It is deeply concerning that the Trump administration has expanded Palantir's work across federal agencies, enabling the potential compilation of massive amounts of personal data on American citizens without their consent. The executive order to share data across agencies raises alarming privacy and civil liberties issues. Centralizing such vast troves of sensitive information creates a severe risk of abuse of power and unconstitutional surveillance. The $113 million in federal contracts awarded to Palantir, along with discussions to bring their Foundry data analysis product to agencies like Social Security and the IRS, paves the way for creating detailed profiles on every American. This could include bank accounts, student debt, medical records, and disability status - an unacceptable breach of privacy. Palantir's technology makes it alarmingly easy to merge personal data from disparate sources into comprehensive dossiers without citizens' knowledge or consent. This represents a fundamental threat to civil liberties that could enable discrimination, persecution, and chilling of free speech. I urge you to take immediate action to halt Palantir's expansion across federal agencies and revoke the Trump administration's authorizations enabling this disturbing, undemocratic dragnet surveillance of the American people. Safeguarding privacy, due process, and constitutional rights must be a paramount priority. Millions of your constituents are relying on you to protect their fundamental freedoms from this egregious overreach.
