People keep asking me who I want in 2028, and I find the question exasperating.
Let's get through 2026 first. Let's take back control of Congress. Let's get a majority that blocks Trump.
Any 2028 aspirant who is focused on that, too, will get my attention.

Reading between the lines, it sounds like someone told him he can't invade.
Trump: "Starting Feb 1, all above mentioned Countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, UK, Netherlands, & Finland), will be charged a 10% Tariff. On June 1, it will be increased to 25%. It will be due until such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland."

People who were actually enslaved believed that chattel slavery would end one day.
I'm sorry but to me that suggests that you [who are not enslaved in 2026] can also imagine an end to the current horrors.

We need to get it lodged more firmly in the discourse that Trump and Stephen Miller are prioritizing removing nonviolent immigrants over public safety. They are sinking so many resources into their ethnic purification project that they're putting us in more danger.
