Good point. Trump has convinced his cult that he is “America First.” He is Trump First - and that means seeking out corrupt leaders around the world to do business with who run the kind of oligarchic regimes that he envies. Nothing he does overseas benefits average Americans.

Trump: I need to take over Greenland now, because if I don’t, Russia will. Also Trump: Vladimir will you please join my Board of Peace?

It was his decision to share his message with other NATO leaders,' said Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre. 'Norway’s position on Greenland is clear. Greenland is a part of the Kingdom of Denmark, and Norway fully supports the Kingdom of Denmark on this matter. We also support that NATO…

in a responsible way is taking steps to strengthen security and stability in the Arctic. As regards the Nobel Peace Prize, I have clearly explained, including to president Trump what is well known…

NEWS: Trump has invited Russian President Vladimir Putin and Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko to join his so-called “Board of Peace” to oversee Gaza.

imagine if a Democratic elected official talked about Republicans like this

NEWSNATION: Wouldn't sending in troops to Minneapolis make a bad thing even worse? REP. CHUCK FLEISCHMANN: I don't think so. We've seen the deployment of federal troops before as a safety net, as a group that comes in in full support of local and federal law enforcement and peacefulness

So basically Trump’s argument is that he only bothered talking about how much he supposedly wanted peace and performed substance-free publicity stunts to win a prize, but since that didn’t fool anyone he’s not going to bother with that charade anymore and will just invade Europe.

DOJ Senior Adviser Alina Habba on Jacob Frey: "We have a mayor who's a Somali sympathizer who we've seen dancing around on stage with their flag instead of an American flag"

The entire world knows we have a president who's mentally ill. When are we as a nation going to start talking about that?

New in PN: Trump's long-awaited healthcare "plan" is a joke "Is it great? No. Is it a plan? Not really. It is, however, in its combination of stupidity, ideological derangement, and unseriousness, a near-perfect expression of Trump and his party."

Vladimir Putin, a war criminal and dictator, has reportedly been invited to join the Board of Peace for Gaza - a sheer mockery of the horrific situations in Gaza and Ukraine, where the paths to peace remain fragile at best and countless lives hang in the balance. news.sky.com/story/putin-...

We sure this is for Minnesota and not Greenland?

I love this point in Margaret Sullivan's newsletter: "There should be far less emphasis on 'we don’t want to look biased,' and far more on 'how well are we doing our jobs of getting across the truth?'” It's not biased to call out authoritarian liars. 1/2🧵 @sulliview.bsky.social

This is the core issue. It cuts across all the others.

Nearly 100 members of Congress have signed on the effort so far. Tell Congress to impeach DHS Secretary Kristi Noem here: https://bit.ly/3ZkypO4 #ResistTrump

"Expanding candidate standing while continuing to restrict legislative standing appears to be yet another data point for the current Court’s inclination to limit legislative power especially when it’s being invoked in an attempt to rein in the executive branch." New "One First" on #SCOTUS in Bost:

EXACTLY. Wake the fuck up already.

This was the day that Charlie would do his podcasts about how black people had it so good until MLK ruined everything with the civil rights movement.

If you are unwilling to acknowledge the dangerous insanity of Donald Trump you are part of the problem.

The president of the US is a deranged power drunk moron and I am choosing my words with restraint out of respect for the office he holds. That the superempowered still back him is a sign of how little they care about anything outside their billionaire bubble.

Dems are determined to use the consumer resentments that cost them the last election against Trump, but I would argue it's only their own technocratic anti-politics that makes it an effective attack. Wielded against Trump, it becomes normalizing, sane-washing. Classic case of fighting the last war..

This is utterly deranged.

Jesus, legit insane

JFC. Trump is now blaming his bullying and demands to be given Greenland on not being awarded the Nobel Prize. Why should he be nice when they're being so mean to him and not giving him the prize he insists he deserves.

Nationalism is our form of incest, is our idolatry, is our insanity. 'Patriotism' is its cult...Just as love for one individual which excludes the love for others is not love, love for one's country which is not part of one's love for humanity is not love, but idolatrous worship. Erich Fromm

“Kind, good, happy, gentlemanly, secure people never go Nazi….But the frustrated and humiliated intellectual, the rich and scared speculator, the spoiled son, the labor tyrant, the fellow who has achieved success by smelling out the wind of success—they would all go Nazi in a crisis.” — D. Thompson*

There is not a law or constitutional requirement these thugs won’t violate

Bovino is such a fucking tool

Not sure how many suburban House Republicans want to be on record embracing everything Noem, Hegseth, Gabbard, RFK Jr have done. In any case, put the screws to them! And get attention paid to the atrocities.

An impeachment resolution is privileged, brought up on an expedited basis. It has an hour of debate. Votes on each article. They can be indirect – motions to table – but still votes. Two Republicans defecting and the cabinet member’s impeached. Votes against embrace evil. Incl swing district Rs

Maybe they can bring back one of their classic stage backdrops.

They’re sick.

Minnesota is more than what you see on TV. We’re a state that believes in the dignity of all people. We feed our kids and take care of our neighbors. I’m proud of the ways Minnesotans are meeting the moment with decency and generosity - as we always do. www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

I hope everyone realizes Trump is raising money to attack Democrats in the 2026 elections though a bribe-pardon mill.

Desantis’s pet troll Christina Pushaw is going through some things. It is only a matter of time before these people get exposed. Seems like all of these shady people have things to hide and it’s only a matter of time before it all comes out. Usually they rat out each other.

It was 10 degrees when they did this.

I like immigration enforcement agencies that don't shoot innocent women in the face and then say it's awesome.

Makary: "Why are medications prescription only? If you think about it, if a medication is safe, doesn't require laboratory test monitoring & can't be used in some nefarious way, why do we require a prescription? Most of the world does not do that. There's something magical about price transparency."

"Justice Department leadership ordered prosecutors about to start a major bribery trial to reach a more lenient deal with Puerto Rico’s former governor -- who had endorsed President Donald Trump -- and a billionaire represented by Trump’s personal lawyer..." news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...

Dumping our debt on the open market to plummet. Treasury Bonds ... all of it. 1930 Depression will be nothing to that -- only good thing is all these billions and trillions will be worth 1/2 pennies on the $$$ Trump is innumerate and cannot think any of this through even if he didn't have dementia

this is so insane.

WELKER: Is military action on the table? BESSENT: I believe the Europeans will understand that the best outcome is for the US to receive control of Greenland

This is where we are at. For what? For nothing. For stupidity. For ego. For an old, demented malignant narcissist who expects the world to jump at his every whim. Well, when you follow international news you can see that the world has pretty much had enough of his bullshit.
