one of the things i hate most about this persistent line of argument is the implication that any of these actions would be fine if groceries were cheaper
The White House is laser focused on threatening a military takeover of Greenland.
Where’s the same focus on lowering costs?

It used to be that you had to wait for National Signing day to be excited about a college football player.
Then things changed and you had to wait until they signed an NIL deal.
Now you have to wait until they run out onto the field on Saturday in your team's colors.

@kenmartin.bsky.social here’s a layup for your first midterm big dawg
If the DNC had a sophisticated and strategic digital comms/advo operation they’d be launching multi channel online and offline blitz targeting every Republican (the party of Epstein) electeds and candidates to give back their money from Musk.
This shouldn’t be difficult Dems.

Exactly one Allied combat fatality happened in Greenland during World War II, and he was a Danish soldier on patrol killed in a firefight with a German weather station crew.
Ogles: "It's important that we have a stake in Greenland, that they are quite frankly a protectorate of the US. They've been in relationship with Denmark - that needs to end. We've spilled more blood protecting Greenland than the Danes... we are the dominant predator force in the Western Hemisphere"

Imperative we help Washington Dems get a supermajority then if they are willing to redistrict
The bill is not expected to pass in this session, but Democrats tell me they've introduced it to show what they'll do if they get a 2/3 majority in the state leg this November.
They're a few seats short of a supermajority in both chambers.

Good to see Trump chain Makary, Oz, and Bhattacharya to this policy.
Leaves no doubt moving forward that every sick child moving forward is on their hands too.

To be clear, this vaccine policy is Trump's policy. He wants to own it and he should — and whatever comes of it.

This is something Dems should legit shut down the government over. If he wants to destroy NATO, he can do it with zero dollars and zero cents in government funding.
This is a direct response to the European statements. It’s an attempt at a palliative.
It’s still the worst act the United States has pondered since the Mexican War and it think there’s an least a 50% chance it happens.
NATO is basically over unless Senate Rs like Senator Kennedy build a barrier.
