More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland.
They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

Chuck is a 70's politician stuck in bipartisanship delusionland and no match for an authoritarian takeover of our country. @schumer.senate.gov has to go.
Good to know Chuck Schumer's meeting with Trump yesterday really worked in curbing the Republicans and their brutal crackdown on Democrats and innocent Americans in Minnesota.
Must have been a helluva convincing meeting.
Well done, Chuck!
Oh, look, the DOJ is now investigating Walz and Frey.

It is shameful that we have to talk about the President of the United States this way. But it is who he is. He is behaving exactly the way you would expect a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist who was granted immunity by John Roberts to behave. Know your enemy.

Democrats need to understand that they can just say “It’s insane to threaten Greenland” and “I don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis.

There’s something unspeakably shameful The United States letting people go hungry.
Not because its government doesn’t fix it —
but because tomorrow a few private Americans could, and never notice the cost.
That’s the part that sits wrong.

Meanwhile, millions lack health care & we have the highest childhood and senior poverty rate of almost any major country.

There aren’t many things worse one can imagine than the loss of a child.
But the loss of a child to a vaccine preventable disease is a pain no parent or family should ever have to bear.
Sowing distrust about vaccines, arguably the greatest public health success of all time, is pure evil.
