Could this be another terror-related incident? Authorities in Toronto have reported that two men fired shots at the U.S. Consulate on Tuesday morning. Toronto’s police chief announced on the early hours of Tuesday morning, two suspects got out of a vehicle and fired multiple shots at the U.S. Consulate in downtown Toronto. The two suspects have not yet been identified and remain on the run. Here was the scene: BREAKING: Multiple shots were fired at the U.S. Consulate in Toronto, Canada. Two individuals were involved.

I warned everyone that Trump's war in Iran is only going to breed more… pic.twitter.com/L83HQy7So9 — Ed Krassenstein (@EdKrassen) March 10, 2026 The New York Times broke the news of the shooting: Two men fired at the U.S. Consulate in downtown Toronto on Tuesday, the city’s police force said. The shooters drove by the consulate, a heavily fortified beige building, at around 4:30 a.m., got out of a white Honda CR-V and both fired multiple shots using one handgun, Deputy Chief Frank Barredo of the Toronto Police Service told reporters. No one was injured. Television images showed what appeared to be at least two marks left by bullets in a glass door at the main entrance. The Consulate is on a busy and wide boulevard that leads to Ontario’s legislature and is lined by major courthouses and hospitals. Part of the road directly in front of the building was closed at sunrise. Officers who arrived in a large forensics van were photographing the largely stone facade of the building, which has several cameras mounted outside. The police were asking for help from witnesses who might have captured footage on dashboard cameras. The Consulate, which is also near City Hall, is often the scene of protests against the United States, including a demonstration this weekend against the American and Israeli attack on Iran. The authorities said additional security would be provided to the American and Israeli consulates in Toronto and Ottawa. Last week, shots were fired at three synagogues in Toronto. “These consulates deserve a heightened amount of vigilance and security at this time in the hopes that we can bring the temperature down in the coming days and weeks,” said Chris Leather, a chief superintendent with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

Tuesday’s attack followed the explosion of an improvised explosive device outside the US Embassy in Oslo, Norway, early Sunday. Police were still searching for a suspect in that case and were investigating whether the attack was linked to Operation Epic Fury, which entered its 11th day Tuesday.

Under Mayor Zohran Mamdani, New York is scarily spiraling into a full-blown terror state. Since two Muslim terrorists tried to bomb an anti-Islam protest over the weekend, the NYPD has already discovered two “suspicious devices” in NYC. On Sunday, we brought you this report: JUST IN: NYPD Discovers ANOTHER “Suspicious Device” in Parked Vehicle Near Gracie Mansion And now, yet another “suspicious package” has been found near the mayor’s residence, Gracie Mansion, which is where the attempted terror attack took place on Saturday. This time, the “suspicious device” was found in Carl Schurz Park, which has since been evacuated by the NYPD. Watch this clip from Fox News: JUST IN: NYPD now has the BOMB SQUAD and BOMB sniffing dogs at the scene of a "SUSPICIOUS DEVICE" near the site of an attempted Islamic bombing just a couple days ago Traffic is now blocked off "A suspicious device was located in a nearby park. Someone called it in."… pic.twitter.com/PsgEtQNIKN — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) March 10, 2026 The NYPD released this statement: ADVISORY: Due to a suspicious device, East End Avenue between East 85th and East 87th Street, as well as East 86th Street between York Avenue and East End Avenue are closed to vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Additionally, Carl Schurz Park is closed at this time. — NYPD NEWS (@NYPDnews) March 10, 2026 At this time, police have not confirmed whether or not the device was a live bomb or just a false alarm. NBC New York reported: The NYPD responded to a suspicious device located near Gracie Mansion, several days after two men lit a homemade explosive in what law enforcement has called an “ISIS-inspired terrorism” incident in Manhattan. A senior law enforcement source said the latest device was discovered near Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s residence on Tuesday, but it was not immediately clear if it was a real explosive, a hoax, or something else discarded near the scene. The NYPD posted a bulletin on social media telling New Yorkers to avoid the area near Carl Schurz Park. Officers were seen escorting people out of the park and placing caution tape and barriers around the perimeter. However, rightfully so, many New York citizens are terrified by the recent events. CBS News shared some statements from local officials and residents: The neighborhood has been on edge after this weekend, when two Pennsylvania teens were arrested over the weekend for allegedly bringing improvised explosive devices to a protest outside Gracie Mansion as part of “an act of ISIS-inspired terrorism,” New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said. The NYPD said East End Avenue between 85th Street and 87th Street was closed Tuesday while the bomb squad investigates. “I have been briefed by [Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch] on a suspicious device found in Carl Schurz Park in my district. To ensure our community remains safe, we encourage everyone to follow the NYPD’s guidance and stay away from the area,” New York City Council Speaker Julie Menin posted on social media. “We had the thing yesterday, again, the whole street was closed off,” resident Brendan Ryan said. “And now this again.” “We’ve never had an event like this, as you can imagine, so there’s obviously concern,” one area resident said. “The police seem to have been timely and have matters in hand very quickly.” “You live in New York City today, you have to pay attention no matter what you’re doing. It’s as simple as that,” Ryan said. I can’t say that New York isn’t getting exactly what they voted for. We tried to warn them.

Mark Meadows just posted a list of the 25 Republican Senators NOT currently signed on to the Standing Filibuster. See here: Again, here are all the GOP Senators that are not yet on the list. Feel free to invite them to show their support! John Barrasso (WY)John Boozman (AR)Shelley Moore Capito (WV)Susan Collins (ME)Tom Cotton (AR)Kevin Cramer (ND)Mike Crapo (ID)John Curtis (UT)Steve Daines… — Mark Meadows (@MarkMeadows) March 9, 2026 FULL LIST: John Barrasso (WY) John Boozman (AR) Shelley Moore Capito (WV) Susan Collins (ME) Tom Cotton (AR) Kevin Cramer (ND) Mike Crapo (ID) John Curtis (UT) Steve Daines (MT) Deb Fischer (NE) Lindsey Graham (SC) Chuck Grassley (IA) John Hoeven (ND) Jim Justice (WV) John Kennedy (LA) James Lankford (OK) Mitch McConnell (KY) Jerry Moran (KS) Lisa Murkowski (AK) Pete Ricketts (NE) Tim Scott (SC) John Thune (SD) Thom Tillis (NC) Roger Wicker (MS) Todd Young (IN) You might be a little confused by this list seeing some of the names on there and thinking these people were in support of the SAVE Act. Most are. Like John Kennedy and Chuck Grassley, for example. So why are they on the list? This is not a list for who is in support of the SAVE Act.  This is a list for who is in support of using the Talking Filibuster. As usual, Republicans can never agree to unite around a cause, they have to fight amongst themselves on how to get there. Meanwhile, Democrats will lie, cheat and steal to get the result they want.  They will band together and do whatever it takes. But not the Republicans. Republicans fracture and die a thousand cuts. So stupid! This explains it a little better: Senator John Kennedy and the SAVE Act According to recent reports, Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) is indeed a co-sponsor of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act and has publicly expressed strong support for passing it to enhance election security by requiring proof of citizenship for federal voter registration. Legislative Predictions and Strategy Support and Priority: He has predicted that the bill will ultimately pass the Senate and reach President Trump’s desk, emphasizing its priority status. The Reconciliation Approach: Kennedy has specifically advocated for using the budget reconciliation process(which allows passage with a simple majority of 51 votes) as a way to “short-circuit” the standard legislative hurdles. The Filibuster Distinction: He has not committed to the standing filibuster tactic being pushed by Mark Meadows and Trump to force the issue. Current Standing This alternative approach appears to be why he’s included on Meadows’ list of GOP senators not yet supporting the filibuster method, even though he aligns with the bill’s goals. No recent statements from Kennedy indicate a shift in his position as of March 10, 2026.

If you’re like me, you might have been confused over the last few weeks about why we’re suddenly talking about the Republican Party trying to invoke the “Standing Filibuster”. You might think the Filibuster is something the Minority Party does to try and slow down or stop the Majority Party from passing new legislation. And you’d be right! So isn’t this something Democrats would be doing, not the Republicans? It’s all quite confusing, but I think I can help explain what’s going on here. Here we go: You’re right about the basics of how the filibuster usually works in the Senate today — it’s primarily a minority-party tool to delay or kill legislation. The minority doesn’t need a vote to “start” it; they just object or place a hold. The majority’s main job is usually to file a cloture motion (to end debate) and try to get 60 votes to overcome it. If cloture fails, the bill stalls without much drama. But that’s the modern “silent” filibuster (the version that’s been standard since the 1970s). What Mark Meadows and other conservatives are publicly whipping votes for right now with the SAVE America Act (also called the SAVE Act — the House-passed bill requiring proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections) is a deliberate push to force the old-school “talking” or “standing” filibuster instead. Quick context on the current fight (March 2026) Republicans control the Senate (narrow majority, around 53-47). The SAVE Act passed the House and has strong GOP support (Trump has made it a top priority for election integrity). Democrats are united against it and have promised to block it. Under normal rules, Republicans can’t get the 60 votes needed for cloture, so the bill would die quietly with a failed procedural vote. No long speeches, no spectacle. What “supporting the talking filibuster” actually means Meadows’ post (and the daily “whip count” updates) is not about Republicans filibustering the bill themselves or “voting to start” a filibuster. It’s about pressuring GOP senators to commit to an aggressive procedural strategy as the majority party: Senate Majority Leader (or whoever controls the floor) brings the SAVE Act up for debate. Instead of immediately filing cloture (which would fail and end things quietly), they keep the Senate in continuous session with unlimited debate. Under traditional Senate rules, Democrats (the minority) would then have to actually get up, stand at the podium, and talk continuously — often for hours or days — to keep delaying a final vote. They can’t just sit down or leave; they have to hold the floor (tag-teaming is possible but still exhausting and visible). Meanwhile, Republicans have to stay united and keep at least 51 senators available on or near the floor at all times (for quorum calls and to vote down Democratic amendments, which only need a simple majority). The goal of the hardliners (Mike Lee, Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Meadows, Trump allies, etc.) Make the Democratic obstruction extremely public and politically painful (“Why are they filibustering a bill to stop non-citizens from voting?”). Physically and politically wear the Democrats down so they eventually stop talking or cave. Allow the bill to advance to a simple 51-vote passage without ever getting 60 votes for cloture. It’s not automatic — that’s why Meadows is posting lists of supportive GOP senators (Cruz, Hawley, Lee, etc.) and publicly calling out the holdouts (Thune, McConnell, Collins, Cotton, Graham, etc.). Forcing a real talking filibuster requires near-total Republican unity and a big time commitment. Many Senate GOP leaders (including Majority Leader John Thune) have said openly that the conference isn’t unified on this, it could paralyze the Senate for weeks, it risks backfiring, and they prefer other priorities. Why this feels confusing You’re thinking of the filibuster as something the minority does on its own. In the silent version, yes. But the majority party controls the schedule and the rules of engagement. By choosing to force the talking version, Republicans are essentially saying: “If you want to kill this popular bill, you’re going to have to stand there and explain why — on live C-SPAN, for days.” It’s a tactic to turn the filibuster against the minority and make it costly for them. Republicans still aren’t “voting in the filibuster” or doing the talking — Democrats would be. The GOP senators are just being asked to publicly commit to the floor fight needed to make it happen. This is why you’re seeing all the intra-Republican pressure posts right now. It’s a very specific, high-stakes internal strategy debate over how aggressively to push the SAVE Act. The “talking filibuster” supporters want the spectacle and the pressure; the skeptics think it’s too risky and disruptive. How incredibly stupid can they get? Republicans have the Majority in the Senate right now… They have two easy paths to immediately pass The SAVE Act. Path 1: Terminate the Filibuster and send the SAVE Act through with a 51/49 Vote.  Easy. Path 2: Pass the SAVE Act via budget reconciliation, again with a 51/49 Vote.  Also easy. EITHER OF THESE WILL WORK! But the truth is, most Republicans are completely compromised and totally captured, either via Blackmail or Bribery or Threats against their families. The truth is, they’re not making their own decisions and that’s why millions of Americans are screaming into their TVs about how John Thune better wise up and realize what he’s doing is wrong! But that will never happen. Because people like John Thune and many others are not thinking for themselves. They’ve been compromised and taken out of the game, forced to do what their masters tell them. So they keep you divided and confused and this is a perfect example! We have a 51/49 Majority, and we’ve completely split that Majority down the middle by putting half the Senate Republicans in Path 1 and the other half in Path 2. How utterly stupid! They think Americans won’t notice. But I noticed. Both paths work, but they want you to think we just can’t get the votes. We have the votes but they created a news cycle designed to make you think Republicans just can’t get the votes, meanwhile they split Republicans into two completely nonsensical and unnecessary camps. Completely wrong. Completely fake. Completely diabolical. And no one is noticing. No one except me.

Sadly, a total of 8 were severely wounded and are still receiving intense medical care. But, there is also some good news — 108 out of the 140 soldiers injured have already healed and returned to service! ABC News shared a statement from the Chief Pentagon Spokesman: Since the start of the war with Iran, 140 U.S. service members have been wounded, but a majority of the injuries have been minor, according to the Pentagon. “Since the start of Operation Epic Fury, approximately 140 U.S. service members have been wounded over 10 days of sustained attacks,” Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement on Tuesday. “The vast majority of these injuries have been minor, and 108 service members have already returned to duty.
