To finance their operations abroad, the Cheka and NKVD pioneered a number of techniques, which involved the purchase and sale of real estate and works of art. It allowed the transmission of funds to pay agents which appeared to outsiders to be innocent commercial transactions. Rybolovlev uses both.

This was a failed coup by the Trump administration against Democratic members of Congress. Everyday Americans on the grand jury stopped it. The 6 targets were right all along—don’t follow illegal orders. Speak truth to power. Because it will prevail.

Screenshot of headline reading:

Grand Jury Rebuffs Justice Dept. Attempt to Indict 6 Democrats in Congress The rejection was a remarkable rebuke, suggesting that ordinary citizens did not believe that the lawmakers had committed any crimes.

Today, Republicans failed to block action on Trump’s Canada tariffs — a win for Colorado workers, families, and small businesses. These tariffs raise costs and hurt local businesses. We are close to repealing this failed policy for good.

Trump: "So I put on a 30% tariff, which is very low. I got an emergency call from I believe the prime minister of Switzerland. She was very aggressive ... I didn't really like the way she talked to us, so instead of giving her a reduction, I raised it to 39%."

Priorities.

Just remember that 13 Americans have been shot by ice and two murdered.

Trump and his cronies are all over the Epstein files.

But yeah, a Spanish speaking American performer needs investigating, for outshining their stupid alternative.

The Puppy Bowl got an estimated 12 million views, from what I have seen.

Nearly doubled TPUSA and Kid Rock 😆

Bad Bunny was excellent.
Puppies are a solid runner up.

Kid Rock can disappear into insignificance where he, and MAGA, belong.
