Congresspeople work for the public. Theyโ€™re literally public servants. Ergo: the documents they produce and hold belong to us, the people.

Just a reminder to all Americans:

Documents created by, and in possession of, government agencies, belong to the citizens of the United States.

We paid for them to be produced.

Theyโ€™re ours.

Never forget that.

CIA concludes Saudi crown prince ordered Jamal Khashoggiโ€™s assassination Audio recordings, intercepted phone calls and other intelligence link Mohammed bin Salman to killing that Saudis say was conducted by rogue elements.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

'Black box in which to disappear people': Detainees describe ICE facility in lawsuit ICE detainees have filed a lawsuit against Homeland Security saying conditions they were held in were aimed at "coercing" them to leave the country.

A federal lawsuit describes an ICE facility in the Chicago suburbs as โ€œfilthyโ€ and โ€œcruel.โ€ Two detainees named in the case are expected today in court where they hope a judge will order ICE to improve conditions at the site. @usatoday.com

Opinion | Nick Fuentes Was Charlie Kirkโ€™s Bitter Enemy. Now Heโ€™s Becoming His Successor.

โ€œWithin certain MAGA circles, to criticize someone for being too racist or reactionary is a betrayal, signaling an acceptance of the very liberal morality that the movementโ€™s vanguard seeks to destroy.โ€

Far right text messages leak twice in one month. Is it a sign of a rise in extremism? USA TODAY's Will Carless gives his analysis of recent leaked text messages from Republican Party members that have antisemitic and racist language.

My (video) analysis of two high-profile scandals in the last week or so involving members of the GOP sending racist and/or anti-Semitic text messages.

This is how the far-right speaks to itself:

Anyone know the answer to this?

The federal government is shut down. California is being hit disproportionately by the shutdown

Can the state withhold federal taxes in retaliation?

Genuine question: If President Trump is withholding congressionally approved funds for Democratic states like California, can those states (many of which send more to the federal govt. than they receive) โ€œwithholdโ€ their federal taxes and not send them to DC? @gavinnewsom.bsky.social

This concept underpinned organizations like the constitutional sheriffs association.

Where are they now?

As federal troops act almost without impunity in Americaโ€™s cities, itโ€™s worth noting that, not long ago, many conservatives claimed that sheriffs and local police chiefs should have ultimate legal jurisdiction โ€” not the US government.

This was literally Stewart Rhodes' main legal defense:

That he thought the President was about to make it legal to go and get the guns so his militia could storm the Capitol and take charge.

For context: When a group of protestors stormed the US Capitol on Jan. 6, a crew of Oath Keepers was standing by, waiting for Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act so they could go get their stash of weapons, hidden across the Potomac.

This is far from normal.

Project 2025 decried as racist. Some contributors have trail of racist writings, activity Project 2025, a widely criticized policy document, is a conservative blueprint for a second Trump term.

As the President meets with the architect of #Project2025, it's worth revisiting my investigation from last year which found several of the plan's authors have a trail of racist and white supremacist activity:

I had a pretty serious surfing accident a few weeks ago.

Had to be stretchered to an ambulance and taken to hospital. I was in hospital for about 3 hours.

I have insurance, so I was covered.

The cost?

Oh. It was $127,497.

Trump expected to announce 'answer' to autism, blame Tylenol: Live updates Trump is expected to unveil his 'answer' to autism by blaming the use of Tylenol by pregnant women, which the company denies.

"Trump cited โ€œa rumorโ€ that no people in Cuba have autism" ...

"There's a rumor - and I don't know if it's so or not - that Cuba, they don't have Tylenol because they don't have the money for Tylenol. And they have virtually no autism. OK?"
