The World Speaks Up:

This is where we are. Read this joint statement by France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the Kingdom of Denmark on Greenland:"Greenland belongs to its people. It is for Denmark and Greenland, and them only, to decide on matters concerning Denmark and Greenland."

Congress:

Trump sycophant, Republican Rep. Doug LaMalfa, dies suddenly 🤷🏼‍♀️

With the retirement of Marjorie Taylor Greene, and the passing of LaMalfa, it looks like the GOP no longer holds a working majority until his seat is filled. It’s at 217. They need 218 for a majority.

So Texas started this shit with TX 18. Their governor held that seat open for many months. Newsom needs to do the same.Fight fire with fire.

Dems don’t have the majority either. Not yet.

Back to Court!:

This will devastate millions of families who rely on these services to survive.Make no mistake: this has nothing to do with supposed "fraud" or any other excuse Trump whips up. This is about enacting revenge on states that stand up to him and his cruel agenda.

The Law and Order President-Pardons 4Sale:

Oil, Oil, Oil!:

Trump's illegal military strike WAS NEVER about stopping drugs or democracy for Venezuela. It's about OIL and how Trump can use Venezuela's oil to get himself and his donors rich. He is quite literally telling us that. And that's not worth risking American lives for.

Jews for Hitler:

If you feel like you're losing your mind as this administration plays footsy with the idea of INVADING GREENLAND, then you're not alone. Let me be clear: America will NOT invade a NATO ally. My Republican colleagues need to join me in making that crystal clear.

Blondi Preaches to the Foxbots:

At some point, I would love to see an interviewer ask someone from the Trump administration which specific portion of Article II they are relying on.

State News:

From the MarKODA Files-It’s all about the Black & Brown People Edition:

"Their idea of improving this state is being a parrot for Trump. I'm not going anywhere. You can make your requests for me to resign. Over my dead body. I will fight this thing to the very end to make this state better. And the Q I think they need to decide is when will the guy in the WH resign?"
