A MAGA lawmaker threatened to subpoena the CIA on Wednesday unless it agreed to turn over specific documents to Congress within the next 24 hours, according to a new report.

Rep. Ana Paulina Luna (R-FL) said she plans to subpoena the CIA unless it returns boxes of documents the agency took from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard's office that were being processed for declassification, NewsNation reported. The documents pertain to the CIA's activities during John F. Kennedy's assassination in the 1960s and the CIA's MK Ultra program from the Cold War.

The Trump administration is doubling down on its war with a federal judge in Rhode Island — even though Justice Department attorneys were responsible for her move to release a potentially dangerous person into the community.

"The top lawyer at the Homeland Security Department has doubled down on the department’s dispute with a federal judge, labeling her an 'activist' and claiming that the Trump administration was justified when it withheld information from her in an immigration case," reported The New York Times. "Melissa R. DuBose, a federal judge in Rhode Island, referred an administration lawyer for possible discipline last week after he acknowledged that he had failed to inform her that Bryan Rafael Gomez, a migrant she was preparing to release from detention, was facing homicide charges in the Dominican Republic."

A MAGA candidate for governor in California was roasted after he misidentified a "street taco" during a campaign stop in Barstow.

Steve Hilton, a former Fox News host and a close ally of President Donald Trump's, posted a video on X of him outside a Del Taco restaurant in Barstow after a town hall. In the video, Hilton can be seen holding a taco, which he described as a "Barstow street taco."

Members of Congress could have key medical information exposed as a result of a breach, Politico reported on Wednesday.

"Lawmakers on Capitol Hill were informed this week of a data breach involving the congressional medical office that may have compromised personal information — including their prescription history," said the report. "The intrusions occurred March 1 and 3 and targeted RXNT, a medical software provider used by the Office of the Attending Physician to manage care for members of Congress, according to letters sent this week to affected individuals that were reviewed by POLITICO."

One of the largest political action committees aligned with House Republicans is backing a progressive Democrat in California running to unseat Rep. David Valadao (R-CA), a move that one political expert described as a "confession," according to a new report.

The Congressional Leadership Fund recently sent out mailers supporting progressive Democrat Randy Villegas, a college professor, as he competes against Democratic Assemblymember Jasmeet Bains in California's 22nd District, The Sacramento Bee reported. Some experts suggested that the move is intended to help Villegas win the race against Bains by turning moderate voters away from Democrats and toward Republicans.

The state of Florida's deal for a Trump presidential library in Miami was effectively an illegal gift in violation of the U.S. Constitution, according to a lawsuit filed on Wednesday.

Trump unveiled plans for his library at the end of March. The structure, which is envisioned as a high-rise skyscraper with a luxury hotel built into it, will sit on land taken from Miami Dade College, one of the most heavily Hispanic higher education institutions in the United States. The land is valued at $67 million, but was sold off for the Trump library for just $10.

A popular white livestreamer who goes by the name "Chud the Builder" said that he shot a Black man after an altercation over racial slurs.

The reported shooting comes a day after the streamer, 28-year-old Dalton Eatherly, was arrested in Nashville because he allegedly refused to pay for dinner following the restaurant's demand that he not livestream.
