The U.S. government just reinstated a pricey surveillance toy that hops into your encrypted chats—and they did it with a shrug, no questions asked.

So, guess what—ICE gets its favorite toy back! The Trump administration, ever the champion of consistency, dusted off that $2 million spyware contract with Paragon Solutions, the Israeli outfit behind the oh-so-ethical Graphite software. Remember how Biden hit the pause button over worries about misuse and sneaky surveillance? Well, that pause is now officially… unpaused.

one of the world's prettiest spyware tools. It’ll do everything—hack your WhatsApp, read your Signal messages, access your cloud backups, even turn your phone into a listening device (because who needs walls or windows anymore?)

And yes—this tool has been busy in Europe, targeting journalists, migrant-rights defenders, and even allies of the Pope. But hey, that was overseas—so no big deal, right?

Now that Paragon is backed by a U.S. investor and cozy with ex-CIA folks, it's magically “domestic.” That means the Trump admin gave ICE the green light: “Surveillance? Absolutely. No oversight? Even better.”

Only a fool believed they ever stopped. There's a reason why the US gives Isreal something like $400,000,000 in weapons every year. There's a reason why 30% of politicians are dual citizens, when most are clearly not Jewish. The Cia you say? Yes the Cia is there often. Very often, and Mossad comr to America regularly. anything too messy for out Gov. To do to its own citizens, Mossad has it covered. In Israel when someone needs disappeared the Cia drops in and both groups are flying back out of the country before the bodies even get cold

This mass survalence , new restrictive laws, uncomfortable changes are not good

The rising costs of housing don't help either
