Vice President JD Vance will announce Wednesday afternoon that $259.5 million in Medicaid funds for Minnesota won’t be reimbursed pending investigation — along with a national pause on firms that can seek subsidies through Medicare for durable medical equipment like canes and walkers, The Post has learned. Vance will appear alongside Dr. Mehmet Oz, administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, to make the announcement — one day after President Trump announced a “war on fraud” in his State of the Union address. The unusual mass-withholding of reimbursement to Minnesota impacts nearly half of the receipts submitted for the low-income Medicaid program in the past fiscal quarter. The “deferment” focuses

Schools Roll Out Special Ramadan Perks
for Muslim Students 13 replies
We are nearly one week into Ramadan – the month-long commemoration of the time when Muslims believe the Quran was first revealed to the Prophet Muhammad – and it sounds like Muslim public school students in Virginia are enjoying some serious Ramadan perks that don't seem to be offered to students of other religions when they celebrate their holiest days. One X account that tracks the political goings-on in the Charlottesville area discovered that local students who observe Ramadan are able to partake of special prayer rooms and can grab to-go meals before they depart school at the end of the day. The local CBS affiliate had glowingly reported
Colorado Democrats have filed a bill that could make it the first state to decriminalize prostitution, and critics warn that the bill would make the Centennial State the “Wild West” for purchasing sex and lead to an increase in human trafficking.
“We have a billion-dollar budget shortfall here in Colorado, and so there’s a lot of talk about budget and affordability and cost of living,” Jarvis Caldwell, the Republican minority leader in the state House of Representatives, told The Daily Signal in an interview Wednesday.
“This isn’t the Republicans’ idea of making things more affordable, by making it easier to sell yourself for
On February 25, 2026, a striking and controversial moment unfolded at Old Trafford, the legendary home stadium of Manchester United in England.
For the first time in over a century, the Adhan, or Islamic call to prayer, was broadcast through the stadium’s speakers.
This occurred during a special Ramadan Iftar event, the meal that breaks the daily fast during the Muslim holy month. The gathering was organized by the Manchester United Muslim Supporters Club (MUMSC), an officially recognized fan group, in partnership with the club itself.
Old Trafford, known as the “Theatre of Dreams” thanks to Manchester United legend Sir Bobby Charlton, is England’s largest club soccer stadium.

how Biden regime got illegals on commercial flights… 4 replies
Every now and then, some dirt surfaces that make everyday Americans stop and ask a very simple question: who on earth thought this was a good idea? That is exactly where we are now. But this “dirt” actually surfaced a year ago, and many people missed it. And we also know who thought this disaster we’re about to tell you about was a “good idea.” It is the Biden regime.
You’re going to want to sit down for this doozy.
Thanks to a lawsuit against TSA, disturbing new details are emerging about how illegals without traditional ID were allowed to board commercial flights during the Biden era. And buried inside the
Gov. Tim Walz denounced the Trump administration’s latest threat to withhold federal funds from Minnesota as another step in a “retribution” campaign as he unveiled a package of legislation Thursday intended to fight fraud in public programs, a persistent problem that provided an impetus for the federal government’s immigration crackdown in Minnesota.
The Democratic governor made the announcement a day after Vice President JD Vance said the administration would “temporarily halt” some Medicaid funding to Minnesota over fraud concerns, as part of what he described as an aggressive drive against the misuse of public funds.
Walz’s proposals were in the works well before Vance’s announcement.

A former U.S. Air Force officer and fighter pilot was arrested Wednesday, according to a Department of Justice press release issued February 25.
Gerald Eddie Brown Jr., 65, a retired Air Force major known by the call sign “Runner,” was arrested in Jeffersonville, Indiana. Brown faces charges under the Arms Export Control Act (AECA) for allegedly conspiring to provide defense services to pilots in China’s People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF).
Brown is scheduled to appear before a U.S. Magistrate Judge in the Southern District of Indiana on February 26.
“The United States Air Force trained Major Brown to be an elite fighter pilot and entrusted him with the defense of our
The FBI subpoenaed Kash Patel and Susie Wiles' phone records in 2022 and 2023, when both were private citizens, as part of a federal probe into then former President Donald Trump, Fox News has confirmed. Patel is the current FBI director, and Wiles is White House chief of staff.
At least 10 FBI employees were fired Wednesday, Fox News has been told. Names were not given due to privacy reasons.
Reuters first disclosed the subpoenas, which were issued during the Biden administration, while special counsel Jack Smith was investigating Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election and his handling of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago.

The death of Jesse Jackson, who got his start lying about holding MLK’s body in his arms, shaking down companies with fake racism accusations to get franchises for his sons, and subsidize his affair and his out-of-wedlock baby, has given a boost to his criminal son.
Jesse Jackson Jr, a former Obama campaign co-chair, had been busted and sent to prison for making off with $750,000 in campaign cash and spending over $10,000 on Michael Jackson memorabilia, including $8,500 on two fedoras, not to mention $800 on a mink cashmere cape, is relaunching a campaign for his old House seat in Chicago, while exploiting his father’s death.
How to Get a Birth Certificate for Dummies:

A Guide for Democrats Who Oppose Secure Elections 22 replies
The Democratic Party’s latest talking point against the SAVE Act is almost performance art in its absurdity.
We are now expected to believe that birth certificates are mystical documents, whispered about in legend but never actually seen. They are simply too elusive for modern Americans to locate and too burdensome for a civilized society to require.
Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom and socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders, an independent from Vermont, have both recently claimed they do not know where their vital records are, as though those documents vanished into the same void as missing socks. “I don’t have my birth certificate,” Sanders said last week. “God knows how I get it.”
A “toxic chemical” deliberately dumped on the ice rink outside the Trump-Kennedy Center “severely damaged” the surface and forced the cancellation of a performance, furious administration officials said Friday.
“Trump-Kennedy Center was targeted today in a malicious act of vandalism,” Roma Daravi, the vice president of public relations for the Washington, DC, venue, wrote on X.
“Our outdoor plaza was doused with a toxic chemical and severely damaged,” Daravi continued. “We will not tolerate violence or hate at America’s cultural center.
“Authorities are investigating and those responsible will be held accountable.”
Virginia Democrats have planned a statewide referendum with perhaps the most diabolically Orwellian question in the history of modern democracy.
“Should the Constitution of Virginia be amended to allow the General Assembly to temporarily adopt new congressional districts to restore fairness in the upcoming elections, while ensuring Virginia’s standard redistricting process resumes for all future redistricting after the 2030 census?”
Obviously, relatively disengaged voters will see this question and go, “Restore fairness? Sure, I vote yes.” So let me break down what it actually means.
First, newly empowered Virginia Dems redrew the maps for House seats in the most comical fashion.
Here’s the old map. And here’s the redrawn map.

Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN-5) is demanding a full investigation after Capitol Police arrested her guest during President Trump’s State of the Union address Tuesday night — and the woman they hauled out might look awfully familiar to RedState readers.
The congresswoman invited 43-year-old Minneapolis activist Aliya Rahman — the same far-left agitator who went viral in January when ICE agents dragged her from her car during immigration enforcement operations in her home state — to sit in the gallery as her personal guest. Wouldn't you know it, somebody as attention-seeking and willing to intentionally get arrested to interfere in law enforcement actions as Rahman, seated next to a lawmaker

Rep. Janelle Bynum (D-OR) says President Donald Trump’s asking lawmakers to stand for American citizens over illegal aliens was “thinly veiled racist language.”
During Trump’s first State of the Union (SOTU) address of his second term, he asked members of Congress to “stand up if you agree with this statement: The first duty of American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.”
In response, all Republicans present stood for the statement, while no Democrats present stood up. Footage of Democrats has quickly gone viral as nearly all did not clap for the statement either.

The Secret Service has removed a gun from the home of a Michigan man who said he wanted to “shoot” President Trump.
On Tuesday night, during a Warren City Council meeting, retired professor Wesley Arnold stated, “I ordered a high-powered ATL 36X arriving shortly, which I hope to actually use to shoot the president of the United States. I’m not kidding.”
He added, “This is a very high, powerful item. It’s great for a headshot at a distance. I didn’t want it to be delivered by drone because I wouldn’t want something like that to be in the wrong hands.”

Sometimes all you can do is just shake your head. When you read about the tragic murder of young Ukrainian immigrant Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte, North Carolina, in August 2025, and then find out that her killer had at least 14 prior arrests, you want to cry or bang your head against the wall.
The blue state style of justice brings one thing: victims of heartbreaking violence.
A recent decision by a parole board in Gavin Newsom’s California seems to say, “we don’t actually give a rat’s butt about the victims, both past and future, and the criminals’ lives are more important than your own.”
To wit:

It's an issue that seems to have no end. Illegal immigrants driving 80,000-pound, fully loaded 18-wheelers across the nation, who barely speak English and cannot read road signs. Dozens of Americans have been injured or killed on America's highways because of these illegal immigrants who entered the country because of Joe Biden's open border. It's one thing to read about these tragedies that never should have taken place. It is quite another when you see it happening. In this case, it is nothing short of a miracle that there was not another fatality.
National media coverage of Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s Texas Senate campaign has led to direct confrontations with journalists, including the removal of an Atlantic reporter from a rally and a call to Capitol Police over a CNN reporter’s visit to a campaign office.
Semafor shared that security personnel directed Atlantic reporter Elaine Godfrey to leave a campaign rally for Rep. Jasmine Crockett in Texas on Monday. The outlet wrote that Godfrey has reported on Crockett in depth and that the coverage appeared to “frustrate” the congresswoman. Crockett had previously agreed to participate in a profile with the reporter last year, but later informed her that she was “shutting down

I've got good news and bad news about AI. The good news is that the dreaded "Skynet" takeover of our nuclear weapons systems isn't going to happen soon. The bad news is that if it ever does give us a Terminator scenario, we're toast.
A war game exercise carried out by Kenneth Payne at King’s College London, using three teams running simulations on Chat GPT-5.2, Claude Sonnet 4, and Gemini 3 Flash. The teams "played 21 war games against each other over 329 turns," according to Implicator.AI's Marcus Schuler. "They wrote roughly 780,000 words explaining why they did what they did," he noted.

Democrats are scrambling to do damage control after refusing to stand when President Trump asked lawmakers to affirm that their duty is to the American people over illegal immigrants. As many people are already criticizing the party for walking into what many viewed as a carefully laid political trap. With attack ads all but certain to follow, Democrats are now working to reframe the moment and blunt its impact on the 2026 midterm elections. [Tweet, video]
