Kash Patel’s foundation behind girlfriend Alexis Wilkins’ lawsuits against ‘Mossad spy’ conspiracy theorists, claims MAGA

Kyle Seraphin claimed Kash Patel's foundation is behind the lawsuits that his girlfriend Alexis Wilkins filed against MAGA influencers for 'Israeli spy' narrative. Kyle Seraphin, Sam Parker and Elijah Schaffer have been sued by Kash Patel's girlfriend Alexis Wilkins for spreading malicious lies about Alexis that she works for the Israeli spy agency and 'honeytrapped' FBI director Kash Patel. Wilkins sought $5 million from each of them in damages after relentlessly fighting the rumor, claiming she has no connection with Israel. But MAGA has now drawn a line and stood by the conspiracy theorists as they are all MAGA voices, and condemned Wilkins' action against 'freedom of speech'. Though FBI director Patel is not involved with the lawsuits filed by his musician girlfriend, MAGA claimed that Patel's foundation, 'Kash Foundation', is behind the lawsuits.

Swearing in of Democrat Adelita Grijalva 7 weeks after winning House election could force vote on releasing Epstein files

Adelita Grijalva will be sworn in on Wednesday by Speaker Mike Johnson, his office said on Tuesday, ending weeks of delays and likely triggering a vote in the House of Representatives around the release of the Department of Justice’s trove of files related to Jeffrey Epstein.
The speaker’s office made the announcement Tuesday afternoon, as Congress appeared to be on the brink of ending the longest federal government shutdown in history. Johnson previously said that Grijalva’s swearing-in would be delayed until the shutdown ended.
Democrats in the chamber have loudly insisted for weeks that Johnson’s real aim in delaying Grijalva’s swearing-in was to prevent a vote on a resolution co-sponsored by Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Kentucky) and Ro Khanna (D-California) which, with Grijalva’s signature, will be forced to the House floor as privileged legislation. With the votes of every Democrat in the chamber and several Republicans, it’s expected to pass in an embarrassing defeat for the Trump adm..

Supreme Court extends order blocking full funding for SNAP benefits with shutdown nearing end

The Supreme Court will continue to block a judge’s order requiring President Donald Trump’s administration to fully fund a critical food assistance program that helps prevent millions of Americans from going hungry.
The nation’s highest court extended a pause on that order for another two days as Congress inches closer to ending the government shutdown. Lawmakers are expected to pass a temporary funding bill this week that will effectively restart funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
A brief order from the court Tuesday night noted that liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson would have rejected the Trump administration’s request and allowed the lower-court order requiring the government to fully fund the program to stand.
The Supreme Court’s latest order remains in effect until midnight Thursday. The House of Representatives is expected to vote on a temporary funding measure to reopen the government Wednesday night, which would likely bring the legal battle to an e..
