Epstein survivor Haley Robson: I’m so tired of having this administration just completely dismiss us. They’re supposed to be the party of, you know, family values and protecting children. And I just feel like if that’s the party you are, it seems like Thomas Massie is the only one showing up for it.

This cannot be something a civilian law enforcement agent is allowed to wear in the US — and an agency that has a culture that tolerates this cannot be saved.

A manual for ICE's immigrant-targeting computer system, Palantir ELITE, was leaked today.

Let's look at it, then step back to evaluate how far we've come along a dangerous road and where that road might take us. 🧵
Here is the User Guide for ELITE, the Tool Palantir Made for ICE
404 Media is publishing a version of the user guide for ELITE, which lets ICE bring up dossiers on individual people and provides a “confidence score” of their address.

Not to pop anyone's balloons, but I feel it important to note that the presence in an FBI file of a witness claim against a famous person is not the same thing as a proven fact. It's not nothing, but it's far from a slam dunk.

I got to thinking about all the podcasts on streamers and did some homework.

TLDR: Streamers are buying talk shows at podcast prices & writers/actors/crews could suffer.
