Russian Businessman Found Dead After Being Named in Epstein Files Umar Dzhabrailov had relationships with Ghislaine Maxwell and Sean β€œDiddy” Combs.

After being found in the Epstein files, this Russian politician came down with a sudden case of the blues and Epstein’ed himself with a Luger pistol. These new American oligarchs need to pay attention as they may be Epstein’ed, too.

wow -- Tillis goes ballistic on Noem, telling her "what we've seen is a disaster under your leadership"

It's interesting how the justifications for starting a tariff war and starting all these military wars have been so similar: the world has been conspiring against us for years, they treat us with disrespect, it was insufferable, etc. It's like America is a paranoid jealous husband.

Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this.

Minnesota is mourning the loss of Sergeant First Class Nicole M. Amor of White Bear Lake who was killed in Kuwait on Sunday.

She answered the call to serve and gave her life in service to our state and nation. Minnesotans are wrapping our arms around her loved ones.

It's infuriating and frankly disrespectful to call our modern-day Gestapo, aka ICE, "law enforcement officers." They're nothing of the sort. Real law enforcement protects (or should protect) people. ICE terrorizes them.

Rubio's war remarks blow open MAGA's Israel divide The secretary of state's comments inflamed already angry MAGA elites.

MAGA's ascendant "America First" wing erupted after Marco Rubio effectively blamed Israel for drawing the U.S. into war with Iran.

Rubio's remarks were the first time a Trump official had so explicitly acknowledged Israel as a driving force behind the war.

Well, it turns out a vote for Donald Trump was a vote to start wars not end them. No president in modern history has ordered more military attacks against as many nations as Trump. And now he's started a war in the Middle East, the exact thing he campaigned against.

Who could have foreseen that the president who lies about literally everything, no matter how large or small, would lie about his intentions for war? I for one am as shocked as when mommy disappeared behind her hands only to reappear moments later

I'm sorry, if you're going to make a big show about how you've got a Department of WAR helmed by a Secretary of WAR and staffed by WARfighters, it's totally inane to then claim that your massive bombing of a foreign country constitutes something other than a war.

Olivia Rinaldi: A source familiar with the Vice President's thinking before the strikes on Iran tells @CBSNews
 that while the Vice President was personally against the strikes, if the strikes were to happen, he argued that the operation should 'go big' and 'go fast.'

A spokesperson for the Vice President declined to comment.

@nytimes
  was first to report.

BLUMENTHAL: Is the agent who shot Ms Martinez sill on the job?

NOEM: Our officers conduct operations every day-

B: Is he still on the job carrying a gun?

N: I dunno

B: Would you agree he shouldn't be?

N: I'll get back to you

B: I think Americans would find it absolutely terrifying if he is

Texans who want to help have a simple way to do so: offer to drive these folks home. Make as few or as many trips as your time, gasoline budget, and conscience allow.

9 people injured in Cincinnati mass shooting Nine people were injured in a shooting during an event at a concert venue in Cincinnati early Sunday, March 1.

Nine people were injured when a gunman opened fire at a concert venue this weekend in Cincinnati, Ohio. At least one person is still in critical condition.

Americans deserve to exist in their communities without constant gun violence.

Pentagon Admission BACKFIRES and Leaves Trump in TOTAL PANIC
YouTube video by Issue Addict Pentagon Admission BACKFIRES and Leaves Trump in TOTAL PANIC

#Pentagon officials told congressional staffers there WAS no imminent #Iranian attack, undercutting Trump’s stated justification that recent US strikes on #Iran were "necessary to protect #American personnel". As polls show a MAJORITY of #Americans OPPOSE the military action

Noem asked to retract comments calling Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., pushed Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to retract her previous statements labeling Renee Good and Alex Pretti as domestic terrorists. Noem said she was ...

Americans watched as federal agents killed two Minnesotans.

Now their families have to watch Kristi Noem continue to lie about it.

Warner: "There was no imminent threat to the United States by the Iranians. There was a threat to Israel. If we equate a threat to Israel as the equivalent of an imminent threat to the US, then we are in uncharted territory."

ICE officers have lied again--this time to enter a school dorm and arrest a college student. ICE is a corrupt and violent agency that needs to be abolished. Students deserve to feel safe at their schools and college campuses.

He was rambling on about the war he got us into and veered off into curtain talk, then seamlessly continued on to discuss the men that have lost their lives.
He did that so easily because he doesn’t care about the dead. His ability to pick curtains is just as important and must be mentioned.
