Some current & former #Palantir employees have been unnerved by the work. The company risks becoming the face of #Trump’s political agenda, 4 employees said, & could be vulnerable if #data on Americans is breached or hacked. Several tried to distance the company from the efforts, saying any decisions about a merged database of personal #information rest w/Trump & not the firm.

In March, #Trump signed an #ExecutiveOrder calling for the #FederalGovernment to share #data across agencies, raising questions over whether he might compile a master list of personal #information on Americans that could give him untold #surveillance #power.

Trump has not publicly talked about the effort since. But behind the scenes, ofcls have quietly put technological building blocks into place to enable his plan.

"Russia launched a satellite into low Earth orbit that the United States assesses is likely a counterspace weapon presumably capable of attacking other satellites in low Earth orbit," U.S. Ambassador Robert Wood said at a meeting of the U.N.

The conflict within #PeteHegseth’s inner circle persists even after he purged several political appointees in April & attempts to portray a sense of unity among his remaining *brain trust*🤣.
