In a nod to Trump’s efforts on Ukraine, Starmer says he recognises the US president’s role in pushing for ceasefire there – as he says “we will work closely with the United States, Ukraine and our other allies to apply pressure where it belongs: on Putin.”

In 1917, Denmark ceded the Virgin Islands to the USA, and in consideration, the USA agreed Denmark had dominion over Greenland. Of course the Nazis now want to undo that, after 109 years.

ICE is now taking hostages and demanding ransom.
The Department of Homeland Security is refusing to release information on 3 detained Oglala Lakota tribal members who are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp for Native people, unless the tribe enters into an immigration agreement with ICE.
