This breaks my heart to see.

Good ole "TACO" Trump is back after he reversed himself on his most deranged Greenland demands. Tomorrow, Todd Beeton looks at Trump's latest TACO moment and explores whether the threat is really gone. And yesterday, Jay Kuo broke down how Trump is already messing with November's midterms.
This Week In The Big Picture
After his “Liberation Day” tariffs caused the markets to tank last year, Donald Trump backed away from his most damaging trade threats and was swiftly dubbed “TACO”: Trump Always Chickens Out.

I'm old enough to remember when Carter had to sell his peanut farm to avoid the appearance of conflict of interest.
Screenshot of an X.com post by Ron Filipkowski (@RonFilipkowski) saying Trump’s threatened new tariffs on wine imports could personally benefit him because he’s also in the wine business. Below the text is a photo of four bottles of wine with large “TRUMP” labels.

This is what a true leader in North America sounds like.

25th Amendment called. It wants us to come collect the lunatic in the Oval Office.

With tensions rising over Greenland, we need to game out some scenarios, from more saber rattling and a possible trade war to some kind of military action to take it. These are insane times that still require cool, sane analysis. My write-up in the replies.

2026 will go down as the year the U.S. broke all the rules it took decades to build among nations and set the world on a dangerous new path of instability.
Screenshot of a Sky News post on X.com quoting President Macron: “We’re shifting to a world without rules. Imperial ambitions are resurfacing,” noting he called certain tariffs “fundamentally unacceptable” as leverage against sovereignty during a speech in Davos, after Trump shared a text between them. Below the text is a video still of Macron at a podium at the World Economic Forum, labeled “Annual Meeting Davos 2026.”

NATO didn’t need a savior. It needed a president who understood alliances instead of threatening them.
Social post by President Donald J. Trump that says: 'No single person, or President, has done more for NATO than President Donald J. Trump. If I didn’t come along, there would be no NATO right now!!! It would have been in the ash heap of History. Sad, but TRUE!!! President DJT'

Leonard Nimoy was more than a colleague—he was a friend, an ally, and my political soulmate. Leonard played a half-human, half-Vulcan officer—a being caught between two worlds. Yet in his own life, he was perhaps the most profoundly human person I have ever known.

Well said. And if the federal laws won't do this, the states, which grant corporate status, can and should.
Screenshot of an X post by Acyn quoting Pete Buttigieg. The text says that in a country that amended its Constitution to ban alcohol and later reversed it, the U.S. could also pass an amendment clarifying that corporations are not people and money is not speech. Below the text is a photo of Buttigieg standing on a stage holding a microphone, speaking to an audience seated behind him.

He played Risk as a child and thinks the world works like that.

The post quotes Acyn, who paraphrases Stephen Miller saying Denmark is a tiny country with a tiny economy and military, cannot defend Greenland, and that to control a territory you must be able to defend it. Below is a TV still of Stephen Miller speaking on Fox News, with a chyron about Trump and Greenland and a “BREAKING NEWS” banner.

That’s where we are now.” Below it is another post from the same account that says, “Here’s video,” with a video preview image showing a bald man standing on a covered porch, seen from a low angle, with white ceiling panels and a porch column behind him.
