DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - Steve Schmidt co-founded the Lincoln Project. Raised ~$65M. Finances called under question when the money went to founders' consulting firms. AOC called it "scam territory." Co-founder John Weaver allegedly soliciting young men. Schmidt now runs Save America Movement ... same structure.

DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - GTFO ICE is a coalition of three orgs:
1. DEFIANCE dot org : Miles Taylor + Xander Schultz
2. Save America Movement : Steve Schmidt (yes, of the Lincoln Project)
3. Project Salt Box

DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - Taylor's security clearance was suspended by presidential memorandum in April 2025. Trump called his conduct "treasonous." Five months later, Taylor launched DEFIANCE dot org. Five months after that... GTFO ICE.

DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - BREAKING: Miles Taylor: "Anonymous," former DHS Chief of Staff, Google security executive launched a website called GTFO ICE that collects your full name, email, phone number, and zip code to join an anti-ICE "rapid response network." And publishes the user infromation via a public API.
17,662 people have signed up.
The sign-up data is exposed on a public REST API. No true authentication. No rate limiting. Full records: names, emails, phone numbers, zip codes, timestamps.
The man who ran the third-largest federal department (250,000 employees, $60 billion budget) who oversaw election security architecture and led counterterrorism operations, then served as Google's Head of National Security Policy...
...can't secure a sign-up form. But he does milk hundreds of thousands of NGO dollars on these credentials. While freeloading off his fame as the person who wrote the infamous NYT article "I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration."
And despite me pinging @MilesTaylorUSA about this 12 hours ago, the REST API is still wide open and exposed as of now. Everything has been turned over to FBI, HSI, ICE, and more agencies.
As always, patience as I pull together the thread.

DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - Convenience. And incompetence.
But they can’t plead ignorance with Miles Taylor’s name on the project.

DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - I didn’t “see” anything. I reported a leak, as journalists do. But the site itself was heavily promoted across major channels the entire week.

Thank you @DataRepublican!
Did you see any other state or local officials on the list?

DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - Krasner was listed as a launch partner. I don’t know anything other than that.

DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - Yeah. They have a whole bunch of legal obligations to fulfill in the wake of such an exposure. They aren’t having a good weekend.
What they did wasn’t just unsecured; they actively went of their way to build a tool to expose PII information. That puts it on an order of magnitude worse than any other leak I’ve seen.
