So, hear me out on this, I want my taxpayer dollars going to feeding, hungry people, educating kids, and building better roads. I have no desire to buy Donald Trump an island, & last time I checked, the power of the purse, still belonged to Congress.
"Secretary of State Marco Rubio told lawmakers that recent administration threats against Greenland didn’t signal an imminent invasion and that the goal is to buy the island from Denmark, according to people familiar with the discussions."

NEW: Trump has no settled view of foreign policy, but there is one thing he is consistent on: his own political ambitions. And his rhetoric surrounding Venezuela has revealed that election denialism is the principle behind most of his actions, Marc Elias writes.

On the 5th Anniversary of the failed January 6th insurrection attempt, we’re reminded how fragile democracy can be. We must remember the darkness of that day so it’s never repeated. As history is rewritten by some, we choose to speak the truth of what happened.

I don't often agree with Donald Trump.

But this time he is absolutely, positively 💯 percent correct.

Epiphany.

In Ukrainian tradition, water blessed on this day was believed to hold special power. It was used to bless the home, the yard, animals, and family members.
The first sip of this water was considered especially meaningful.
