Now we begin the familiar ritual where 95% of the Republicans in Congress claim they are completely unaware of Trump’s deranged letter to the PM of Norway so they are unable to comment on it.

2026 is going to be a very dark year for US foreign policy, where everything that was built over many decades by leaders for collective security is torn apart by one madman, but only because people in his own party remain silent.

It's not just the St. Paul Doubletree.
The Intercontinental in downtown St Paul is also shutting for now.
According to the Pioneer Press, they're both operated by an indigenous tribe, the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe.
FYI, ICE has been arresting Native Americans.

Desantis’s pet troll Christina Pushaw is going through some things. It is only a matter of time before these people get exposed. Seems like all of these shady people have things to hide and it’s only a matter of time before it all comes out. Usually they rat out each other.

Europe will either stand up to Trump or he will keep using them as his plaything. As long as Macron, Merz et al continue to kiss his ass and appease him, he will continue to treat them like shit. He may treat them like shit either way, but at least they can retain some dignity.
