A report from the U.S. House Judiciary Committee reveals a high-ranking member of the Biden DOJ knew in advance of Jack Smith’s unconstitutional spying on members of congress. The report claims, “beginning in May 2022, prosecutors under the leadership of U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Matthew Graves issued several subpoenas demanding telephone toll records for Members of Congress to identify individuals with whom they spoke around major votes in Congress . . .”

The Public Integrity Section (“PIN”) of the Department of Justice told Arctic Frost investigators to notify the deputy attorney general “via urgent report” of the FBI’s plans to subpoena Republican Rep. Jim Jordan’s toll records, repeating that directive a month later when agents sought to issue another subpoena for Rep. Chip Roy’s records. And when questioned under oath by the House Judiciary Committee, agents acknowledged they would have followed the PIN directive, indicating the Biden administration and Attorney General Merrick Garland knew of the FBI’s gross disregard of constitutional separation of powers and the Speech or Debate Clause protection afforded congressional leaders.
Wednesday morning, House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan released a 56-page interim report on “How Jack Smith and the Biden-Harris Department of Justice Disregarded the Separation of Powers to Spy on Their Political Opposition.” While the report summarized previously known details of the Arctic Frost investigation and Special Counsel Jack Smith’s unlawful subpoenaing of congressional toll records, Wednesday’s release reveals for the first time evidence that, prior to Smith’s appointment, a top DOJ official under the Biden administration knew of the plot to seize the records of congressional Republicans.
According to the report, “[b]eginning in May 2022, prosecutors under the leadership of U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Matthew Graves issued several subpoenas demanding telephone toll records for Members of Congress to identify individuals with whom they spoke around major votes in Congress . . .” Graves previously garnered headlines when news broke that he had refused to partner with the now-former U.S. attorney for Delaware, David Weiss, to bring criminal charges against Hunter Biden.
The 30-Year Treasury Bond Yield hit 5.501%, which was a high not reached since June of 2007. The spike came after U.S. economic data showed a stronger than expected economy, raising concerns there would be more Fed rate increases to combat inflationary pressures. High oil prices have also contributed to the spike. The rate is a benchmark for long-term interest rates and long-term borrowing.

Treasury yields were trading at multidecade highs on Thursday, as investor bets on another rate hike from the Federal Reserve mounted.
The 30-year Treasury bond yield was last about 10 basis points higher, hitting a high of 5.501%, a level not seen since June 2004. The benchmark 10-year Treasury note yield, which is tied to rates on mortgages, surged more than 10 basis points to 5.223%, to levels not reached since June 2007. The 2-year note yield rose more than 4 basis points to 4.941%.
One basis point equals 0.01%, and yields and prices move in opposite directions.
Global bonds also sold off. Japan’s 10-year JGB yield rose its highest since August 1996. U.K. Gilts and German Bunds also moved higher, with yields on various European bonds hitting fresh multi-year highs.
Thursday’s moves build on a U.S. Treasury rout that took place Wednesday. The 10-year Treasury yield had its biggest one-day jump since April 7, 2025 as traders reacted to stronger-than-expected U.S. economic data, hawkish commentary from a Federal Reserve official and high oil prices.
“The combination of fiscal, economic, geopolitical, and supply-side inflation pressures converging has bond markets in less familiar territory. The recent rise in yields can no longer be attributed simply to concerns over the deficit,” said from Mike Sanders, head of fixed income at Madison Investments.
Pakistan launched three separate air strikes on three separate Afghan provinces in response to drone attacks from Afghanistan a day earlier. The airstrikes were mostly centered in the southeast part of the country. Four civilians were allegedly killed. A Taliban spokesperson said, “These shameless acts of aggression and attacks by the Pakistani military regime will be met with an appropriate response.”

Pakistan said it carried out airstrikes early Thursday on 10 sites in Afghanistan that it said were used to launch drone attacks against Pakistan a day earlier, a sharp escalation in recent fighting between the two countries that threatens international mediation efforts.
The airstrikes struck southern and eastern Afghan provinces of Kandahar, Paktia and Khost, killing four civilians, Afghan government spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid said in a statement.
“These shameless acts of aggression and attacks by the Pakistani military regime will be met with an appropriate response,” he said.
The announcement of the strikes by Pakistani Information Minister Attaullah Tarar in a post on X came after officials said Afghanistan’s Taliban forces had fired eight drones and shelled Pakistani border posts after Pakistani troops foiled what they described as a cross-border infiltration attempt by militants.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has added another role to the many other roles he has served in the Trump administration. He is currently the Secretary of State. He is also now President Trump’s official and permanent National Security Advisor, a role almost as powerful, sometimes more powerful, than the role he serves now. He had been serving as the acting National Security Advisor.

Few people in the Trump administration wear as many hats as Secretary of State Marco Rubio. In addition to serving as a cabinet member, Rubio also served as acting administrator of USAID, acting archivist of the U.S., and acting National Security Advisor.
That last role is now permanent, as President Trump signed a commission formally making Rubio his National Security Advisor, a role he’s had on an interim basis since May of last year. Rubio is the second person to hold both roles simultaneously; Henry Kissinger last served in those capacities in the 1970s.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has collected an unusually broad portfolio in President Donald Trump’s second administration — and one of his most powerful roles is now permanent.
Trump recently signed a commission formally making Rubio his national security adviser, a senior State Department official, White House official and senior administration official confirmed to Fox News Digital on Tuesday.
The move makes permanent a role Rubio has held since May 2025, when Trump tapped him to replace Michael Waltz on an interim basis.
Rubio will continue to manage the National Security Council process and serve as a direct line to the president on national security matters.
The former Florida senator has been a prominent figure in the Trump administration, holding multiple official posts while becoming the subject of online jokes about just how many jobs he could take on.
The Iowa Legislature created the Center for Intellectual Freedom at the University of Iowa. It has an advisory board overseeing the launch of the Center. Now, nearly half of the advisory council has resigned, claiming the terms the university was setting would kill the legislative intent of the Center.
One member, Richard Lowery, wrote, “The legislature created the center in 2025 to teach and research the ideas behind the American constitutional order and to promote free speech, civil discourse, and intellectual diversity on campus — and on the terms the regents have now set, it cannot do what the law created it to do.”

Launching the Center for Intellectual Freedom at the University of Iowa hit a big snag this week after nearly half of its Advisory Council resigned in protest.
The en masse resignations come amid concerns from resigning members that the Board of Regents seeks to embed the center’s operations into the university in a business-as-usual setup, rather than allowing it to operate independently to counteract what they view as left-wing bias on campus.
“The legislature created the center in 2025 to teach and research the ideas behind the American constitutional order and to promote free speech, civil discourse, and intellectual diversity on campus — and on the terms the regents have now set, it cannot do what the law created it to do,” according to former Advisory Council member Richard Lowery.
A state law passed over the summer requires University of Iowa students to complete courses in American history and American government based on original, historical and Constitutional documents through the Center for Intellectual Freedom starting fall 2028.
Writing for National Review, Lowery said university leaders so far have refused to list the center’s courses, blocked its hiring of even temporary faculty, and denied approval for routine travel.
The Associated Press attempted to incite violence against white people by fanning the flames of racial hatred. They did so through their report of the murder by hanging of a black woman, Tasia Fortune, who was only 29. After a black man, Jarques Ratcliff, 51, was arrested for the murder, the narrative wasn’t changed, that white supremacism is causing a lynching epidemic.
AP continued to promote the original anti-white narrative, accusing white supremacism of murdering the woman. CNN, which reported on the story in a similar manner, failed to follow up on the story when it became apparent the murderer was not a white man after all. This is not the free press, this is a military operation.

The Associated Press can describe a Mississippi murder in the language of 1930. What it will not do, at least on X, is show the face of the man charged with it.
Why? Because doing so would completely invalidate their narrative that the killing was yet another example of today’s supposedly rampant white supremacist violence.
Tasia Fortune, 29, a mother of four, was found dead behind an abandoned Jackson, Mississippi, house on Aug. 3. The medical examiner later ruled the death a homicide. Police arrested Jarques “Jock” Ratliff, 51 for allegedly committing the crime. He pleaded not guilty and was denied bond.
51-year-old Black man Jarques Ratliff was arrested in connection to the hanging of 29-year-old Black woman Tasia Fortune from a tree in Mississippi.
CNN initially suggested that White racism was to blame for the incident.
