No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

Eight minutes matters.
A pulse matters.
Denied medical care matters.

Doctors don’t speak out like this for politics or optics. They speak out when a line is crossed, when an oath is violated, when someone who could have been helped is instead left to die.

It’s utterly vile they have to do this.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

Thousands rally in Greenland’s capital, chanting “Greenland is not for sale,” after Trump doubled down on the US initiative to takeover the country. The protests are the largest in the nation’s history.

Greenland belongs to its people.
No threat or tariffs will change that.

Our response must be to remain calm, hold our ground and act in unity.

This is 100% correct and the EU should do it immediately.

I will admit the high price of groceries is really hitting me right now because I’M BUYING GROCERIES TO DELIVER TO MY NEIGHBORS WHO CAN’T LEAVE THE HOUSE BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT HAS SENT AN OCCUPYING FORCE OF FUCKSTICKS TO MY CITY.
NEW: In this interview, Chuck Schumer describes the "five buckets" Dems think are key to their possibly winning a Senate majority in 2026: housing, "the high price of food [and] food monopolies playing a major role there," electricity, "the high cost of childcare," and health care.
Zero Chucks Left to Give
Chuck Schumer now sees a path back to the majority. Can he manage his way through it?

Indeed, and it's tough to find any analogy to stress how absurd Trump's whole idea is. We can already use Greenland for any military purpose we want! Greenland is already defended by NATO, which includes us!

The only possible threat to any of that is... an inexplicably belligerent U.S. President.

Everything Trump says here is verifiably untrue. During this period of time the number of US installations on Greenland went from 17 to 1 as a result of US determinations that they were not needed.
Trump: "NATO has been telling Denmark, for 20 years, that “you have to get the Russian threat away from Greenland.” Unfortunately, Denmark has been unable to do anything about it. Now it is time, and it will be done!!! President Donald J. Trump"

Pew Research Institute (2023):

• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants

• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants

• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.

And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."

It's *not* about immigration.
