Norwegian PM Støre says Trump repeatedly raises—complains about, pleads for, and demands—the Nobel Peace Prize every time they meet. Støre gives same answer each time: decision is made independently by Norwegian Nobel Committee, with no role for Norwegian gov—a concept Trump appears unable to grasp.

Trump for now using his Swiss army knife rather than sending invasion force — and doing so selectively to split Europe.
He‘s taxing American consumers to pursue Greenland takeover that 75% of Americans oppose.

There are going to be limits to what you can make other countries do by threatening to tax your own citizen's purchases of their products.
I believe handing over entire territories falls well beyond those limits.

Earlier today, Border Patrol arrested a man in the parking lot of a gas station in St. Paul. They busted out his drivers side window, ultimately dragging him out of the car, pulled him to the ground, and dragged him into one of BP's SUVs.

There were people in 1970 who thought the student protesters at Kent State deserved it when they were shot to death.
I’m reminding myself of that so I don’t fall into denial and imagine the sadistic glee I’m seeing on X about the ICE shooting is new. It’s not.
It’s a strand in our cultural fabric.

And characterising non-violent dissent as “domestic terrorism” is an unambiguous statement of readiness to silence political opposition with lethal force.
Like those before it, that insane, vile DHS statement about the Minneapolis shooting isn't about covering anything up. It's performative lying.
They aren't trying to persuade anyone that their agents did nothing wrong. They're trying to project that their agents can get away with anything.

We should put a name to all of these terrible WaPo editorials. James Hohmann is probably writing the majority of these and he is the king of banality. He really does seem happy to take the worst positions possible.
No.
Social safety nets crumble when we wrap them in neoliberal rhetoric aimed at dividing people and deluding them into thinking that everyone--except some tiny group of perfect poor--should be able to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps, even if their boots have been nailed to the floor.
