Declassified Docs Reveal FBI Tracked Wiles' Calls and Trump Family Travel in Mar-a-Lago Probe

Declassified documents released by the White House reveal that the FBI monitored the phone activity of Susie Wiles and tracked the travel of Melania and Barron Trump during the 'Plasmic Echo' investigation. Records show agents cataloged Wiles' calls with attorneys, campaign staff, and Secret Service contacts between February and May 2023. The surveillance occurred under the Biden administration, which approved the probe despite warnings it could disrupt the democratic process.

Taryn Simon’s Guggenheim Show Traces America’s Hidden Trauma Through a Single FBI Agent’s Career

Photographer Taryn Simon has unveiled a major exhibition at the Guggenheim titled 'Father Country I Do Love You,' which uses the career of a retired FBI agent to map the long-term human consequences of American state power. The project, developed over nearly a decade, connects major national tragedies like the 9/11 attacks and the TWA Flight 800 crash to the personal lives of those affected by surveillance and government intervention. Simon’s work blends journalistic rigor with conceptual art, exploring how state actions reverberate through decades, affecting individuals far beyond the immediate events. The exhibition includes intimate portraits, such as a birth scene captured in a New Hampshire hospital, illustrating the artist’s method of embedding herself in private moments to reveal broader societal narratives.

"Martin Luther King Jr. Day Events: Celebrations Across the Nation"

Martin Luther King Jr.'s views were once considered radical by much of white America, including the government, and he was the subject of FBI surveillance. Despite this, he is now widely lauded as a hero for his nonviolent crusade against racial injustice. The fight to establish MLK Day as a federal holiday was a long one, eventually succeeding in 1986, and it is now dedicated to volunteer service in honor of King's legacy.
