Is this the last straw?

Threatening Norway, denying Danish sovereignty in Greenland, trashing NATO!

Anne Applebaum calls Trump’s letter a breaking point. When Trump threatens one ally, he threatens all. Congress silence = complicity! Act NOW!

Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland.

And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.

ICYMI — In negative degrees weather they took a LEGAL naturalized citizen out in his underwear, after trashing his house.

They released him an hour later.

Just to be clear: the President is single-handedly dragging America to economic crisis and war with our closest allies.

And why? To conquer an overseas territory that we have no claim to, have never had a claim to, and already have military bases on.

Oh, and because he didn’t get a prize.

Great point from @markfollman.bsky.social: It's precisely because ICE's killing of Renee Good is so clear cut that Trump and Miller are trying to mire us in debates over supposed video ambiguities. But the evidence is definitive.
