  You are being watched. This is not conspiratorial thinking. From your movements to your email, your social media posts to your search history, the government's mass surveillance apparatus has its eyes on you from every angle. Nearly all of this happens without a warrant.    The surveillance state has been growing for decades, under the direction of both Democratic and Republican administrations. And with the introduction of AI being added to the mix, things are on track to get worse — exponentially worse. AI is supercharging the government’s capabilities, making it extraordinarily easy for it to track and profile you without your knowledge.   Your privacy is under serious threat.     POGO has long been advocating for and advancing reform to put guardrails on the surveillance state. So you can go where you want, speak to whom you want, think and read and believe what you want, without the fear of being watched.   Confirmation proceedings for Pres...

Last night, Donald was back on his social media soapbox, where he laid into Cuellar in an unhinged rant, complete with an absolutely pitch-perfect self-own, calling the fraudster "a weak and incompetent version of me." We couldn't agree more, actually. Take Action: Demand Trump restore funding for kids’ cancer researc...

Thank you for making this work possible. No corporation and no billionaire funds this movement. So settle in: what follows is four wins the big networks skipped—brought to you by a newsroom that answers to no one but readers like you. You already power this. If you want to push it further, there are two ways to fund the next edition: gift a subscription to someone who could use a little hope, or upgrade to become a founding member today. They Buried The Epstein Files. New Mexico Brought A Shovel. A prosecutor went around the DOJ, a judge voided Trump’s $1.8 billion scheme—and that’s just the start Scott Dworkin Jul 14 Come sit with me a minute—because what’s in this edition is exactly the kind of thing the regime works hardest to keep quiet. They want you to believe nothing can be done. That the fix is in, the fight is lost, and you might as well look away. Today is the proof that it’s a lie. The regime is losing—out loud, on the record—and almost nobody is telling you. Before you read...
