ICYMI❗️: A new Department of Homeland Security Inspector General report lays out, in granular detail, just how many chances the Secret Service had to stop Thomas Crooks before he opened fire on President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. Among the findings: a counter-drone operator was searching the internet for the shooter's rooftop location as bullets were being fired, and 102 separate radio transmissions from local police about the gunman never reached Trump's protective detail.

NEW🚨: Two ongoing court cases in Washington, D.C. are raising the same question about the FBI: what happens when an agency would rather not explain itself? In one, the New Civil Liberties Alliance is fighting to force disclosure of FBI payments to social media platforms, including more than $3 million to X, that the Bureau refuses to even search records for. In the other, Judicial Watch and Trump ally Michael Caputo are asking a judge to unseal a November 2024 warrant that authorized the government to seize the entire contents of Caputo's Google account, kept secret from him for over a year.

ICYMI❗️: The House Oversight declassification task force put the CIA's MKULTRA program back on the record Tuesday, and the message from the witness table was blunt. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (@realannapaulina): "This hearing is about the crimes committed by the CIA against American citizens, and the decades of secrecy used to conceal them." What we know from the surviving records: — 149 subprojects across 80 institutions — CIA Director Helms personally ordered the files burned in 1973 — The head of the CIA's own records center protested in writing and was overruled — Nobody went to prison — No victim was ever compensated Tom O'Neill testified he believes the CIA misled Congress in 1977 when it called MKULTRA a failure. The hearing also produced its sharpest exchange when a witness was asked whether evolved MKULTRA techniques could explain recent political violence, naming Butler and the Kirk assassination. He said he couldn't know, but that capabilities developed under the program "have evolved to be much more effective now, so anything is possible." FULL STORY👇(next post)
