The Trump administration is working with private companies like Palantir to create detailed reports on every American, which could help them weaponize our personal information in their quest to deport immigrants and punish critics. This is a huge threat to our constitutional rights.

Blenheim Palace. Fascinating day out History of the place is wild Among the standout nuggets; one Duke’s second wife - after a loveless marriage to a Vanderbilt for $100m dowry - ate dinner with a revolver by her side and only left the castle when the Duke turned off all the utilities 🤯
