Arctic security can only be achieved together.

This is why the proposed additional tariffs are a mistake, especially between long-standing allies.

The EU and US have agreed to a trade deal last July.

A deal is a deal.

And when friends shake hands, it must mean something.

Territorial integrity and sovereignty are fundamental principles of international law. They are essential for Europe and for the international community as a whole.

The Norwegian Nobel Prize committee has been forced to make a statement, declaring that the prize cannot be transferred.

GERMAN PRESIDENT STEINMEIER:

β€œ.. the United States has broken with the values that it helped to establish ..

β€œ.. we have now moved beyond the stage where we can lament the lack of respect for international law or the erosion of the international order; we are far beyond that, I believe.”

Following very closely the situation in Venezuela.

We stand by the people of Venezuela and support a peaceful and democratic transition.

Any solution must respect international law and the UN Charter.

Trump's Venezuela Attack: It’s All About the Oil, Stupid! Here are five times Donald Trump himself admitted that illegally attacking Venezuela and toppling NicolΓ‘s Maduro was aimed at seizing the country’s massive oil reserves.

In his 2019 memoir The Threat, former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe quotes first-term Trump saying Venezuela was β€œthe country we should be going to war with, they have all that oil and they’re right on our back door.”

The federal minimum wage has been $7.25 since 2009. That's unacceptable.

In California, we're about growing the economy and wages for working people:
πŸ’΅ $16.90 minimum wage
πŸ’΅ $25 minimum wage for health care workers
πŸ’΅ $20 minimum wage for fast food workers

Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about.

California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50.

California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections.

Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.

Is there a better indication of how superficial and unhelpful mainstream media has become than that they are cutely musing about whether the domestic terrorist who changed "The Department of Defense" to "The Department of War" will get a Nobel Peace Prizeβ€”instead of reporting the fascism/terrorism.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful β€” I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its ownβ€”it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.
