Trump admin to withdraw 700 federal officers from Minnesota: Homan

The Trump administration will draw down 700 federal law enforcement officers from Minnesota “effective immediately,” border czar Tom Homan said Wednesday.

After that partial withdrawal, around 2,000 federal agents will remain in the state — a roughly 25% reduction — with most concentrated in the Twin Cities area encompassing Minneapolis and St. Paul, Homan said at a press conference.

Homan announced the pullback after touting “unprecedented cooperation” between the federal government and state and local entities.

For Peace, More Ukrainians Consider the Once Unthinkable: Surrendering Land

Khrystyna Yurchenko worked hard to build a life in the eastern Ukrainian region known as the Donbas, where she poured her energy into the popular dance studio she owns.

But she would give it all up, she said, for lasting peace. Ms. Yurchenko is among a growing number of Ukrainians who say they would hand over the part of the Donbas still controlled by Ukraine to Russia if that would end the war.

This represents a notable shift for a war-weary Ukrainian population. Giving up territory that Russia has been unable to capture has long been considered a red line. But what once seemed impossible now appears less so, as the Kremlin insists that U.S.-backed peace negotiations will advance only if Ukraine agrees to walk away from the Donbas.

JOHNSON: Conservatives are wrong about conversion therapy, woke Left even worse

At the Conservative Party of Canada’s national convention in Calgary, the proposal to remove the ban on conversion therapy was defeated despite receiving a narrow majority of popular support from delegates. The proposal failed because it did not meet the party’s “double majority” requirement for constitutional and policy changes. Delegates were 52% in favour of opposing the ban. They also debated hot button issues such as DEI, abortion, and immigration. With polarization at an all time high, the issue risks crashing out with alienated grassroots, and not enough competency to discern the subject from atrocious woke policies.

Flirty Emails and Chummy Photos Show How Far Epstein Reached Into Business World

Casey Wasserman was in Italy for the Winter Olympics, scheduled to make a presentation to the International Olympic Committee on the progress of the 2028 Los Angeles Games. Peter Attia, the longevity doctor with cult followers and a bestselling book, was days into a new role as a CBS News contributor. And Brett Ratner was promoting “Melania,” his documentary about the first lady—his first film since 2017, when six women accused him of sexual misconduct.

All three men had reached—or returned to—the pinnacle of their industries in February 2026. And all three, it turned out, had secrets in the Epstein files.

I feel sorry for her.

The 51st state bait and switch that rattled Canadian voters

It was the rhetoric no one saw coming from a President supposedly dedicated to law and order: threats not just to limit or alter trade with Canada, but “absorb” the country altogether as the 51st State. Falsely labeled as a solution to fentanyl abuse and alleged subsidies, coupled with “liberating” Canada from its far-left leader and lowering taxes, the 51st state narrative sprung to life from nowhere, dispersed like wildfire, and directly influenced an election handily going to Pierre Poilievre straight into Mark Carney’s hands.

NATO sets Arctic mission plans in motion

NATO on Tuesday said “planning is underway” for an Arctic mission, coming weeks after US President Donald Trump frayed the strategic alliance by claiming the US needs to control Greenland to avert unverified security concerns from Russia and China.

Martin O’Donnell, a spokesman for NATO’s Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe, told reporters that a “NATO enhanced vigilance activity” will “further strengthen NATO’s posture in the Arctic and High North.” He did not provide further details as planning has just begun.

A Toronto crack cocaine dealer caught back in business three times over the course of ten months managed to convince a judge that he deserves some leniency because putting him behind bars would mean hardship for his nine children, but not because he’s addicted to the drugs he was caught peddling.

Why a Growing Number of Canadians Are Leaving the Country for Good—and What’s Driving Them Away

Lauren Chervinski left Canada two years ago and says she has no regrets. The 34-year-old Winnipeg native, who lived in Vancouver for her last seven years in Canada, moved to West Palm Beach, Florida, with her husband in August 2024. She says her new home offers increased financial opportunity, cheaper real estate prices, and safer streets.

Running a small yacht repair company with her husband, Chervinski said they saw their revenue grow by 50 percent in the first year.

“The most common theme I hear among people who want to leave Canada is that they’re not confident in the direction that the country is headed,” she said in an interview, noting that she’s heard this feedback from Canadians she’s helped move as part of her consulting business, as well as the expats she’s met in Florida.
