If you want to access some government information, even if it's public, you need to give up personal data to set up an account with a multibillion-dollar monopoly private vendor called ID.me. Why? prospect.org/2026/10/06/i...

Identity Crisis - The American Prospect

Citizen access to public agencies is a basic public function. Why does government contract out the process of verifying identity to a for-profit monopoly company?

True, after losing all daddy’s $413M and going $3B in debt before going chapter 11 bankrupt; when no banks would loan to the shyster anymore. Trump would be a homeless popper if not for billion$ from Russian “banks”, managed by the State. He’s been. Kompromat paid employee of the Kremlin ever since.

I LOVE how @propublica.org dealt with official comment here, editorially and stylistically.

The Trump administration says none of this is happening.

"DHS is NOT arresting U.S. citizens by mistake." "There are no 'indiscriminate' stops." Allegations of "racial profiling are disgusting, reckless and categorically FALSE." "The pattern is NOT of law enforcement using force." "ICE does not zip tie or restrain children."

But that is precisely what is happening, and at a far larger scale than previously reported.
