‘Titanic’ statue of Trump and Epstein on the Mall draws praise, scorn The statue, depicting them embracing on a copy of the Titanic bow, is the third placed on the Mall by the artists depicting a connection between Trump and Epstein.

There's a new Trump-Epstein statue on the National Mall.

It's an enormous statue, spray-painted gold, of Trump embracing Epstein in a reenactment of that famous scene from "Titanic."

Rand Paul: "As far as reasons for the war, there have been many different ones floated, but none have been very convincing... we were told their nuclear weapons were obliterated, and now we're told their nuclear weapons are just moments away from being a bomb. I don't think the arguments are valid."

Lasting surge in diesel prices would batter nation’s truckers, farmers If the war continues for much longer, diesel could soon test its all-time high of $5.82, set in June 2022 after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

If strikes in Iran continue, diesel — now at $4.78 per gallon — could soon test its all-time high of $5.82 after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The war could raise U.S. inflation to 3.5 percent by late spring, affecting freight and food costs.

Who would have guessed that the legal system in America was so fragile that a single crazy president could ignore the whole thing, from the Constitution right down to state laws?
Why does the Supreme Court and Congress let this demented moron act like the dictator of a banana republic?

Markwayne Mullin is the same dude already under scrutiny for suspicious stock trades.

And he’s supposed to run America’s national security.

• No government security experience
• No law enforcement background
• No intelligence work
• No military service
• Not even a bachelor’s degree

Stunning massive US and Israeli attack on Iran. Zero consult Congress. Target leadership, nuke production, ballistic missiles. Iranian response against regional US bases and Israel so far not believed effective. Iranians despise the regime. 7000 or more murdered. Potential for regional war.

Klobuchar: "One of the things that most struck me about this State of the Union is that he spent only 2.9 minutes talking about affordability out of an hour and 47 minute speech, and 3.9 minutes talking about healthcare. These are the number one issues on the minds of people."

Never in our American history have we heard any national political leader use disgusting language such as this. Uncontrolled. Rabid. Dangerous.

If Congress surrenders the “Power of the Purse” to Trump…… we are done. He will be defying the Constitution.

If your diplomacy sounds like a warning from a crime boss, you’ve already lost the moral high ground.

Photo of actor, rapper Ice-T with an inset photo of Trump. Text reads, "I can't believe people are comparing Trump to Satan. Yes, he's evil, but he's certainly not as evil as Trump."

"Ice-T ignited widespread online discussion after posting a strongly worded political remark that quickly gained traction across social media"

But it's okay to call Trump a messiah and compare him to Jesus? I'm amazed Christians aren't kicking MAGA/Christian Nationalist butts.

Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

🚨 Pritzker: The monsters responsible for unleashing this havoc on American cities, whether they were firing at civilians in the streets or calling the shots from their cushy offices in Washington, need to be investigated and prosecuted.

Screenshot of an X post by Omar Jimenez (@OmarJim…, 7h) stating that Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison says he doesn’t have the names of the agents who shot Alex Pretti, adding: “I’ve been a lawyer for 36 years. I’ve never seen anything like this before.” Below is a CNN video thumbnail showing a split screen: on the left, an older man in a black cap and glasses labeled “Brown | Business Owner,” and on the right, Keith Ellison in a suit. A CNN “LIVE” bug appears in the corner.

This is a cover up of a murder, led by our own federal government.
