Trump's Thugs Are Not Law Enforcement
In a democracy, law enforcement derives its authority not from weapons or uniforms, but from adherence to the law, internal discipline, and the confidence of the public it serves.

Time to stop writing articles about the "security" or "economic" reasons to capture Greenland, they are irrelevant
Not everyone believed me when I wrote that Trump wants Greenland becuase it would make him feel important, but that's what he told the NYT:
When asked why he needed to possess the territory, he said: “Because that’s what I feel is psychologically needed for success"

Tatiana Schlossberg’s family held a very private funeral for her today.
The service was held in the same church as the one where her grandmother, Jackie Kennedy’s service was held.
Among the attendees was former President Joe Biden, who could be seen leaving the church with tears in his eyes.
