Sometimes being able to play the “sorry, my parents don’t let me talk to strangers” card has advantages.
OK, it’s happening again. Time for another round, I guess.
The Greenlandic 🇬🇱 head of government, J.-F. Nielsen, has rejected U.S. 🇺🇸 attempts to hold meetings without involving Denmark🇩🇰 Politiken.dk reports. According to an expert, this shows that the U.S has also internally tried to divide Greenland and Denmark. 🖕🇺🇸 #Maga #Trump #wh #usa #no-ally #Unreliable

The crazy thing here is that a political appointee can change a scientific opinion on whim. It is like if the USGS were told to say the world is flat.

It's one thing to compromise on policy matters, it's another to compromise on human and civil rights.
"Political leaders should..."
Compromise to get things done, even if they don't like some parts of the compromise: 80%
Stick to their beliefs and avoid compromise, even if little gets done: 18%

I have abundant faith in America's ability to assimilate and incorporate new immigrants. We have done it time and again and can do it now to provide the foundation of future prosperity, if only we keep the faith in our New Colossus.

Talk about fundraising costs… this is ridiculous. Medecins Sans Frontieres send me a “multifunction pen flashlight” as part of their donation solicitation.

SNAP should be universal, not supplemental. Food is one of the most basic necessities for life.
Every American should get the full benefit: ~$250-300 per person per month, +/- depending on age, gender, and household composition. Raise everyone’s income taxes to collect an equal amount to cover it.

They are already downsizing (not rightsizing) SNAP via back door administrative means. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-big-be...
Rollins on why Americans will have to reapply for SNAP: "Clearly there's a right-sizing that needs to happen. The unintended consequence of the Democrat shutdown is now the spotlight has been shined on and we have to make sure we're able to make sure it's going to the right people."

⚠️The Olympic Pipeline is said to have been compromised late last week near Everett, Washington, shutting the pipeline down again, while a partial restart was said to have happened yesterday. Gas prices may see slight impacts in OR/WA.

"Landman" is straight-up fossil fuel propaganda, being piped into millions of homes a week.

This is correct! Researchers find that a) most people underestimate the administrative burdens of immigration, and b) when informed about these burdens become more supportive of immigration.
