fyi, I take it this FOI re: palantir is cause for concern too?
I'm not familiar with FOI requests @oaf, but this is not looking good to me - you?

TRUMP ADMINISTRATION ATTACK ON THE FREE PRESS AND THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO KNOW
Mastodon Post

It seems abundantly clear to me that Trump and his staff just do things without any regard to whether or not those things are legal and constitutional. Then the people who are abused by these practices have to go to court to PROVE that what the Trump administration is doing is illegal. It is perfectly sociopathic.
