FBI whistleblower says White House pushed unconstitutional probe of protesters

The FBI was ordered to investigate Californians exercising their First Amendment rights. Ordered by the Trump White House. And federal resources were diverted from cases involving drug trafficking and violent crime in order to further the administration’s cruel agenda.

The former analyst says supervisors were told not to put things in writing, so many of the directives came in face-to-face meetings.

A father dropping his daughter off at college. Dozens more Californians separated from their families. This administration is not done pushing their destructive immigration agenda, backed by court-allowed racial profiling, and utilizing ICE agents armed to the teeth by your tax dollars.

I hope for the sake of our sailors, Marines, soldiers, guardians and airmen that this new deployment of Californians does not repeat the hardships of the Abraham Lincoln.⁩⁩

Only last week, the USS Theodore Roosevelt and its carrier strike group left San Diego. All signs point to its crew being relief for a beleaguered force still deployed in the Middle East.

Not just for the sake of the higher costs this war has imposed on the American people, but for the sake of those servicemembers who have paid an even higher price. Those who have been asked to miss holidays, birthdays, births and weddings for nearly a year in order to sustain this war of choice.

As we welcome them home today, and we hear more of those stories of hardship and sacrifice, I hope these heavy burdens resonate through the halls of the White House and the Pentagon. With no clear objective and no measurable progress, this war must end.

The crew of the Abraham Lincoln has faced long and grueling shifts, diminished supplies and even mental health crises. Those burdens of such a long deployment have been shouldered by the crew and their families back in San Diego.

In the time these men and women were deployed as the tip of the spear in the Iran war, they worked tirelessly. And that service took a heavy toll – a price we have come to know through harrowing stories shared by family members and even the military's own leadership.

And today, for the first time in 10 months, they return home. They hug loved ones. They sleep out of harm's way.

321 days. That's how long the USS Abraham Lincoln and its thousands of servicemembers have been away from their families and their home port of San Diego.

With the support of the White House and both sides of the aisle, and from the unions and the moviemakers who deliver the magic to our theaters, I am hopeful we can finally get this done.

Sen. Adam Schiff @schiff.senate.gov · 07/10/2026

We have never been closer to passing a federal film tax incentive and bringing the movie magic back to America. Nowhere will that be felt more than in the backyard of California’s film and television industry, Los Angeles County.

Ever the lackey, Kash Patel takes his marching orders from the White House, and those orders include trying to investigate and prosecute an imaginary grand conspiracy against the President. Restoring trust in the DOJ and FBI will take years.

Hollywood Unions Warn of 25-Year Decline in U.S. Production Market Share

The share of production spending by major U.S. studios on movies filmed in the United States has declined from 74% to 42% over the past quarter century. This is why Congress needs to pass my bipartisan film tax incentive proposal with Sen. Tim Scott. We need to act now before it's too late.

variety.com

A coalition of Hollywood unions issued a report Monday finding that the U.S. has lost significant market share in film and TV production since 2000.

The President says the Iran war will end "very soon." How many times have we heard that promise? And if it means attacks on two major American cities in the process, he is not troubled by the cost.

You spoke out, and he backed down. Now let’s see the proof this illegal waste of your taxes is over for good. And that he pays the money back. We don’t want the U.S. taxpayers to be the latest contractors to get stiffed.

Sen. Tim Scott touts federal film tax credit as a blue-collar jobs bill

I’m proud to lead Congress's first push for a federal film tax credit alongside Senator Tim Scott. Our bill will create thousands of jobs and reassert the United States' leadership in film and TV production. There’s no better partner to have in this fight than Senator Scott.
