Europe looks lost.
“Instead of taking the lead in defending freedom worldwide, especially when America’s focus shifts elsewhere, Europe looks lost, trying to convince the U.S. president to change. But he will not change.”

Norwegian PM Støre says Trump repeatedly raises—complains about, pleads for, and demands—the Nobel Peace Prize every time they meet. Støre gives same answer each time: decision is made independently by Norwegian Nobel Committee, with no role for Norwegian gov—a concept Trump appears unable to grasp.

MAGA’s Jewish intellectuals “lent their prestige” to the movement, “certain the hateful rhetoric was meant for someone else”—but “now that it has landed on them, they want credit for noticing the stench,” Franklin Foer argues:
Pity the Jewish Intellectuals of MAGA

This YouGov poll on invading Venezuela shows how little polls reflect real beliefs. In October, <30% of Republicans backed it. Once Trump signaled he wanted it and then did it, support jumped to 74%.
Independents supporting the invasion went from 9% to 22% after it happened.

In Minneapolis this afternoon—
Hundreds are streaming across the snow and ice into Powderhorn Park for a rally and march demanding ICE leave Minnesota.
It is bitterly cold. There are hardcore Midwesterners out here making their way in with trekking poles.

The woman killed by ICE today was a poet. She won the 2020 Academy of American Poets, University & College Poetry Prize at Old Dominion University.
