#10 Senate Republicans Plan Budget Vote, Despite Trump’s Endorsement of Competing House Version - NBC News, Sahil Kapur, Frank Pavone, Zach Warmbrodt, and The Washington Times on X

Senate Republican leaders said Wednesday they plan to move forward with a vote this week on their budget resolution, despite President Donald Trump's emphatic endorsement hours earlier of the House's competing version to pass his party-line agenda in one massive bill. Trump's remarks on Truth Social came just a day after the Senate began to advance a budget that would kick-start the process of pushing Trump's policy priorities. The Senate's blueprint is much narrower than the House's; it focuses on immigration enforcement and expanding energy production but doesn't call for an extension of the Trump tax cuts like the House’s does...





 

#9 Yale Scientists Link COVID Vaccines to Alarming New Syndrome Causing ‘Distinct Biological Changes’ to Body - Emily Joshu Sterne for The Daily Mail, The Vigilant Fox, Libs of TikTok, A Midwestern Doctor, Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH, and Humanspective/Kevin McCernan on X

Experts from Yale University have discovered an alarming syndrome linked to the mRNA Covid vaccines. The previously unknown condition - dubbed 'post-vaccination syndrome' - appears to cause brain fog, dizziness, tinnitus, and exercise intolerance. Some sufferers also show distinct biological changes, including differences in immune cells and the presence of coronavirus proteins in their blood, years after taking the shot. The condition also appears to reawaken a dormant virus in the body called Epstein-Barr, which can cause flu-like symptoms, swollen lymph nodes, and nerve issues. The full results of the small study have not yet been published, and the Yale experts emphasized the results 'are still a work in progress.'

Several individuals associated with the January 6 Capitol riot, including Jake Lang, Dominic Pezzola, and Enrique Tarrio, have been denied entry or removed from the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).

#7 Zeldin EPA Discovers $2 Billion Stashed Away by Biden Admin for Stacey Abrams-Linked Climate Group - Victor Nava for The New York Post, Libs of TikTok (community note), Marjorie Taylor Greene, Nan Hayworth, M.D., and Mr. Will Johnson on X

The Environmental Protection Agency recently discovered that the Biden administration awarded $2 billion to a climate group with ties to former Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, a fierce supporter of former President Joe Biden. The money was earmarked for Power Forward Communities — a nonprofit partnered with multiple left-wing groups founded by Abrams and which the Georgia Democrat has stated she was “thrilled” to be part of, the Washington Free Beacon reported on Wednesday.  The funds were set aside at an outside financial institution—Citibank—before Biden left office and were part of a larger $20 billion pot of money the former president’s EPA received through the Inflation Reduction Act to dole out to climate groups...





 

#6 Senate Pushes Toward Confirmation of Kash Patel as FBI Director - Eric Tucker for AP, Elon Musk/Mike Lee, Chicago1Ray, Wall Street Apes, Lindsay Penney/Branco, and Whale Psychiatrist TM on X
The Senate was set to vote Thursday on whether to confirm Kash Patel as FBI director, a decision that could place him atop the nation's premier federal law enforcement agency despite concerns from Democrats over his qualifications and the prospect that he would do President Donald Trump's bidding.  Patel cleared the Senate Judiciary Committee last week by a 12-10, party-line vote and is set for consideration by the Republican-controlled Senate on Thursday afternoon. He is expected to be confirmed unless more than three Republican senators defy Trump's will and vote against him, which is seen as unlikely. Trump has already secured approval for most of his nominees despite initial Republican skepticism of several of his choices...






 
#5 Maine Defies Trump Order, Enables Teen Transvestite to Demolish Female Competitors - Joseph Mackinnon for Blaze Media, Merianne Jensen, Riley Gaines/Rep. Laura Libby, RealGregKarnes, and Live Updates/The Ingraham Angle on X

President Donald Trump issued an executive order on Feb. 5 banning male transvestites from competing in girls' or women's sports. After noting that "men claiming to be girls have stolen more than 3,500 victories" and have "invaded more than 11,000 competitions designed for women," Trump said that "from now on, women's sports will be only for women." In defiance of Trump's order—which reflected the desire of the supermajority of Americans, as indicated by a 2023 Gallup poll—the Maine Principals' Association, the state's governing body for sports, and the Maine Department of Education decided to let middling male athletes continue to steal victories from their female counterparts...





 

#4 MSM Melts Down Over 'Jaw-Dropping Pivot In US Foreign Policy' After Trump Ripped 'Dictator' Zelensky - Tyler Durden Zero Hedge, Tucker Carlson (community note), Michelle #America First, Alex Jones, Ian Miles Cheong/Tulsi Gabbard, and Ben Swann on X

As expected, the reaction from mainstream pundits and Ukraine's backers to Trump's Wednesday post decrying Zelensky as a "dictator" who "better move fast" on striking a peace deal and holding elections or else "he won't have a country left" has been swift and fierce. The 'fact-checkers' are also out in force, for example with the NY Times quickly putting out a piece entitled "Trump Falsely Says Ukraine Started the War With Russia. Here Is What to Know." They want the public to know why "the country isn’t holding elections." And below is what CNN's frontpage is currently displaying, reviving the old debunked 'Russiagate' talking points of supposedly 'parroting Russian talking points'...

Leland Dudek was an obscure bureaucrat at the Social Security Administration who dedicated his career to stopping fraud. But when he worked with the Department of Government Efficiency to do just that, he came close to being fired. “At 4:30 pm EST, my boss called me to tell me I had been placed on administrative leave pending an Investigation,” Dudek wrote on LinkedIn. “They want to fire me for cooperating with DOGE,” he wrote in a now-deleted post obtained by The Daily Wire. Then, a stunning reversal occurred. It was Acting Social Security Commissioner Michelle King who was out of a job. And Dudek was reinstated with a big promotion — taking her job leading the massive agency on an interim basis.
