WSJ is reporting that the highly classified whistleblower complaint against DNI Tulsi Gabbard is related to a conversation intercepted last spring in which two foreign nationals discussed Jared Kushner. Release the Gabbard/Kushner file.

This is one of the best examples of questioning any Dem managed this week. Sharp, smart pointed questions, and then landing a sharp smart conclusion about the damage ICE and CBP have done to our country.
SLOTKIN: So the fact we have ICE agents saying out loud to people they're trying to arrest that 'we're gonna put you in a database,' they are making that up?
LYONS: We do not do that

🚨BREAKING: An election-denying former Donald Trump campaign staffer who was subpoenaed by the FBI over his role in the attempt to steal the 2020 election is now taking credit for writing the sweeping voter suppression bill passed by the House Wednesday that could disenfranchise millions.
Election denier involved in fake electors plot wrote much of SAVE America Act, Trump-aligned think tank claims
“I’m here to do everything I can to make this work,” Thomas Lane wrote in a December 2020 email to other organizers of the Trump campaign’s fake electoral plot in Arizona.

Epstein survivor Haley Robson: I’m so tired of having this administration just completely dismiss us. They’re supposed to be the party of, you know, family values and protecting children. And I just feel like if that’s the party you are, it seems like Thomas Massie is the only one showing up for it.

What are Republicans focused on today? Creating loopholes that allow weapons be sold without background checks, serial numbers, and basic accountability safeguards.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Let’s get real reforms at ICE, including making sure they can’t show up at polling places.
