Thomson Reuters, which owns news agency Reuters, has signed a $125M deal giving ICE access to its databases of personal data. USA Today has partnered with Palantir to gain "actionable intelligence" on its audiences. The media should be opponents of Trump's police state — not collaborators.

This reporting should chill every American to the bone. The Trump Administration owes the public answers – Americans do not support extrajudicial attacks in our name. We need transparency and accountability for these strikes, NOW.

At the very least, Congress must disarm ICE, prohibit it from using racial or ethnic profiling, end arrest quotas, remove agents’ immunity from criminal prosecution and civil lawsuits, and slash its funding. The Senate has the chance to rein in ICE this week. Keep calling: (202) 224-3121

The Social Security payroll tax is capped at $184,500. If you're a nurse or construction worker, you're paying Social Security on 100% of your income. But if you're a corporate lawyer, raking in millions, you're only paying Social Security on a tiny fraction of your income. - @warren.senate.gov

Stop the false equivalence. No other President sued his own government to secure immunity for himself and his family, created a fund to reward cop beaters, and demanded prosecution of his political enemies. Trump’s weaponization of DOJ is unprecedented and you just endorsed it.

DHS Secretary Mullin invested between $500,001 and $1 million in a kratom tonic company. He also reportedly urged FDA officials to remove language from their website warning of kratom’s harms. Wonder if that's why the Trump admin promoted ‘gas station heroin’ instead of cracking down on it?
