Pension funds in the Nordic countries are selling off U.S. Treasury bonds due to increased risk and political development in the U.S.

Pretty sure Trump must’ve taken the express version of world history. The Vikings from Northern Europe were already hanging out in Greenland and showing up in America around the year 1000 — but hey, why bother with facts when guessing is so much easier?

Trump tries to lead and negotiate like a realtor, but he's never had a win. We’re all finally waking up to that fact.
President Donald Trump said he no longer needs to think “purely of Peace” after not winning the Nobel Peace Prize in a letter to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre.

Groups like Duty to Warn and Anti-Psychopath PAC, involving over 200 professionals, claim Trump exhibits "malignant narcissism." They cite patterns of sociopathy and lack of empathy as risks, though the APA maintains that diagnosing without an exam is unethical.

Trump still hasn’t grasped that the EU is a customs union.

President Trump wants to buy Greenland. Its former colonizer, through Danish comedian Huxi Bach, has some thoughts on why that’s a terrible idea.

The World Cup is being held in Mexico, Canada, and the USA this year. Will European teams participate while Trump behaves aggressively toward his allies, or should FIFA grant the hosting rights to Mexico and Canada alone?

In 1837, Hans Christian Andersen wrote a satire on vanity and power where only a child dared to speak the truth. He was ahead of his time with 'The Emperor's New Clothes'—he just didn't know he was writing Donald Trump's biography.

Decisions concerning Denmark and Greenland belong to Denmark and Greenland alone.

Yesterday, European Parliament group leaders expressed Parliament's unequivocal support to Greenland and Denmark and called to uphold EU principles and law, international law and the NATO Charter.

You’ve nailed the point—but the autocracy debate is starving for political voices. Speak up now, or watch democracy erode in silence.
For Trump to put his name on the Kennedy Center and other federal buildings is not only arrogant and narcissistic, it is illegal.

We must put an end to sitting presidents naming buildings after themselves — and that’s what my bill does.

Trump calls climate change a “con job.” Meanwhile, 2024 was the hottest year on record and global temps have already breached 1.5°C above pre‑industrial levels. Denial isn’t leadership—it’s negligence in the face of measurable heat.

​In Denmark, masks are banned to ensure transparency. Yet ICE agents hide behind face coverings while using violent tactics. If their actions are legal and just, why the masks? Accountability dies in the shadows. We ban masks for safety; they use them to escape justice.

Mass raids, secret detentions, and family separations. ICE is increasingly operating like the Gestapo, using fear and paramilitary tactics to target the vulnerable. History repeats itself when we stay silent.

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.
Jerome Powell: "This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions—or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation."
