Today, CAIR sent a letter to Texas Governor Greg Abbott reminding him that we beat him in federal court the last three times he tried to shred the First Amendment to protect the Israeli government from criticism. And we are prepared to, God willing, to do it again. tinyurl.com/mry6d92s

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott designated the Council on American-Islamic Relations and the Muslim Brotherhood as foreign terrorist and transnational criminal organizations Tuesday.

The Senate has adjourned until 10 am on Wednesday. That means no final action tonight on the Epstein Files bill. The bill papers are still on the House side of the Capitol.

You might not have caught what just happened on the Senate floor, but the Senate just “deemed as passed” the Epstein resolution. That means as soon as it arrives from the House, it automatically passes the Senate (with no amendments) and heads to the President’s desk. Wow.

A federal judge on Tuesday ordered several Texas school districts to remove Ten Commandments displays from classrooms, issuing the ruling in a lawsuit brought by families who argue the postings violate the Constitution's ban on government-endorsed religion.

My statement on Trump’s defense of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman after he was asked about the murder of journalist and Northern Virginia resident Jamal Khashoggi:

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. www.washingtonpost.com/world/nation...

For Trump, this is just "things happen"... Killing Khashoggi: How a Brutal Saudi Hit Job Unfolded Our video investigation follows the movements of the 15-man Saudi hit team that killed and dismembered the journalist Jamal Khashoggi www.nytimes.com/video/world/...

@washingtonpost.com editorial board: Trump dishonored Khashoggi and "showed nothing but debility. No doubt other dictators took note...Forgetting Mohammed’s brutality and Khashoggi’s warnings is a choice, and Trump made the wrong one." Gift link🎁 wapo.st/4a02JnI

“Khashoggi walked into the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on October 2, 2018. He never walked out. 15 Saudi agents killed him, cut up his body, and got rid of it in some way we still don’t know. And on Tuesday, the President of the United States scolded a reporter for being rude enough to mention it.”

A reminder that Bob Woodward sat on this information for months so it could go in his book.

"Mr. Khashoggi’s death was a tragedy and a crime. His life and work deserve truth, transparency, and unwavering recognition of the principles he upheld." Read our full statement on President Trump's remarks on the murder of Jamal Khashoggi at the link: www.press.org/newsroom/nat...

Absolute insanity putting on a massive welcome ceremony including a flyover for the guy that’s responsible for the murder of Jamal Khashoggi and the government responsible for 9/11

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered. He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here : www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/glo...

Trump on Jamal Khashoggi: You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman…Whether you like him or don't, things happen. But he[MBS] knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest

Here's a classic one. Anthropic is going to spend $30 billion on Azure. And with the deal, both Microsoft and Nvidia are both investing in Anthropic

MSFT/NVDA partnership with Anthropic. - NVDA $10bn stake in Anthropic - MSFT $5bn stake in Anthropic - Anthropic commits to buy $30bn of Azure compute (initially 1GW of Grace Blackwell/Vera Rubin) - Claude to be available across Copilot and only frontier model on all 3 major clouds

Billionaires handing money back and forth, no one creating anything except carbon in the air. Anthropic buys Nvidia chips; Nvidia gives Anthropic billions to buy even more chips; Microsoft gives Anthropic billions, which Anthropic spends on Microsoft Azure, run by Nvidia, etc. An ouroboros of shit.

Epstein survivor Haley Robson: "To the President of the United States of America, I want to send a clear message to you…I can't help to be skeptical of what [your] agenda is…I am traumatized. I am not stupid. You have put us through so much stress…It's not right."

The House has easily approved a bill to force the release of the Epstein Files. Rep. Clay Higgins R-LA was the only 'No' vote. The final vote was 427-1.

The House is scheduled to vote Tuesday on the Epstein Files resolution. It will need a two-thirds super majority to pass under 'suspension of the rules.'

🚨BREAKING: A panel of three federal judges ruled to block Texas from using its new racially gerrymandered congressional map in the upcoming 2026 election — dealing a significant blow to President Donald Trump’s national effort to rig the 2026 election by creating more Republican congressional seats.

Trump says 'we'll be selling' F-35s to Saudi Arabia. Just coincidentally, Trump Org is in talks that could bring a Trump-branded property to one of Saudi Arabia’s largest government-owned real estate developments www.reuters.com/world/middle...

NYT: “Tennessee judge temporarily blocked deployment of the National Guard in Memphis, siding with lawmakers that @GovBillLee overstepped his constitutional authority” Doesn’t the Republican-appointed judge know violating the constitution is Lee’s thing? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/17/u...

BREAKING: We just won a court order to block the unlawful National Guard deployment to Memphis. President Trump’s attempt to militarize our cities and communities is unlawful. We’re grateful that the court upheld the rule of law and protected the American people in Tennessee.

JUST IN: Judge Sooknanan says the expansion of the SAVE system by DHS is probably illegal but can't immediately block it because plaintiffs failed to show irreparable harm. She set an expedited schedule instead. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

People are rising up and teaching each other how to resist and fight back, and it’s working. And yeah, we’re seeing a whole lot of stupid ICE agents stumbling around like they own the place. You cannot occupy a city and expect silence. The people who live there always answer back.

JUST IN: A federal judge has thrown out DOJ’s lawsuit to compel NY to aid in immigration arrests at state courthouses. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Dear ICE: They don't let you wear a mask in your mug shot.
