Summary

Attorney General Pam Bondi opens a grand jury investigation into the Russiagate hoax, following a criminal referral from DNI Tulsi Gabbard accusing Obama-era officials of fabricating intel to sabotage the Trump transition. Texas Democrats abandon their posts and flee to blue states to block a redistricting vote that would add five GOP seats. A Stanford professor uncovers how a network of Democrat PACs raised nearly $700 million using frantic fundraising texts, only for 98% of it to be siphoned off to consultants, salaries, and the firm behind the scheme. With CBS’s ratings tanking and a merger set to finalize this week, Gayle King faces growing pressure as new leadership vows to dismantle the network’s DEI agenda and steer the morning show away from woke programming.
