Initially created for counterterrorism, police fusion centers have gained “extremely wide jurisdiction," says @brennancenter.org's @faizapatel.bsky.social. With “access to broader pools of information" & "very few rules governing how that information is used.” #ConnectWithJacob
NEW: The federal government has your data — and there's not much you can do about it
Police fusion centers are intelligence hubs created after 9/11 to share information among local police, the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and other federal agencies. Brennan Center’s Faiz ...

America’s police fusion centers collect our personal data, and that data flows to the federal government. The collaboration is structural. It runs on autopilot. And the infrastructure is open to abuse. So why are democratic states allowing it? We asked them #ConnectWithJacob

"There is a country in the Middle East, whose name begins with an 'I' that has not just nuclear power, but nuclear weapons... Israel. It doesn't allow inspectors in." Nice to be back on @msnownews.bsky.social, with @velshi.com, discussing Israel's actual nukes vs Iran's imaginary ones.
Saudi Arabia will "have domestic problems from people who say, 'How can you make a deal (with Israel)?'" says @mehdirhasan.bsky.social. "'You've said that your red line is Palestinian statehood, but you actually want nuclear power and trade with Israel more than you want that.'"
I joined @velshi.com on @ms.now's The 11th Hour to share my thoughts on the recently signed U.S.-Saudi civilian nuclear cooperation agreement. Listen to my discussion with Ali beginning at 7:45 open.spotify.com/episode/1D3n...

The path for control of the Senate runs through Georgia, where Jon Ossoff is looking to hold his seat against "election denying bigot" Republican Mike Collins. Ossoff says the campaign feels "a lot of momentum," but it's an "absolutely a competitive race."
After her shock primary win Tuesday, @melatkirosco.bsky.social tells @velshi.com, "Not only is the money in our politics preventing us from passing the legislation that would make a meaningful difference for our working families, but that we don't even need it to begin with."

The Supreme Court just cleared the way for political parties to spend unlimited sums on campaigns. Former FEC Commissioner Ellen Weintraub tells Ali Velshi that this flood of money in politics "does not reflect the will of the people; it does not reflect the common sense of the people."
@velshi.com warns Trump's setback at the Supreme Court, which rejected his order ending birthright citizenship, reveals vulnerabilities that can be exploited and justices who can be swayed.

I joined Ali Velshi on @ms.now's 11th Hour to discuss the recent memorandum of understanding with Iran. One item that is not included in the MOU, but must be a priority during negotiations, is ensuring inspectors can gain access beyond the declared nuclear sites.
Trump signs MOU that achieves none of his goals in Iran
The president's so-called "Trump Deal" with Iran looks a lot like he's losing a war and stamping his name on it. Former Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz, who was instrumental in negotiating the JCPOA, jo...
