Congress should work on a bill saying that territory can only be added to the US through statehood and with the consent of the self-governed.

Trump says 8 European countries will be charged a 10% tariff for opposing US control of Greenland President Donald Trump says he'll charge a 10% import tax starting in February on goods from eight European countries because of opposition to U.S. control of Greenland.

I know they don’t want to piss off Trump, but I hope that the UK and Europe give a strong response back from this. They need Trump and the US to know that when it comes to sovereignty and self determination, that this is a red line, that they won’t tolerate.

I couldn’t stand to watch more than 5 minutes of the propaganda from the administration. But they’re talking about potentially going into Cuba. Openly saying that US oil companies are gonna go in to Venezuela and have money comeback to the US.

I can’t believe how normalized Trump has become that the president has called for the hanging of congressmen and I didn’t receive a news alert and it’s not even on the front page of the New York Times.

Gen Z has learned alot from growing up in the Trump era of CRONYISM.

They believe they qualified for roles they arent & who can tell them different when they see an entire government being run by people w/ no expertise? When experts are having to debate sycophants as if they are on the same level

Alarming considering the changes at CBS News, for the Ellisons to also have control of CNN.

Fantastic. The president “joking” about going to war with Chicago and using the American military to create an apocalypse. This is who the president of the United States is.

Trump names Strait, Stallone and KISS for Kennedy Center Honors and says he'll host the awards show President Donald Trump has announced country music start George Strait and “Rocky” actor Sylvester Stallone among the first batch of Kennedy Center Honors nominees in his new role as chairman.

There is such an “emergency” requiring the federalisation of the DC police, national guard and FBI, that Trump is announcing honorees to the Kennedy Center.

Art that is dictated by politicians is not art. Art should be lead by artists and not on what one man considers to be the “correct art”.

Pentagon plan would create military ‘reaction force’ for civil unrest Documents reviewed by The Post detail a new National Guard mission that, if adopted, would require hundreds of troops to be ready around-the-clock.

Using the military in this way, should not be normalised. The military are not police. This is something we see in Russia, Turkey and other authoritarian countries.

The excuse that is used is public safety, but is designed to chill dissent and create fear of the populace and self censorship.

Q. Have you ever socialized with Donald Trump in the presence of females under the age of
18?
A: Though l'd like to answer that question, at least today l'm going to have to assert my Fifth, Sixth, and 14th Amendment rights, sir.

Kari Lake says OAN's far-right coverage will fuel Voice of America Senior presidential adviser Kari Lake says Voice of America will rely on coverage from the far-right OAN network. OAN has offered unwavering support of President Trump.

So we can’t fund NPR/PBS because of “bias”. But we’re putting a Trump propaganda network on VoA

Trump accuses Zelensky of sabotaging U.S. peace plan for Ukraine "He has nothing to boast about! The situation for Ukraine is dire."

Russia is the one that won’t agree to a ceasefire. And the “peace plan” is a surrender to Russia. Why not put pressure on Putin?

dr. evil from the movie dumb and dumber is sitting in a chair . ALT: dr. evil from the movie dumb and dumber is sitting in a chair .

Trump appears to be using the Dr. Evil method of negotiations. One BILLION tariffs!

America just shot itself in the nuts to “own the libs”

Let’s stop with the face that Republicans are care about fiscal policy and reducing the deficit. Tariffs are sinking the markets.

Now Graham will bypass the parliamentarian to say that tax cuts on billionaires won’t increase the deficit, which everyone agrees it does.

Trump doesn't rule out military force to acquire Greenland Trump's comments undercut the pitch Vice President Vance made just last week.

Just a reminder that democracies don’t typically seize territories of allies against the will of the people who live there or our allies. This is Chinese and Russian type actions.

Turkey says 1,133 people arrested in five days and issues warning to protesters - live updates The protests began last week when Istanbul mayor Ekrem Imamoglu - a key opponent of President Erdogan - was arrested.

It’s scary to see Trump following a similar path as Erdogan at an even quicker pace. It’s easy to see the groundwork’s being laid for similar things happening in the US.

Trump signs order gutting Department of Education President Donald Trump signed an executive order to diminish the Department of Education at the White House on Thursday.

Just a reminder that the Trump administration is taking away money from children to give tax cuts to billionaires and corporations.

“Waste, fraud and abuse”

The administration is cutting funding to libraries and schools to fund tax cuts for billionaires and corporations.

How Trump Is Trying to Consolidate Power Over Courts, Congress and More President Trump’s expansive interpretation of presidential power has become the defining characteristic of his second term.

“The ultimate beneficiary of the acts that we’re seeing happen, whether it’s with the judiciary or other agencies, is Trump himself, because it’s an expansion of his personal power,” she said. “The scale and the speed of what’s going on is terrifying.”

I worry that Dem’s are making the Biden mistake all over again. It’s better to get Schumer out now, then when we’re in the budget fight and campaign season. Let’s get the leadership fight out of the way and have a leader who is going to be a strong opposition and communicator.

I guess this is what the President and Elon mean by “Waste, fraud and abuse”
