βColorado Gov. Jared Polis signaled he may be willing to grant clemency to a pro-Trump election worker who was thrown in jail for a 2020 scheme attempting to find proof of election fraud.
Donald has pressured βPolis to release Tina Peters, 70, since he returned to office last year.β
In a blow to House GOP, Rep Darrell Issa (R-CA) wonβt run for re-election, increasing the pool of GOP more likely to buck leadershipβmaybe even move to vacate the Speaker.
The wave of incumbent retiring further complicates the GOPβs goal of holding the House in the midterms when polls favor Dems.
The February jobs report is out. They had estimated that 50,000 jobs would be added. In actuality, 92,000 jobs have been lost. Unemployment rate was estimated to be 4.3% and it is actually 4.4%.
Looks like weβve been in a recession for a while, as I believed.
Weβre just getting these numbers, but the White House has some advance notice & still went rushing into this war?
As the data continues to come into the Bureau of Labor, the trend has been to downgrade to reported figures. Hmmm.
Picture of the robot comparing our solutions. I had six steps to resolve the puzzle with a luck. Score of 27. The robot says unsolved and a score of 24 for luck. But the robot was unable to complete the puzzle. On the top, it says: βI tried solving it on my own, and you have succeeded where I failed. I doubt my cap to you.β

GOP Rep. Tony Gonzalez Was Pressured Into Dropping His Re-election Bid.
The Pressure Campaign to Get Either Paxton or Cornyn to Drop Out Continues.
Itβs wild that Brandon Herrera couldnβt beat Gonzalez outright given the scandal. With Gonzalez out, Herrera now runs against Dem Katy Padilla Stout.
So upsetting!
For some context, 2024 was the first time in 100 years that Starr County voted red. Itβs not as though it was deeply red for 100 years and now went blue.

From a social media post from FBI Director Kash Patel: βLast night, John Daghita - a U.S. government contractor who allegedly stole more than $46 million in cryptocurrency from the U.S Marshals Service - was arrested on the island of Saint Martin by the French Gendarmerie's premier elite tactical unit in a joint operation with the @FBI. βThanks to the International Cooperatio...β
Why does the U.S. Marshall Service have such a huge cache of cryptocurrency? How was $46 million worth so accessible?

Sen. Steve Daines (GOP-MT) withdraw his candidacy at 4:57 p.m. At 4:52, Republican US Attorney for the District of Montana since 3/25 Kurt Alme filed paperwork to run for Senator. Shortly afterward, Donald endorsed Alme. The deadline to run for Senator was 5:00 p.m.
Sigh.
Would Tester have run?
When the government asked for a stay of the lower court ruling on appeal, in its appellate papers, the gov said should it lose on appeal, it would refund all of the tariffs. Probably the Gov would not have gotten the stay otherwise. Ridiculous for the Gov to claim it has no plan or needs more time.
Social media post by Karoline Leavitt Riccio: "As important as what Trump is doing is how he's doing it. With Operation Epic Fury, we are witnessing the birth of a new doctrine to guide U.S. global leadership in the 21st century: the Trump Doctrine."

I believe the woman is Erika Donald, Byron Donaldβs wife. No clue why CBS is using her photo here. Intimidation?
I like Thom Tollisβs energy & moral clarity as he lambasts Noem. Makes him seem like he might have a backbone.
Too bad his spine firmed up just as heβs resigning. Letβs hope he takes some meaningful steps to restore our democracy on his way out & doesnβt just scuttle toward the door.
The Dow had dropped by 2.38% when I took this photo from yesterdayβs market and was down to 47, 741.31.
The stock marketβs crashing. Thereβs a sell-off on US bonds, raising the yield, which will raise mortgage rates & the interest the Gov pays on the debt.
And the price of gold and silver is falling too! Crazy!
Can someone explain the sell-off on gold & silver?

Show pictures from a graphic made by the weeknight on MSNOW about gas prices from CNBC: How high can oil and gas prices go because of the Iran war? Here are the scenarios By Spencer Kimball I March 2, 2026 βA war that lasts more than three weeks would exhaust the Gulf countries storage capacity as barrels build up with nowhere to go, forcing them to shut down production... Under that scenario, Brent - the global benchmark for oil prices β could hit $120 per barrel, the JPMorgan analyst said.β βThe last time oil prices reached $100 per barrel was after Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. Gasoline prices in the U.S. hit a national average, all-time high of $5.016 per gallon by June, according to the motorist group AAA.β And social media post by former treasury secretary, Janet Yellen says: βFormer Treasury Secretary Yellen said, depending on how long the Iran conflict affects the oil market, there will be both a hit to US economic growth and an increase in inflationary pressures, complicating the job for the Federal Reserve.β
If the war lasts more than 3 weeks, the USA national average for gas could be $7 or $8 a gallon. And that would cause higher inflation. Much higher.
