Why does Trump want Greenland? “National security.”

Why should Trump’s ballroom vanity project proceed? “National security.”

Why is Trump killing the wind energy industry? “National security.”

Why does Trump hate the New York Times? “National security.”

The pattern is ... not subtle.
For the White House, ‘national security’ is becoming the answer to every question
Donald Trump and his team have a go-to tactic intended to shut down debate over their goals. It's not working.

#BestOf2025: “The improvements made so far by the state are inadequate for what’s coming. [The crypto industry isn’t] interested in investing in alternative energy. They want a lot of energy, a lot of electricity, right now, which means fossil fuels. The industry creates an enormous footprint.”

WOW. They're not going to air their special on CECOT. I'd like to know who made this decision, and whether the federal government had a hand in it.

You know why.
Why did CBS delete this promo and cancel this from airing in full?

Reclassifying marijuana is a welcome step toward aligning federal policy with science, evidence, and the reality of its legalization in many states.

We still need to fully legalize marijuana nationwide and to get justice for the communities harmed by the disastrous war on drugs.
Trump signs executive order fast-tracking reclassification of marijuana
The order does not legalize marijuana, but reclassification would allow the FDA to study it for medical purposes.

“He is not unstoppable and you are not without power”

Remind yourself of this every day.

Especially on the bad days.
Buttigieg on Indiana: "The big part of how Trumpism works is to make you feel totally disempowered. To make him feel inevitable. And yet the clear takeaway from this is he is not unstoppable and you are not without power."

I am so sick of hearing Trump be disrespectful to primarily female reporters. It’s repulsive to watch. Funny thing is when SNL & 60 minutes talk or joke about him he has a complete breakdown on his platform. He’s a pathetic bully to women & I am ready for someone to give it back to him.

The monopolies of the Gilded Age led Congress to establish the FTC as an independent agency.

Its independence is meant to insulate it from political pressure so it can check corporate power and protect the American people.

Trump wanting to upend this is very telling.
