It's so sad that we have so many of these shootings that I have *zero* recollection of this happening.
Today marks three years since the tragic mass shooting at the Star Dance Studio in my hometown of Monterey Park - the deadliest mass shooting in L.A. County's history.

His opposition didn't even TRY. They didn't even SUGGEST HE SHOULD BE REMOVED
Even after Trump is gone, the world will remember that he threatened to forcibly seize the territory of a peaceful democratic ally, and our institutions failed to immediately remove him. That makes US dangerously unreliable, not just one senile gangster.
His not being impeached by the end of the business day as a result of this threat is as much a problem as the threat itself. It’s not just Trump that the world has to worry about, it’s a GOP that supports him and Democrats who suck their thumbs and refuse to even discuss pushing to remove him

Kav: What you're asking us to do is give the President insane amounts of uncontrollable power. What are we doing?
Sauer: You've already given the President that power. Just keep doing it

The President is on the verge of torching the European alliance. The GOP is silently going along. The opposition party is mia.
We have to get rid of Jeffries and Schumer. We have to. It’s unendurable that these men are the most prominent Democrats of the moment. They are two of the most broadly undistinguished men I could imagine in politics, zero fire, zero fight, zero zeal, machine politicians with sinecures.

European leaders have to know this, right? For Congress to turn on Trump, their constituents likely need to feel the economic pain of a prospective Greenland takeover. Do European leaders have the stomach for that? We may have to find out.

🇨🇦PM Carney just schooled our cowardly European leaders at #Davos. This speech was clearly aimed at them:
"We must actively take on the world as it is, not wait around for a world we wish to be."
"What does it mean for middle powers to live the truth? First it means naming reality..." (🧵1/6)

Sure seems like the Canadian PM is going after the US dollar...
CARNEY: “.. You cannot live within the lie of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination.” 🔥
Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

OpenAI has absolutely zero ideas. They have no business. This is not a real business line and it’s so utterly vague and specious, I’m shocked at the credulousness to just print it without saying “there is no logical way this works of course” or talking about how the CFO of OpenAI is saying nonsense

Insurgent politicians all across Europe may start taking this stance...
When we said NATO wasn't working we were derided.
When we said a nuclear weapons system relying on the US is dangerous we were called stupid.
The truth is the establishment are more interested in kissing US feet than keeping the UK safe.
It's time for a rethink.

Greg is correct. Democrats can't pretend to go back to 2016, like they tried when Biden took over in 2021. If they take over in 2029, it will be a radically different world and they'd better be prepared to deal with it.
