Maybe #Congress should just #subpoena #JeffreyGoldberg and get the facts directly from him, rather than depend on a bunch of proven liars for the truth

Members of the #SenateCommerceCommittee, led by Sen. #TedCruz, clashed in a rancorous hearing Wednesday morning over the #GOP's push to #subpoena documents from the #MassachusettsPortAuthority related to its sheltering of #migrants in #BostonLoganAirport.

#SFBA remind #Congress member #RoKhanna of his priorities. He actually missed a vote to #subpoena #Musk and stop the #coup leveraged by #DOGE.

Copied here is a post from #BlueSky where Khanna posts.

He is literally my representative in #SanJose and #SiliconValley. I can’t even begin to tell you how disappointing, frustrating, and outrageous it is to get this news.
Our local #economy, #California, and #America are on the line… and he missed it?? #Khanna #Pelosi, #Lofgren, #Liccardo, #Panetta et al. Get going! Contact your representatives!

Once upon a time, I swear that I saw an article saying #Facebook hands over data to law enforcement without a #subpoena. Does anyone else remember this?

#Loudermilk had publicly floated the idea of issuing a #subpoena to #CassidyHutchinson, who…in an explosive 2022 hearing, …testified that #Trump had wanted an armed mob to march to the Capitol on #Jan6, 2021 — & that he wanted to join them.

Before that meeting, a #MikeJohnson aide told Loudermilk’s staff that multiple colleagues raised concerns w/the speaker’s office about the potential for public disclosure of “sexual texts from members who were trying to engage in sexual favors” w/Hutchinson…

#MikeJohnson revived the investigation this week as part of an effort by #Trump & his allies to seek #retribution against perceived political enemies….

In a meeting following the June conversation, Johnson (R-LA) & senior aides also conveyed to Rep #BarryLoudermilk (R-GA) & members of his staff that issuing a #subpoena to #CassidyHutchinson & asking her to testify under oath would serve as another opportunity for her to retell her story & potentially embarrass the Trump White House….

An aide to #House Speaker #MikeJohnson advised #Republican colleagues against subpoenaing fmr White House aide #CassidyHutchinson as part of their investigation into the #Jan6, 2021, attack in an effort to prevent the release of sexually explicit texts that *lawmakers* sent her, acc/to written correspondence reviewed by WaPo & a person familiar w/the effort.

The aide intervened last June, citing concerns that a #subpoena could expose the texts….
