BREAKING: Danish fund AkademikerPension to exit U.S. Treasuries by end of the month, due to "rising credit risk under Trump."

Trump is now blaming his bullying and demands to be given Greenland on not being awarded the Nobel Prize. Why should he be nice when they're being so mean to him and not giving him the prize he insists he deserves.

to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials:
Dear Ambassador:
President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state]
“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ji7lroxun3yvv2pxhcf7jqsn/bafkreiacnq65zyhibvgcurronexc6jujh3m4ujldgb3ygdolthoeeqbqw4@jpeg)

Best Twitter riposte of the day. I started the morning looking at mass protest videos uncertain whether I was watching Minneapolis or Tehran. Turns out it was both.

📌NOTE: In the final year of Joe Biden's presidency 2 million jobs were created.
In the first year of Trump's presidency 584,000 jobs were created.
This is the weakest annual growth since 2003.
In other words, generationally horrible.
Trump is a terrible president, and an even worse human being.

During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.

Is this called looting or pillaging?

The Republicans tried to stir up pogroms against Haitian communities during the 2024 campaign, and they’re setting the stage to do the same thing to Somalis as we head into 2026. It’s the new migrant caravans, but potentially far more deadly.

The USPS faces a tight squeeze. With fewer people using the mail, it’s lost more and more money: $9 billion in the 12 months ending in September alone.

Rick Steves is an exceptionally good human.
It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.
