What is Donald Trump hiding? As Congress, we have the Constitutional authority to conduct oversight that informs legislation and ensure we have a government that actually works for the people. We will not be intimidated by the White House. https://t.co/b8kgwbmRqL

Representative Garcia Responds to White House Letter

White House Counsel’s Office Sends Letter to Representative Garcia Putting the Incoming Oversight Chair on Written Notice
White House Counsel Will Scharf sends a characteristically measured and thoughtful letter to incoming House Oversight Chair Robert Garcia. Garcia has made several outlandish statements that extend beyond the traditional oversight role. And Scharf explains the problem with that https://t.co/n3gZmc4r5p

… 'punish' those investigated are indefensible." Congress, it says, cannot use investigations "to exercise powers of criminal prosecution assigned to the Executive and the Judiciary."The White House Counsel's Office has now put the incoming Oversight Chair on written notice, and the letter goes straight to the controlling law. Quoting the Supreme Court in Watkins, investigations "conducted solely for the personal aggrandizement of the investigators or to 'punish' those investigated are indefensible." Congress, it says, cannot use investigations "to exercise powers of criminal prosecution assigned to the Executive and the Judiciary." That is the heart of what I've been calling Silly Subpoena Season. "Lawyer up" is not the language of legislating. It's the language of a unchecked prosecutor. And when members brag about handing out subpoenas like "candy" and "Mardi Gras beads," as the letter notes, they are building the record a court will read later when it asks whether a subpoena serves a valid legislative purpose. Mazars tells courts to look hard at exactly that, and at breadth, when Congress comes after the President's information. Don't misread the letter as a refusal to deal. It's the opening move in the accommodation process, which is the Constitution's actual structural answer here. Name the legislation you're considering, tailor the request to it, and negotiate. If that fails, the fight belongs in a civil case. What it doesn't belong in is a grand jury. That's why Licavoli has to go and why the Navarro case matters now. Oversight is a serious constitutional power. A subpoena is a tool for legislating, not a party favor or a frivolous festival bead. @RealPNavarro

The New York Times Knew This, but Lied
The New York Times incorrectly reported that “Mr. Trump called into the premier of a C-Span show, APPARENTLY WITHOUT NOTICE.” This is WRONG. It was a fully scheduled call, as a favor to C-Span, set up through White House Communications. It was done at C-Span’s request, not mine. The Times knew this, but lied, in order to demean - But this is the least of their lies!

Van Jones Bragged on CNN About a Secret Operation Called the “American Accountability Network”
… But what they didn’t tell you is that an economic boom was emerging.Van Jones just ADMITTED exactly how the Democrats tricked the American people leading up to the midterms. The Democrats needed you to believe that the economy under Trump was historically terrible. So they screamed “affordability” as often as they could. Yes, things were rough. But what they didn’t tell you is that an economic boom was emerging. As @VDHanson explained on my show last week, 165,000 new jobs were just announced. The poverty rate is at an all-time low at 10.2%. The per capita family income is $87,000, a new record. The GDP was just revised at 3.4, and the Atlanta Fed said it’ll be 5 by the end of the year. The stock market was also 20,000 points higher and income was $14,000 higher than it was during the 2022 midterms when Biden stopped the red wave. During that election, inflation was at a record of 9.1% and gas prices were about the same as they are now. That’s the honest truth: Looking at the metrics, Trump’s 2026 economy is BETTER or THE SAME as in 2022 under Biden. But in 2022, the media didn’t focus on the economy. They insisted Biden did a great job getting us out of the COVID era and the high gas prices due to the Ukraine war were worth it. This time around, Van Jones bragged on CNN that a secret operation called the “American Accountability Network” coordinated tens of thousands of real people to blast hundreds of millions of targeted posts across social media to con the American people into believing the economy was in total ruin. And he wanted CNN viewers to know that they shouldn’t be worried: he was “given permission” to reveal this secret weapon! Um, BY WHO? Who told him that it’s okay to reveal and brag about how the Democrats lied to the American people?

House Republicans Kill Representative Massie’s Impeachment Resolution

Yes!

By referring it to the still GOP controlled committee, it will go nowhere. But you can expect this to get revisited once Dems take control of the House.

Maine’s Elections
… voters haven't lived in Maine since CHILDHOOD!TWO MAINE REPUBLICANS APPEARED TO WIN... THEN CAME THE OVERSEAS BALLOTS! 🗳️ Steve Robinson, editor of The Maine Wire, joined me with some eyebrow-raising details about Maine's election. He says overseas ballots reversed the apparent outcome in at least TWO races. And some voters haven't lived in Maine since CHILDHOOD! Meanwhile, Paul LePage managed to flip a congressional seat while much of the state swung dramatically blue. What's really happening with Maine's elections, and who's keeping an eye on the process? Steve and I dug into these serious questions on "Early Bird With Ed Martin," on @RealAmVoice! WATCH! 👇

How Can a Texas County Have More Ballots in an Election Than Adult Citizens That Live There?
… purging them each 30 days by comparing to the US Postal Change of Address Database as required by Texas Law Code.This is how they do it.
— Lara Logan (@laralogan) November 10, 2026
-People that have moved out of their last registered address, out of town, county, state, country and/or dead
THIS becomes the pool of names from which they draw to create ballots...they estimate how many ballots they will need to vote to get their Democrats elected.
How do we know this: It is public record. We call and go by to visit spot checking these people and verify they don't reside at the address with neighbors, family members and associates.
2) Once a county election commission determines to cheat, they estimate the number of ballots they will need to manufacture from this list of illegally registered voters. For instance, in Harris County Texas, over 600,000 illegally registered voter names are on the list with the valid voters and that list has not been purged in 6 years or more. THIS is Harris Counties "credit account" for ballots they can vote any way they wish.
Think of the ways this can be done:
-a candidate can pay to win
-a political party can pay to win
-BOTH political parties can negotiate certain races to each win
-a political special interest can pay to make sure a candidate loses or wins
Imagine you as candidate that knows about this and you get a phone call or visit in person as voting starts or on Election Day or even a day or two after and they tell you:
