I think there’s a song in this.

Exactly. Best would be to figure out how to reach a significant number of people in their districts and have them call.

Well, to be fair ( or maybe generous) my own understanding of Palantir is just developing so maybe theirs is too, but I plan to get in touch with them and see what their position on this bill is.

The smaller donations could be individual donations from employees within the company.

H 502 is in committee currently. House committee on oversight and government reform. Here is the list of committee members who received Palantir donations. As I see it H502 is about creating a surveillance state so it’s a hugely important bill.
Ro Khanna D $16,500
Raja Krishnamoorthi D $6,600

Oh thank you. I didn’t mean to make you do the work. But if you happen to find something…

Do you happen to know of any collated information about how senators and reps voted on anything related to Palantir?

Hi. I’m not understanding this chart. Is this information about who is receiving donations from Palantir or a Palantir data base? Thanks.

I was thinking about this Joe and Tracy anecdote from the supply chain crisis on gummy bears. Things are probably going to get really weird in a few weeks in unexpected ways:

Trump officials quietly move to reverse bans on toxic β€˜forever chemicals’ EPA bids to change chemical risk evaluations, which could expose public to higher levels of PFAS and other pollutants

Honestly, there should be little doubt that the Trump administration wants to kill us all.

I am tracking 3 separate cases where the government is violating court orders. The question now is whether judges find willfulness and hold officials in contempt.

No, but he never could. He’s not a terrible governor but he’s not a good communicator. He comes across as oily and supercilious. And now this podcast. Crazy. I can’t imagine what he’s thinking.

Do something about this. Immediately. If we can’t protest all is lost.
