Stop the Authoritarian Surveillance State — Investigate DOGE, Palantir, and Project 2025 Now I’m issuing this as an urgent national security warning. A coordinated group of far-right operatives and tech oligarchs is systematically dismantling federal oversight, consolidating power, and building a surveillance state capable of erasing our civil liberties in a keystroke. The architects of this power grab include: • Russ Vought – Project 2025 architect, now head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) • Stephen Miller – Trump’s longtime policy enforcer • Peter Thiel – Billionaire, Palantir co-founder, anti-democracy funder • Elon Musk – Original DOGE architect embedding loyalists across federal agencies • Vice President J.D. Vance – Trump’s second-in-command and champion of Project 2025 What’s happening: Under Trump’s April 16, 2025 executive order, agencies are being forced to abandon secure, government-built systems and adopt “commercial solutions.” In reality, this is a handoff to Palantir, now aggregating data from the IRS, Social Security, Medicare, immigration, and banking systems into a single searchable database. This isn’t “efficiency.” It’s a digital authoritarian toolkit — giving one administration and one private company the ability to profile, target, and track nearly every American in real time. The counterintelligence and cybersecurity risks are enormous: As this centralization accelerates, Trump and DOGE are dismantling the very agencies meant to defend us: • CISA is being gutted • Cybersecurity and counterintelligence experts are being purged • Oversight bodies are being sidelined or eliminated This creates a massive attack surface and unprecedented national security vulnerabilities: • One exploit could leak or weaponize personal data of the entire U.S. population • One insider — handpicked for loyalty — could compromise systems meant to resist authoritarian abuse • Without firewalls, a bad actor in power could silence critics, retaliate against whistleblowers, or blackmail targets This is not hypothetical. It is the infrastructure of tyranny, being built in plain sight. Congress must act now: • Investigate DOGE, Project 2025, and all Palantir-related contracts and access • Block further implementation of the April 16 EO and restore data firewalls between agencies • Hold public hearings on the dismantling of CISA and counterintelligence infrastructure • Ban private surveillance firms from managing core government systems • Reinforce civil service protections to stop purges and tech-industry infiltration This isn’t about partisanship. It’s about whether our government continues to serve the people — or becomes a weapon for tech billionaires, religious nationalists, and political extremists. You have the power and duty to stop this. The Constitution is under attack from within. Act now.
