I think the Greenland threat is a troll. I think.
But it would sure be nice for some senators and GOP house members to speak up now and make it clear that an attack on a nato ally would lead to removal from office

Stop calling it deporting, so MAYBE more Americans will get it. "Deporting" is sending someone back, after due process, to the country they came from, where they arrive a free person. This is human trafficking to a foreign torture prison for the rest of their lives. GET THE LANGUAGE RIGHT.

Listening to @fetterman.senate.gov on the New Yorker Radio Hour is enough for a lifetime. Centrism is not a position, it’s just an incoherent jumble of slogans and hopeless, illiterate misreads of history.

We got a Costco membership for the first time in our lives today. They asked why & I said because treat your workers well, you value diversity, & you didn’t cave in to authoritarian demands. He said: “We’ve been getting lots of folks saying that, thanks for joining.”

Fact check: nearly 70 percent of US money for Ukraine actually went to US defense industry to replenish the stocks of OLD stuff that went to Ukraine to use.
Much of which we would have paid to destroy as their lifespan expired.

This negotiation between the US and Russia, and cutting out Ukraine, is just like when Trump cut out Afghanistan and negotiated with Taliban.
We see how that “good deal” turned out. Afghanistan was on Trump

Would you consider giving just $5 to the Community Center in Idaho? They provide fellowship, a lending library, a food shelf, community support groups and more:

I would say 911 dispatchers provide a valuable service but it would be ok to criticize them if you called them and instead of sending an ambulance they said "Someone should do something about this!" and hung up

Canada is our friend and ally and they don’t deserve this. We don’t deserve this either. It’s an act of national self-sabotage.

Child care gets little help in Idaho. A family-run center is buckling.
As TLC For Tots and the parents depending on it worry about the future, lawmakers in this deeply conservative state say government shouldn’t play a role.

The move is alarming some linear TV employees who don’t want to be in the “ShitCo” wing. And the timing is raising eyebrows.
