James Comer is under fire after a memo revealed Republicans are shifting away from traditional hearings on the Epstein Files. Instead of formal proceedings, the committee is moving to “roundtables”—informal sessions with no authority. Witnesses are not even required to be under oath.

Screenshot of an X.com post by Brian Allen (@allenanalysis, 5h) claiming members of Congress set aside about $800 million in bonuses for ICE agents with payouts reportedly up to about $44,000, contrasting it with an average American bonus of around $2,500. The post criticizes priorities and includes a video thumbnail of a congressional hearing room with lawmakers seated at desks.

Trump's arrest of Don Lemon shows that his "pivot" is an utter farce. As legal experts tell me, this looks appallingly corrupt. Indeed, it's likely this is all about sending a message that Trump isn't deescalating in the slightest. New piece with fresh details here: newrepublic.com/article/2059...

It’s very notable that Stephen Miller’s wife is going out of her way to highlight these comments. Stephen Miller smeared Alex Pretti—calling him a “domestic terrorist” and “assassin” to justify his murder. Now Katie Miller and her husband are trying to throw others under the bus.
Screenshot of a post on X by Katie Miller (@KatieMiller), verified account. The post displays a quoted news excerpt that reads:

“Between the lines: Miller said the Minnesota operation didn’t follow the guidelines established by the White House in the aftermath of the Jan. 7 shooting of another Minneapolis demonstrator, Renee Good.

• Specifically, Miller said, the squads of CBP agents were supposed to be divided between officers engaged in the arrests of specifically targeted ‘criminal aliens’ and other officers in charge of crowd control to keep ‘agitators’ from interfering.

• ‘We are examining why CBP was not following that protocol,’ he said.”

Below the post are engagement details showing the time and date “2:13 PM · 1/27/26,” approximately “354K Views,” and visible engagement counts including replies, reposts, likes, and bookmarks.
