U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham never represented Georgia. But few lawmakers from outside the state played a bigger role in its turbulent politics. #gapol ajc.com/politics/2026/…
18 USC 1001: Makes it a felony to knowingly and willfully make false statements, conceal facts, or submit fraudulent documents to the U.S. government. @RandPaul I've transcribed the exchange with Jack Smith for clarity and accountability: Question: The toll records that you requested from the Senators, did they include the content of the phone calls? Smith: NO Question: The records that you requested, the toll records from the members of Congress, include the content of text messages? Smith: NO
Smith was specifically asked about *toll records* obtained from *Members of Congress.* He accurately said those records didn’t include message content. Grassley's docs relate to texts of *WH officials,* obtained via *NARA,* which happened to include exchanges w/ congresspeople.
Former special counsel Jack Smith multiple times denied this having happened in his Dec. 17, 2025, deposition before the House Judiciary Committee judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-subs…
There is a great deal of hubbub about a collective “middle powers”strategy these days. At DoW, we are not concerned that this is a serious possibility. Rather, we are more concerned that a few allies and partners will *think it is* and waste valuable time, money, and political capital on a distraction. 1/

I received records frm DOJ confirming Jack Smith's investigative team reviewed the contents of text msgs sent by 44 MEMBERS OF CONGRESS Im 1 of the 44 Im alerting my colleagues who were impacted and will release the records w Sen Johnson so American ppl can see the evidence
December 2025: Jack Smith swore under oath that he didn't spy on text messages belonging to members of Congress. Today: New evidence confirms he spied on dozens of members of Congress, myself included. This is a blatant abuse of power, and exactly what our Founders warned about.
Under @POTUS’s bold leadership, today’s meeting with Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi marks a turning point. The future of the U.S.-Iraq relationship lies in investment, trade, and economic opportunity—not just security. At the heart of the Middle East, Iraq is uniquely positioned to connect the region through deeper integration with the GCC, Türkiye, Syria, Jordan, Central Asia, the Balkans, and the Caucuses. New pipelines for energy, new roads to progress. A more prosperous Iraq means a more stable region—and exclusive opportunities for American business.
