Trump’s press conference today was among his more haywire performances, and his slushy delivery and meandering answers will not halt speculation about his cognitive health.

The Russia-backed Trump regime in the United States appointed an "envoy" for Greenland.
In response to this unfriendly act (which portends aggression), Denmark summoned the U.S. ambassador.

A very interesting (and ominous) article. Bonus, it also explains how that nuclear scientist at MIT who the Brown University shooter also murdered is tied into all of this.
BREAKING: Russia Is Buying Trump for $6 Billion — And It’s Happening in Plain Sight
A failing social media company. A Russian-backed fusion deal. AI panic. Presidential conflicts. And now, a dead American nuclear scientist. Tell me again this is “just a tech story.”

MEMPHIS — “WE SAY NO! We didn’t wake up with this problem, it was systematically created (by Lee, Trump, etc.)”
Rep. @justinjpearson.bsky.social calls out “some in positions of power bending a knee and kissing the ring” as Trump & Lee send the military — after decades of underinvestment.

Trying to demonstrate the military’s “freedom of maneuver” INSIDE a US city is about as dystopian as you can get. “Freedom to maneuver” is the type of thing we practice in, say, disputed Chinese waters.
Military documents confirm that the LA operation today was a “show of presence” intended to send a message to LA residents about the power of the federal government.

The brave men and women of our Army are the real heroes we should be celebrating. Not a wannabe king who throws himself a $40 million birthday parade.
