I think Europe needs to make it clear that any attempts by the US to seize Greenland (by force or other means) would result in immediate sanctions against Trump and US officials (barring them from entering or doing business in Europe) and suspension of all visa-free travel agreements for Americans.
I am very much not an expert, but this seems good?

Also it seems like the best message NATO leaders could send to deter Trump is “If you do this, we will kill you, specifically.” He doesn’t care about anything else. (Although I’m also not sure he fully believes he can die.)

We need a better way to get the 3800+ kids out of ICE detention than this. We know Liam’s name and we can advocate on his behalf, but that isn’t true of almost any of the other people stuck in detention centers.

We have to stop ICE on a systemic level.

U.S. ultimatum to vaccine group: No more funds unless you stop using thimerosal

Not to Chuck: that the GOP will *always* give you another reason to shut down the government DOES NOT mean you should wait for the Platonic ideal of justification before doing so.
there is a 100% chance this results in a protracted shutdown if successful
guess we're gonna see if Anna Paulina Luna can count better than leadership lol

A new statement from Epstein survivors:

"Once again, survivors are having their names and identifying information exposed, while the men who abused us remain hidden and protected. That is outrageous."

👀 Every Senate Democrat + Collins and Murkowski just voted for the Bernie Sanders amendment to repeal the $75 billion in additional ICE funding under Trump’s “big beautiful bill.” The measure failed 49-51.

They know they could have called her lawyer and she would have shown up at their office.

But they ambushed her at home in the early AM. Like she's a terrorist, a mobster, a murderer or an Illinois governor who pawned off a Senate seat.

This is part of what frustrates me most about Dems backing down on government shutdowns.

The tool the Constitution explicitly gives the Legislative to check the Executive is the purse strings.

Congress' job isn't to keep the lights on. It's to turn them off when the Executive behaves lawlessly.
Not new, but the Constitutional response from Congress to this open defiance of their lawmaking is to withhold funding from the DOJ until they come back into compliance with the law.
Blanche on Epstein files: "The number of responsive pages is significantly smaller than the total number of pages initially collected. That's what we're releasing more than 3 million pages today and not the 6 million pages that we collected."

What is this shit! "plz follow the law, as you are already obligated to do, and we will give you more money"

If you could enforce these deals for ICE not to do shit it's already not supposed to do, you could enforce the law right now.

If you can't, you should not support giving them more money!

Okay I had to double-check this before posting, but the GVII (G500 and G600) variants use engines manufactured by... wait for it... Pratt & Whitney Canada.
So we're going to ground two-thirds of the domestic regional jet fleet--and a significant portion of the turboprop fleet--because Transport Canada hasn't yet certified a handful of business jets?

Just gonna add here that this money is useless to Trump. There's a high probability he dies while still in office and, if he doesn't, he already has more than enough money to live wealthy beyond avarice for the remainder of his natural life.

This is purely pique.
President Trump has filed a lawsuit against the IRS, in which he demands that the IRS, which he as president controls, pay him $10 billion.

They'll keep doing this until it goes very, very wrong.

Which it eventually will, if they keep doing it.
The movement of these particular military resources plus Rubio’s scheduled meetings at the White House tomorrow are strong signals of a *possible* US attack on Iran this weekend.

Supportive naval assets are already in place, so it could be a protracted operation IF it goes forward.
This is kind of a big one. Those crews with the highest amount of ops training and focus as well as recent combat experience are headed across the pond.
