“The Trump administration put further pressure on Copenhagen yesterday, when it suspended leases for five large offshore wind projects being built off the East Coast of the US, including two ⁠being developed by Denmark's state-controlled Orsted.”
'We have to have it' - Trump says US needs Greenland
US President Donald Trump reasserted that the United States needs Greenland for its national security and said a special envoy he ⁠appointed to the Arctic island would "lead the charge".

Holy shit! WTF?!?
We have clearly lost our minds..
It feels like a public gaslighting by a really horrible boyfriend who justifies raping someone because of the needs of their loins. “It’s just that I have needs that no one woman could ever fulfill. So, I see what I want and I take it.”

Well into his second term, the president and his allies have continued aggressively raising money. Many donors have interests before his administration, The Times found.

The 60 Minutes piece on the Trump Administration’s torture prison that Bari Weiss doesn’t want you to see has leaked.

Among the many issues with Weiss’s memo on the CECOT story, most of the additional info she’s demanding, about the administration’s legal rationales and the prisoners’ criminal histories, was actually covered in this piece that ran earlier this year on—wait for it—“60 Minutes”.

Bari Weiss, really? Really.
On left:

Bari Weiss: 60 Minutes segment failed to show Government view that CECOT detainees are due judicial review

On right:

Judge Boasberg Dec 22: "The Government itself has not even contested that the detainees who now make up the CECOT class received inadequate process prior to their removal"

Do. Not. Look. Away.

How many of the 60+ people abducted from this workplace found themselves outside the USA? Or landed in countries that they were not born in? Or remain in custody today?
ICE agents illegally break into a woman's bathroom in a NY nutrition bar manufacturing plant. "Pull up your pants," says a male agent. The agents only had a warrant to review employer documents. They didn't have a warrant to search for, detain, or arrest anyone there.

Damn, Bill Clinton just called Trump & Pam Bondi's bluff. Clinton released a statement calling on Bondi to release all of the Epstein files that mention him - including photos.

This is what a president with a spine looks like.

Meanwhile, Trump is having the FBI scrub his name from the files.

Detaining people with no criminal charges.
Then offering cash to make them disappear.

That’s coercion.

There are plenty of obvious reasons to do this: Nobody under the age of 30 actually uses the site! You're rewarding Elon Musk!

But the most important thing is that some politicians and consultants are stewing in bot-driven, expensive Nazi propaganda, and it's giving them really bad, cruel ideas.
This has always been a Bluesky-first campaign. But as of today, we will no longer be using Twitter. At all.

And I'm calling on other candidates to follow suit.
