Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland.
And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.

An order to our military members to invade our ally Greenland, without congressional authorization, and with no self-defense basis, would be “manifestly unlawful” under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. They must disobey it.

I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers.
I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

The struggle is real! The grind is long!
I just launched my USS Newton. The MAGA trolls on Server 26 are about to enter the FO phase of FAFO!
This isn’t a PvP ship. But it will allow me to acquire powerful artifacts that will strengthen my PvP game significantly.

I am not exaggerating when I say ICE functions as a terrorist organization in the Twin Cities. The goal seems to be to harass and frighten people (the ones who are lucky enough to not be abducted, at least) and it's deeply unsettling when you learn they're in your neighborhood.

I keep seeing posts stating that ICE cannot enter your home or a private business without a judicial warrant. While that is legally correct, in reality ICE routinely violates the law by forcing their way in, often by smashing down doors, before violently assaulting people.

It’s strange. If Capitol Police had simply treated the J6 Terrorists the same way that I.C.E. treats peaceful protesters… The entire Trump movement would have died on J6. Literally.
We should have used the Insurrection Act against Republicans the SECOND Biden took office.
DEMS PLAY TOO NICE!

The first thing Virginia Spanberger did after being sworn in as Governor of Virginia was repeal Youngkin’s executive order requiring state and local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE.
This is the kind of leadership Democratic governors nationwide should be emulating.

Honestly, forgetting the name of the woman from whom you stole a Nobel Peace Prize is a good bit.
Trump, 79, Appears to Forget Name of Woman Who Just Gave Him Her Nobel Peace Prize
The president seemed to have difficulty recalling exactly who handed him the award he’s been hankering after.
