WATCH — @senpeterwelch walks through a no-bid $143,000,000 contract that went to @KristiNoem’s spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin’s husband’s company that had just been formed.

She should be impeached for this outrageous scandal alone.

Yet it’s barely a blip in this corrupt regime.

U.S. Troops Were Told Iran War Is for “Armageddon,” Return of Jesus Advocacy group reports commanders giving similar messages at more than 30 installations in every branch of the military

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war.

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints.

One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

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.

What can you even say? These people deserve their inevitable humiliation and the nation deserves journalists with more self-respect.

Tell Congress: Demand AG Bondi release ALL of the Epstein files now Contact Congress today!

The Epstein cover-up is starting to crack, but Pam Bondi is still stonewalling. This is the biggest scandal in modern history, and it's being buried.

Congress: Do your job. Demand the full release NOW.

Who's with us? Tell your reps:

When will he be deposed.? The twice impeached President Trump is certainly not exempted from deposition if Bill and Hillary Clinton were not exempted. They were bought before the same judicial committee as others who have held such high offices have.
DEPOSE DONALD J. TRUMP. It is time to do it.

Hey so if CBS airs the state of the union, don’t they have to offer equal time to his opponents? Can we bank that time and save it for later?

Justice Department withheld and removed some Epstein files related to Trump An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump.

“The Justice Department has withheld some Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor, an NPR investigation finds. It also removed some documents from the public database where accusations against Jeffrey Epstein also mention Trump.”

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes.

$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst".

It’s can’t be said enough — this is a wildly corrupt betrayal of the MAHA crowd, and flies in the face of everything RFK JR has ever promised them.

Driven entirely by greed and paying off their big pesticide corporation donors.

Let's face it, we not only have a Trump problem in U.S., we have a Republican problem in that they refuse to recognize the Trump problem.

Wondering if any republicans in Congress who flipped out when Clinton and Lynch ran into each other, or wouldn’t shut up about Jack Smith “conspiring” with Biden, would have anything to say about this shit.

The Disastrous First Year of RFK Jr. The damage the HHS secretary has done to science and public health is appalling—and it could have been avoided.

"It is beyond comprehension that the Senate confirmed this man to oversee America’s health."

Here’s the latest.

Supreme Court rules that Trump exceeded his authority by imposing sweeping tariffs on imports from nearly every trading partner, a major setback for his 2nd-term agenda. Roberts wrote for 6-3 majority with Thomas, Alito and Kavanaugh dissenting. @amarimow.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/live/2026/02...

"Based on two words separated by 16 others in ... IEEPA," Roberts writes, " 'regulate' and 'importation'--the President asserts the independent power to impose tariffs on imports from any country, of any product, at any rate, for any amount of time. Those words cannot bear such weight."

Leslie Wexner is one of the 10 co-conspirators named by the FBI during the 2019 arrest of Epstein.

He gave Epstein millions of dollars and the $70 million NYC townhouse.

Leon Black gave Epstein over $170 million.

Both men are alive.

How come they've never been asked to testify?

This Is So Much Bigger Than Pete Hegseth or Mark Kelly A decision against the senator could affect all military retirees.

If Pete Hegseth succeeds in punishing Mark Kelly, it could significantly expand the Pentagon’s legal powers over military retirees—and curb the First Amendment rights of some of the very people who have fought to defend such freedoms, Missy Ryan reports.

The funny thing about that show? Not a word of it was in English, but it was one of the more patriotic halftime shows I’ve seen.
