ICE will reportedly hire contractors to surveil social media platforms 24/7 to target people for deportations.
The information would then be funneled into an existing ICE database built by Palantir (founded by Trump ally Peter Thiel).

Great thread of the most vulnerable House Republicans in 2026 who voted to gut Medicaid and other essential programs today.
🚨 There are 32 House Republicans who won by 15 points or less last November.
31 of them just voted to gut #Medicaid/CHIP & #SNAP along w/other critical programs.
In #ALASKA, Nick Begich won by just 2.0%.
250,000 Alaskans, or over 33% of the total population, depend on Medicaid/CHIP.

This week, as the number of confirmed measles cases rose to 483, the CDC buried a report that would’ve stressed the importance of getting vaccinated.

The CDC Buried a Measles Forecast That Stressed the Need for Vaccinations
The move — along with the CDC’s explanation — is a sign that the nation’s top public health agency may be falling in line under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime critic of vaccines.
