Trump just confused Greenland with Iceland and blamed Iceland for the U.S. stock market dip.
This isn’t a policy mistake—it’s cognitive collapse on display.
The 25th Amendment exists for moments like this.

Possibly the most intelligent and lucid national leader around right now - the polar opposite of Trump.
Two excellent lines here :
1 . ..if you're not at the table, you're on the menu"
and
2. .." This is not sovereignty. It is the performance of sovereignty whilst accepting subordination..."

Am I the only one who's beginning to suspect that the never -ending 'Threat/Remove Threat of Tariffs' cycle that the Trump
Cult call foreign policy, is nothing more than insider dealing for the benefit of friends , family and benefactors? Threaten tariffs, crash market, buy, withdraw threat, sell.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. knew that a better world was possible if we came together, standing for equality and against injustice.

Today and every day, we honor Dr. King's legacy as we move toward a more inclusive and just future for all, together.

Major steps forward are always called disruptive or untimely. Progress that serves the public disrupts systems built on silence.

Today - and every day - we’re fighting the good fight on behalf of the people: evidence over power, justice over silence.

Lotta people get mad at me when I criticize Democratic messaging but THIS IS HOW DEMOCRATS SHOULD BE TALKING. Like normal people using normal language to communicate normal human emotions about the fucked up situation.

THIS.
Q: After you told ICE to get the F out, Republicans are criticizing you for escalating tensions

FREY: I'm sorry if I offered their Disney princess ears, but if we're talking about what's inflammatory, on one hand you got someone who dropped an F bomb & on other you have someone who killed someone

Where I come from police shoot the tires out to stop someone from getting away, 🙄 it's easier to arrest them than fill out tons of paperwork when you shoot them 🙋‍♂️
The sheriff of the town I lived in told me this when I was dating his daughter 😊

Just a thought: what if we stopped measuring the economy by the state of the stock market and started measuring it based on how many people are housed and clothed and fed? https://youtu.be/tFjoDq0HfFw?si=vtbE2QNmXskvutjF
