PLAN ACCORDINGLY: Vote in person if you can. Vote early if your state allows. Use a drop box where available. If you can avoid relying on the mail to return your ballot this election, you should. Know your state’s rules. Know your deadlines. Help your friends and family plan their vote too.

MAKE YOUR PLAN TO VOTE NOW. SCOTUS just allowed the Trump admin to move forward, for now, w/major new restrictions on mail voting ahead of midterms. The order requires states to provide voter lists to the feds & could restrict USPS from delivering mail ballots to voters who aren’t on those lists.

This is bombshell stuff.
Together, alongside the mundane fare of a typical thought leadership conference, the documents show an extraordinary convergence of power. The registration records list General Alexus Grynkewich, NATO's supreme allied commander Europe and the head of US European Command, who took the post in July 2025 and is recorded on the leaked list as having attended Dialog gatherings since 2021. The website directory names sitting Trump administration officials, two US senators, six members of the Paypal Mafia, a former Middle East chief of intelligence, and a sitting ambassador to the United States, along with the founders and directors of many of the country's largest surveillance, data-broker, and advertising-data companies.

Those executives appear side by side with senior US officials overseeing their industries. Auren Hoffman, Dialog’s chairman, founded the location-data broker SafeGraph and the identity-resolution firm LiveRamp, two of the most important suppliers in the consumer data economy. He appears in the directory alongside Treasury secretary Scott Bessent, whose department writes the rules on financial data, and Senator Ted Cruz, chairman of the Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee, which oversees the Federal Trade Commission and its data-privacy authority.

Palantir cofounder Joe Lonsdale, whose software runs case management for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement and data fusion for the Pentagon and intelligence community, is listed in the same society as Army secretary Dan Driscoll and Representative Jim Himes, the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, which oversees agencies Palantir contracts with.

The DOGE official who allegedly wanted to falsify SSA data is Jon Koval, a VP at Valor Equity, which was founded by Antonio Gracias, one of Musk’s oldest friends... 1/

WASHINGTON, D.C., June 5, 2026 - The Trump administration sought to assign bogus death dates to 2.7 million people living in the United States, a flagrantly illegal misuse of Social Security Administration (SSA) data intended to pressure immigrants into leaving the country, a new government insider account reveals.
That shockingly high number far exceeds the 6,000 administrative "killings" previously reported last year in The Washington Post. It comes in a legal disclosure by Jeremiah Schofield, a former SSA senior executive, who was in the room when a Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) official laid out a plan to "kill off" millions of people in SSA's master database.katzbanks.com
KATZ BANKS KUMIN
The DOGE official, private equity investor Jon Koval, said in Schofield's presence that the purpose of "killing off" the 2.7 million living people was to ruin their lives and push them out of the country. Explaining the scheme, Koval said that either the 2.7 million people would selt-deport or they would go to their local Social Security office to prove they are alive where Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) could detain and forcibly deport them.
Schofield's explosive revelations are being made public today by U.S. Senators Richard Blumenthal and Elizabeth Warren. The senators are seeking answers from SSA Commissioner Frank Bisignano and three individuals who worked with DOGE at SSA, including Koval, and demanding the officials preserve all records related to the events detailed in Schofield's account.
