I am extremely alarmed by President Trump’s new police state executive order - Stopping Waste, Fraud, and Abuse by Eliminating Information Silos - which gives his agency heads “full and prompt access to all unclassified agency records, data, software systems, and information technology systems”, including “authorizing and facilitating both the intra- and inter-agency sharing and consolidation of unclassified agency records.” Moreover, “Agency Heads shall take all necessary steps, to the maximum extent consistent with law, to ensure the Federal Government has unfettered access to comprehensive data from all State programs that receive Federal funding, including, as appropriate, data generated by those programs but maintained in third-party databases.” Please do all in your power to stop this, including by very vocally and publicly condemning the illegality and the damage this would cause everyday Americans by destroying their privacy and threatening their security. This administration needs to be strongly and loudly checked and I believe it will falter in the combined faces of judicial, legislative, and public challenges.
