Rep. Bacon on Trump's aggression toward Greenland: "I feel like it's incumbent on folks like me to step up and say these threats and bullying of an ally are wrong. And on the weird chance he's serious about invading Greenland, I want to let him know it will probably be the end of his presidency."

I’m taking a victory lap for my coverage of young voters over the last year. I’ve argued that Trump’s 2024 gains with voters <30 stemmed mostly from anti-incumbent sentiment from high inflation — and that “GOP gains” / a youth “realignment” was a mirage. Tuesday’s results suggest I was right.
Seven data-driven lessons from the 2025 elections

U.S. senators from both parties on Thursday decisively rejected virtually all the Trump administration’s proposals to slash K-12 education investments.
Additionally, they pushed back against its efforts to shrink the U.S. Department of Education and move its functions to other agencies.

It’s a shame that so many Republicans vote for something they know will hurt their constituents & the country simply because they are afraid that Trump will threaten them if they don’t go along with it, & they are more concerned about his vindictiveness than they are about them.

Russ Vought is already illegally withholding hundreds of billions in federal funding from our communities.
Now, he's refusing to rule out cutting off even more funding with a new, illegal end run around Congress.
He's ignoring common sense & the plain text of the law.

The Trump Administration is breaking the law and has no inherent authority to unilaterally freeze appropriations – never has – and every day of Trump’s funding freeze is an unlawful attack on the resources Americans were promised and rely on.

My question is whether Wall Street understands that an important segment of the EV market customer base will not buy a Tesla at any price. It could teleport me places and I would not buy it. I would not drive one if you gave it to me for free.
