Democrats and Republicans who care about democracy would be wise to pay attention to her work!" - Michael Steele Former Republican National Committee Chair

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Fauci worked with politicized career leadership in the Intelligence Community (IC) to suppress the truth about his actions, the virus lab-leak origins, and his role in directing U.S. funding for this dangerous research that caused immeasurable harm and countless lost lives. These documents expose Fauc's direct role in influencing and manipulating IC assessments on COVID-19, and how Fauci lied to Congress in 2024, when under oath he denied knowledge of or participation in discussions with intelligence officials about viral research. The materials released today are a result of DNI Gabbard's yearlong declassification review in support of President Trump's maximum transparency mandate.

The report reads: The 2010 midterms, converging with lingering economic stresses and resentment towards Wall Street, the rise of the Tea Party, and metastasizing birtherism resulted in sweeping losses for Democrats. The simultaneous disinvestment in state Democratic parties at the start of the Obama presidency contributed to this 2010 mid-term "shellacking.” Democrats lost seven seats in the Senate (including President Obama's former seat in Illinois), and 63 seats in the House, giving Republicans the majority, six governors, and twenty state legislative chambers. The losses in the states - coinciding with the decennial Census - have had lasting repercussions. With many Republican trifectas in place, Democrats were on the wrong side of severe partisan gerrymandering at the state legislative and federal levels in 2012. Subsequent federal court decisions have enabled and encouraged partisan gerrymandering, stripping even the idea of competitiveness out of the broader electoral and civic ecosystem. Consequently, Democrats have invested less and less in what is now seen as non-competitive terrain, compounding and reinforcing partisan disadvantages in many states and jurisdictions.

CIA Whistleblower: Fauci Led Multi-Agency CoverUp of COVID Lab Leak Evidence "Dr. Fauci's role in the cover-up was intentional," said James E. Erdman IlI, a senior operations officer for the CIA.

By Thomas L. Friedman Opinion Columnist To think clearly about Middle East wars, you need to hold multiple thoughts in your head at the same time. It's a complicated, kaleidoscopic region where religion, oil, tribal politics and great power politics interweave in every major story. If you are looking for a black-and-white narrative, you might want to take up checkers. So, here are my four thoughts on Iran - at least for today. First, I hope this effort to topple the clerical regime in Tehran succeeds. It is a regime that murders its people, destabilizes its neighbors and has destroyed a great civilization. There is no single event that would do more to put the whole Middle East on a more decent, inclusive trajectory than the replacement of Tehran's Islamic regime with a leadership focused exclusively on enabling the people of Iran to realize their full potential with a real voice in their own future.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE HHS Leaders Commend the American Society of Plastic Surgeons for Disavowing Pediatric Sex-Rejecting Procedures WASHINGTON-FEBRUARY 3, 2026—U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) leadership today issued statements commending the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) for protecting children from harmful sex-rejecting procedures following ASPS's release of its position statement PDE] disavowing these treatments for minors with gender dysphoria. Relying in part on the HHS report Treatment for Pediatric Gender Dysphoria: Review of Evidence and Best Practices, ASPS declared the evidence base supporting sex-rejecting procedures to be "low quality/low certainty" The ASPS position statement finds that "there is insufficient evidence demonstrating a favorable risk-benefit ratio for the pathway of gender-related endocrine and surgical interventions in children and adolescents." "We commend the American Society of Plastic Surgeons for standing up to the overmedicalization lobby and defending sound science," Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. said. "By taking this stand, they are helping protect future generations of American children from irreversible harm." "Today marks another victory for biological truth in the Trump administration," said Deputy Health and Human Services Secretary Jim O'Neill. "The American Society of Plastic Surgeons has set the scientific and medical standard for all provider groups to follow." "When the medical ethics textbooks of the future are written, they'll look back on sex-rejecting procedures for minors the way we look back on lobotomies," said Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Administrator Mehmet Oz, MD. "I applaud the American Society of Plastic Surgeons for placing itself on the right side of history by opposing these dangerous, unscientific experiments." "Almost daily, another major hospital system in America is ending the tragic and irreversible practice of sex-rejecting procedures…

Don't delete this until you read it!! External Inbox James Carville 5:33PM to me v Unsubscribe ATTENTION DEMOCRATS! I'll get right to the point: House Democrats' FIRST End-of-Month Deadline of the Election Year is just 2 DAYS away. And I just heard Trump is sittin' on a $300 MILLION war chest to defend his fragile majority. I shouldn't have to tell you what kind of damage this could do to our chances of flipping the House. We'll get absolutely shellacked if we can't compete! So I'm calling for 18,593 more grassroots Democrats to join me and donate to the DCCC before the End-of-Month Deadline to help WIN a House Majority and slap the brakes on this out-of-control White House. Can Democrats count on your $3 right now?

Sen. Cortez Masto on Threads: Here's the deal: We should not abolish ICE. But they don't need an extra $75 billion. Instead, that funding should be used to help local police departments hire and train 200,000 officers and invest in proven public safety across the country. 1/2 Sharing a story: ICE funding jumped $75 billion. Here's my plan to redirect the windfall. Federal immigration enforcement needs to be targeted, humane and just. My Senate colleagues and I owe Americans policies that work.
