They'll stick to an official line of not explicitly saying it, keep all the face-saving off ramps open, it can be spun as doing what he asked for. But this is an actual for-real military deployment in response to a fear of an American invasion. Soldiers to defend themselves from us, the rogue state.
Denmark is underway to move more troops to Greenland in cooperation with undisclosed allies.
Preparatory staff are in place to solve logistics for potential larger Danish forces.
Details are sparse but dr.dk reports that first plane landed 2 days ago.

Of course you cannot criticise @stellacreasy.bsky.social . That would be misogyny. I for one look forward to a roaring rendition of the Labour party leadership singing, as an expression of solidarity with the Jewish community, Maccabi Tel Aviv Ultra's Rape Song.
Dear @stellacreasy.bsky.social, please can you invite Maccabi Tel Aviv Ultras and Tommy Robinson to Walthamstow and let them beat me to death as a genuine and sincere show of Jewish identity defeating the innate genetic antisemitism that exists in my subhuman blood. Muslims will not replace you.
Bear in mind: the accusation here was never “inappropriate AI use”. It was “The police are secretly in cahoots with radical Islamists to racistly persecute fascist football hooligans”. Congratulations to the Sensible Moderates for rubber stamping the latter - watch what happens now, as a result.

Yeah we’re absolutely invading Greenland before the spring. I can’t believe that’s a real sentence.

NEW: Florida and Utah have banned fluoridation, with multiple other states looking to do the same.
Critics of fluoride in drinking water point to other fluoride sources as an alternative, but many are creating barriers to these very products.

These people are crank wingnuts with horrific politics and if they plough a lot of energy into a particular demand, then by fuck *they will get* what they want and anyone who defies them will get beaten with bats for however long it takes to hammer them down. And that now includes the police.
The Maccabi Tel Aviv bullshit has been fundamentally down to how the political class cannot accept being wrong about anything. If they hadn't immediately jumped up and down about it, despite knowing nothing whatsoever about the club and its record, none of this would be happening.

Occasional reminder we had to force the police to not lie in their own interest
Caroline and Lisa, who both lost children in the Manchester Arena bombing, are meeting the PM today to tell him not the water the Hillsborough Law down by excluding MI5 and MI6 from duty of candour (in other words still allowing them to lie)

I see we're using "expert" to mean "old white guy with no qualifications or evidence but buckets of confidence" again. That certainly hasn't gone horribly wrong every single previous time.

Hegseth furious he never got this
New: CBS News seems to be preparing a new segment called "Whiskey Fridays with Tony Dokoupil," per sources.
Some staff were only first made aware of it as they encountered CBS testing out set designs of a faux-stocked bar in the newsroom, featuring a large sponsor banner for Jack Daniels.
