Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

Zelenskyy: Trump is living in a “disinformation space”

It's traditions like today that bring together all our branches of government to stand in respect of each other - that underpins the guardrails of our democracy. The only power that the Constitution truly recognizes is power that's capable of humbling itself before our people.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

Look closely.

Everyone has things in their career of which they're ashamed. Nothing...and I mean nothing...in my career in politics makes me more ashamed and regretful than supporting and promoting Marco Rubio. He is the most craven betrayer of his stated ideals of any human I've ever met.

I think a lot about this pic from 2022 of Elon at the word cup in Qatar. He’s pictured alongside Jared Kushner and Saudi reps. Malicious planning against the US.

NEW: Donald Trump continues to prove his incompetence in enforcing immigration law but he is succeeding in destroying democracy. Could this be part of a plan to discourage immigrants from coming to the U.S. at all, asks Robert McWhirter.

For those that disagree with me on AI, this article does a good job explaining your position and why he thinks you are right open.substack.com/pub/garymarc...

Trump during campaign: Starting the day I take the Oath of Office I will rapidly drive prices down Trump today: Inflation is back...I had nothing to do with it

Trump blows millions on Daytona 500 propaganda as states suffer disasters. Europe scrambles for solutions while Trump snubs allies. Vance flops on the global stage. The MeidasTouch Podcast breaks it all down at 8pm EST/5pm PT!

A dictatorship that kills people from democracies if they say something inconvenient hosting another dictatorship that does the same and a country run by a wannabe dictator who wants people jailed for saying anything inconvenient gathered to decide the fate of a democracy that wasn’t even invited?

"Just one more thing. You say you're the law and order president, yet you released 1,500 rioters. You claim to support the police, but many of those rioters attacked them. Now you're firing FBI agents and prosecutors. Frankly, Mrs. Columbo thinks you're a criminal."

Our 2025 Infrastructure Plan will help keep Minnesota’s water clean. We’re building a safer, cleaner future for our children and grandchildren.

Acosta: It’s hard to see somebody out-Spicer Sean Spicer or out-Huckabee Sarah Huckabee Sanders, but Karoline Leavitt—she’s making a run for it. Unless they’ve already done it on SNL, I have to think something like that is in the works, because the skit writes itself.

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party thx in advance

"Law and order" in the Trump era: if you bow down to the head of the U.S. government, he may help you - whether you're awaiting trial for sex crimes in Europe or doing time in the USA for physically assaulting police.

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) sued the Trump administration to release over $3 billion of federal funding allocated to his state’s agencies, saying that multiple judges have halted the funding freeze but access has not been restored.

Another career federal official has resigned after refusing to give DOGE access to sensitive data.

Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.

NEW: Nonprofits and unions sue to prevent DOGE from accessing personal taxpayer data from the IRS like social security numbers and bank account info. The groups said the access could also unfairly reveal info to Musk about his competitors' businesses.

Meidas takes the #1 podcast spot, Trump’s DOJ is in chaos, Musk is dodging accountability, and MAGA chaos is hitting Social Security, Ukraine, and veterans. Protests are growing as the public grows angry. Don’t miss today’s bulletin!

GOP justices on the North Carolina Supreme Court have positioned themselves to consider overturning the results of a race won by their incumbent Democratic colleague, foreshadowing an ominous trajectory for the future of free and fair elections.

“We salute and admire the courage many of you have already exhibited and that will guide all of you as you continue to serve the interests of justice. You’ve responded to ethical challenges of a type no public servant should ever be forced to confront..."

NEWS: The MeidasTouch Podcast is officially the #1 podcast in the U.S. per the newly released Podscribe industry rankings, with 57.7 MILLION downloads and views per month

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

NEW: Trump’s USDA admits it "accidentally" fired "several" agency employees working on the federal response to the H5N1 avian flu outbreak—and is now scrambling to undo the damage.

Getting ready for tomorrow, Illinois.

NEW: A D.C. federal judge temporarily blocks the Trump administration from firing Cathy Harris, chair of an agency that protects federal workers' rights. Harris will be reinstated while litigation continues.

Figured it was a good t-shirt to wear today #StandWithUkraine

Just as relevant today… “The media's the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that's power. Because they control the minds of the masses.” - Malcom X (1963)

You cannot determine whether you saved or cost money based solely on one side of the ledger. Example: I saved my household $2K by not paying the mortgage.

Yes. They are. Maybe a rapid response team under the age of 75 would be a start. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

WOW: Canadians ruthlessly BOO the United States during the singing of the National Anthem before their game in the NHL 4 Nations Face-Off. Three fights then erupt between the two teams within the first 10 seconds of the game.

United is flying more seats from Chicago than they have in the past 20 years. And now, they're ramping up their capacity at O'Hare because they see the potential in Illinois thanks to our workforce and economy. A win for our entire state.

In 2021, Ed Martin was subpoenaed for being an organizer of the Stop the Steal Movement formed after the 2020 election. Four years later, he’s now the head of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for Washington, D.C., a branch of the DOJ.

The only life @realdonaldtrump wants to save in the war is Vladimir Putin's.

Exciting to see what Mars Snacking is creating behind the scenes at the Global Innovation Center in their HQ in Chicago. The state-of-the-art facility is the company's largest research and development hub — ensuring Illinoisans can see how they push the boundaries first.

This is what oligarchy looks like.

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

Trump keeps whining about the U.S.-Canada trade deal and sparked global chaos over it—but what’s rarely mentioned? He’s the one who negotiated it and spent his first term bragging about it.
