Trump officials create searchable national citizenship database

Good article about how DOGE and Palantir are creating a mega-database of all our most private data for both surveillance and control. Ostensibly, this is about voter fraud. The reality is far more sinister. Palantir has long accumulated data for the DoD and we have no idea what they collect or how it is used, but now the company has moved into the civilian sphere creating a mega-database with information that should not be shared with a secretive, private company working with a dictator like Trump to track and monetize our data for his warped purposes. Some Palantir employees have even gone public with their concerns that Palantir even has access to this data. I can only imagine all the negative uses for such a database accessible by an evil administration.

“The rollout of the citizenship database, which is an upgraded version of an existing network of data sources, comes after the New York Times reported that software firm Palantir was selected to help develop a “mega-database” for the Trump administration.

In a letter to the company, 10 Democratic lawmakers said the database, which would collect the tax and other personal information on all Americans in a single repository, would potentially be a violation of federal law.

“The unprecedented possibility of a searchable ‘mega-database’ of tax returns and other data that will potentially be shared with or accessed by other federal agencies is a surveillance nightmare that raises a host of legal concerns, not least that it will make it significantly easier for Donald Trump’s administration to spy on and target his growing list of enemies and other Americans,” the letter reads.”
