By what right? Well, Norwegians led by Erik the Red settled Greenland in 986. Then, later, Norway and Denmark combined to become a union that lasted for a few centuries. When they separated in 1814, Norway ceded Greenland to Denmark. There's more, but that basically catches us up.
TAPPER: Can you rule out the US is going to take Greenland by force?
MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO
T: So force is on the table?
M: Nobody is gonna fight the US militarily over future of Greenland

This small petty man wants us to not only write off his first term as a bankruptcy, not only take a mulligan on the first year of his second term, but squander all of our forward momentum in wealth, innovation, and goodwill for generations to come.
The Trump administration said it would pause leases for five wind farms under construction off the East Coast, citing unspecified security risks.

The Interior Department said the projects posed national security risks, without providing details. The decision imperils billions of dollars of investments.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

WOLFERS: “When a politician says: we’ll deregulate health insurance and send you a “freedom account” check, ask: freedom to buy what? If insurers don’t offer real policies or can cherry-pick only healthy people, that money is a coupon for a store that’s not open.” #MedicareForAllNOW

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.
