I quibble with the use of word “strength” and prefer nouns like “barbarism” and “brutality”

There is nothing “strong” or “muscular” about the mighty picking on the weak

The fuck is “strong” about attacking Greenland???

House Democrats forced a vote to extend ACA tax credits and reverse the crushing health care costs millions of families are facing.

Republicans had the opportunity to prevent these credits from expiring before the holidays, but they refused. (1/2)

Thank you to President Emmanuel Macron for bringing together the Coalition of the Willing in Paris today. Canada and France are strong Allies and partners — and we’re working relentlessly to secure a just and lasting peace for Ukraine.

Five years ago today, Donald Trump urged his supporters to attack Congress and the Capitol over a proven lie. More than 140 police officers were injured.

Trump then pardoned the attackers.

He betrayed his oath and his country, and we won't ever forget it.

This is a must-watch video by @npr.org's @tomdreisbach.bsky.social who sat with @semperwry.bsky.social & @michaelfanone.bsky.social as they narrated their body-cam footage from 1/6

A necessary reminder of the disgusting stain on American history perpetrated by Trump & MAGA

Trump calls Jan 6 a “day of love.” This bodycam footage shows otherwise.

As Administration officials seem to be struggling with this, let us say it again: it is illegal to use the U.S. military to invade a foreign country without the authorization of Congress and is a violation of international law.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Former Special Counsel, Jack Smith, explicitly states:

"President Trump was by a large measure the most culpable and most responsible person in this conspiracy. These crimes were committed for his benefit. The attack that happened at the Capitol, part of this case, does not happen without him."

He may lie, he may pardon the violent attackers, but we will never forget what we saw.

This reckless move by the Trump Administration has nothing to do with science or informed choice – it’s about appeasing a debunked anti-vaccine agenda being pushed by RFK Jr. and his allies.

I strongly condemn this decision that puts infants and children at real risk.

TAPPER: Can you rule out the US is going to take Greenland by force?

MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO

T: So force is on the table?
