Police have arrested three Rangers fans in relation to the horrific attack on a Celtic fan trying to get onto his supporters bus after Sunday's match.

The Celtic fan who was left unconscious and is thankfully recovering from his injuries had his head stamped on several times by Rangers fans.

Sen. Murray: "I'm just sickened by this. To go into this war unprepared, to use outdated data, and to have this horrific thing happen where children were killed in a school sends a horrible message to those that are in a war with us and to our own constituents about what America's values are."

β€˜They pushed so many lies about recycling’: the fight to stop big oil pumping billions more into plastics Plastic production has doubled over the last 20 years – and will likely double again. For author Beth Gardiner, metal water bottles and canvas tote bags are not the solution. So what is?

Trying to use less plastic?

Big Oil and the plastics industry are spending billions to make sure everyone else uses more.

β€œI think what stood out most is the deliberateness and intentionality over the years of pushing plastic into our lives,” said @bethgardiner.bsky.social. β€œIt was such a shock."

Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"

Live Nation settles antitrust lawsuit with Justice Department | CNN Business Live Nation and Ticketmaster has reached a settlement with federal authorities over its practices that accused the ticket giant for monopolizing the live events music industry, according to a source f...

Live Nation (which owns Ticketmaster) reached a settlement with the DOJ in the antitrust lawsuit against the company.

Just a reminder that Live Nation added Trump ally Ric Grenell to it's board last year and donated $500,000 to Trump's inauguration.

While we're talking about Live Nation/Ticketmaster's sweetheart antirust settlement, a reminder that it paid ZERO federal income tax last year on $145M in profitsβ€” largely due to Trump's tax cuts.

Trump works on behalf of the most powerful corporations.

BREAKING NEWS: Donald "Art of the Deal" Trump settled the Ticketmaster-Live Nation antitrust case.

If you love going to concerts, Trump's deal means you'll keep paying a "Ticketmaster Tax."

And artists will keep getting bullied.

It's time to break up Ticketmaster-Live Nation.

BREAKING: Donald Trump just betrayed every fan who’s been exploited by Ticketmaster.

This fine is less than 1% of Live Nation’s revenue last year AND lets them continue to rip off fans with a 15% β€œTicketmaster Tax." It's wrong.

We need to break up Ticketmaster and Live Nation.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

WATCH β€” @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.

ICE surge meant thousands of extra calls, canceled time off, lots of OT for MPD officers The Minneapolis Police Department will update city council members Tuesday on how the federal government’s surge into Minnesota affected public safety.

Police fielded 50,000 calls during the surge, canceled over 1,000 days off and extended 500 shifts. The department says that more than $5 million was spent on policing between Jan. 7 and Feb. 1.

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.

Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

JUST IN: Democrat Alex Holladay has flipped a GOP-held seat in *Arkansas*.

Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders tried hard to delay this race and wanted the seat to stay vacant for 8+ months, but the courts told her to hold it today. If she was worried, she was right to be.
