They are not. In 1916 the U.S. entered an agreement w/Denmark in which in exchange for taking control of the islands of St. Croix, St. John, & St. Thomas (then the “Danish West Indies”), the U.S. would pay $25 million & not object to Danish control of Greenland. history.state.gov/historicaldo...

Chris Murphy: "At some level he's winning tonight because clearly part of his intent here was to distract the American people -- you and I -- from what's happening here at home. You have 20 million families who are getting massive increases in their healthcare premiums. People will die."

Epstein files. Still waiting.

This. Long overdue presence needed. Every. Single. Day.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion. Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits. This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

“A dark moment.”

Don’t give up. Resist.

Perhaps for the first time ever, Trump's "Truth Social" is featuring the actual truth rather than Trump's lies. This can't last. I predict that Trump will call in Musk or some other tech bro to "tune" the AI bot to deliver only "alternative facts" that support autocracy and racism.

This is an act of war and illegal under both US and international law, let’s just be clear about that:

Everyone should follow this alliance. Gun violence and deaths should be front and center, not fade into background noise. Sobering. We need change.

Here's the deal, says USDOJ to states: we're going to send you lists of voters we think are ineligible, and you're going to take them off the rolls. That "would hand the federal govt a major role in election admin, a responsibility that belongs to the states under the U.S. Constitution." [Stateline]

A public database of ice, ice agents, DHS, etc. Has now been built and it's entirely outside of the US and US government reach.

Trump’s cronies at the DOJ were so busy scrubbing the President’s name from the Epstein Files that they forgot to redact some mentions of victims — exposing survivors publicly. They care more about protecting Trump than protecting victims of sexual abuse.
