Newly Declassified Docs Reveal Bias of Impeachment ‘Whistleblower’
A former inspector general who fast-tracked a “whistleblower” complaint that led to the first impeachment of President Trump in 2019 knew the whistleblower was a registered Democrat and Joe Biden loyalist yet still determined his complaint was “a matter of urgent concern that appeared credible,” according to newly declassified documents.
The documents also reveal the anonymous whistleblower secretly met with the Democratic staff of former House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff prior to submitting his complaint in August 2019.
Yet under direct questioning, the whistleblower – later identified by Real Clear Investigations as intellgience analyst Eric Ciaramella – failed to disclose those contacts in interviews with IG investigators or on whistleblower forms, according to more than 350 pages of intel briefings Schiff classified as secret and locked up in a Capitol vault.

Maine Republican Lawmakers Rally Support for Referendum on Girls’ Sports, Criticize Ballot Language Ahead of Hearing
Augusta, Maine – Republican lawmakers gathered to voice support for a citizen-initiated referendum aimed at restricting participation in girls’ sports and access to female-only spaces based on biological sex, while also criticizing the wording of the ballot question introduced by Secretary of State Shenna Bellows (D).
They also urged the public to take part in a hearing on the issue scheduled for tomorrow.
Speaking at the event, Assistant House Republican Leader Katrina Smith said lawmakers assembled to address what she described as a growing concern over protecting girls in Maine.
Smith focused her remarks on the referendum language drafted by the Secretary of State, arguing that the question was not written in a neutral manner.
“The role of Secretary of State is not to advocate for one side of a policy debate,” Smith said. “The role is to ensure elections are conducted fairly and that ballot questions are written clearly and neutrally so voters can decide for themselves.” Click here to read more.
‘DoorDash Grandma’ Tells Trump How Much His Tax Policies Saved Her This Year
When Sharon Simmons delivered McDonald’s to President Donald Trump in the Oval Office on Monday, she shared that his tax policy has saved her about half her income.
Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill,” passed and signed into law last year, established a tax deduction of up to $25,000 for tips. Simmons, a grandmother of 10 who lives in Arkansas, said half of her income is tips.
“I saved over $11,000 by not having to claim,” Simmons said.
“We call it the Great, Big, Beautiful Bill,” Trump responded. “We should call it the Great Big, Beautiful Tax Cut Bill because it’s tremendous amounts of money.”
Simmons made her first delivery to the White House two days before Tax Day on April 15.
The president gave Simmons a $100 tip, on which she will not have to pay taxes.
“The ‘No Tax on Tips’ is something special,” Trump said. Click here to read more.

San Francisco Reinstates 8th-Grade Algebra After ‘Equity’ Experiment Fails
San Francisco school officials voted Tuesday to restore eighth-grade algebra more than a decade after the district eliminated the course in the name of “equity,” a policy that attracted intense criticism as math scores declined across the district.
The city’s school board approved the measure Tuesday evening by a narrow 4-3 vote.
The move reverses a district policy, implemented in 2014, that removed algebra from middle schools in an attempt to give minority students more time to learn basic math skills. Instead, math proficiency declined across the district—including among black students.
Eighth-grade math proficiency in San Francisco public schools fell from 51 percent in the 2016-17 school year to 40 percent in the 2022-23 school year. Proficiency among black students fell from 11 percent to 4 percent. The policy led some parents to use tutors or enroll their students in summer school, often paying out of pocket, according to the New York Times. Click here to read more.
