, Trump, & their DOGE lackies must be made to answer for this, NOW.

Justice Department publishes some missing Epstein files related to Trump The Justice Department has published additional Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor after an NPR investigation found dozens of pages were withheld.

4 days ago, NPR reported that the Trump administration is still withholding, in violation of the Epstein files statutes, 37 pages of documents that implicate him in the rape of a child. This should end his presidency. www.npr.org/2026/03/05/n...

President Trump's Pardons: An Embarrassment of Riches At least the specter of corruption in previous presidential administrations (Clinton’s pardon of Marc Rich or Biden’s pardon of his son) appeared to be an exception to the rule. Today, however, the ev...

That is insane: "Biden’s pardons eliminated roughly $680,000 in financial penalties owed to victims or the government. In contrast, Trump’s second-term pardons have forgiven criminal debts of more than $1.5 billion." www.cato.org/blog/embarra...

Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy.

We must fight this dangerous expansion of surveillance technology.

In a new TIME interview, Trump casually acknowledged Americans could face retaliatory attacks at home due to his escalating war with Iran. β€œI guess,” he said when asked about the risk, adding: β€œWhen you go to war, some people will die.” time.com/7382697/trum...

Iwao Takamoto was one of the Disney greats. Films like Sleeping Beauty owe a lot to his meticulous lines.

The studio was a kind of home for him -- it was a big change. Just before, he'd been in the camps. We explore the story:

Hackers Expose Age-Verification Software Powering Surveillance Web Three hacktivists tried to find a workaround to Discord’s age-verification software. Instead, they found its frontend exposed to the open internet.

Oops. Turns out Persona, Discord’s age-verification service, was secretly screening selfies against government watchlists AND accessible by the feds. It's backed by Peter Thiel.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Meta is putting a "Name Tag" feature in Ray-Bans - facial recognition through the glasses' camera. You look at someone, AI tells you who they are.
