Kamala Harris at her final campaign rally:

"Donald Trump intends to use the United States military against American citizens who simply disagree with him."

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

If anyone blockaded the U.S., launched a military operation to make an arrest on U.S. soil, let alone seized our natural resources, and killed civilians in the process, we'd consider it an act of war.

Donald Trump: “Why can’t we have some people from Norway?”

As a Norwegian, here is my answer:

In Norway, we have permanent employment guaranteed by law, collective wage agreements, and strong unions.

In the US, you can lose your job overnight, without any reason.

In Norway, you can be sick without being financially punished.

In the US, getting sick can mean losing both your pay and your job.

In Norway, we have the right to paid holiday, leave, and a secure pension.

And healthcare and education are free.

In the US, much of this is up to your boss—if you are lucky.

And this is not a coincidence.

It is the result of ordinary people standing together, organising, and fighting for these rights.

So no thanks, I am not moving to get worse rights.

I will stay and defend the working life we have built here.

The only reason long range fires like Taurus and Tomahawks are not in Ukrainian hands comes down to "Putin wouldn’t like it". Letting a KGB dictator set your security policy is absurd cowardice. The costs for Ukraine have been horrific and the costs for Europe keep going up.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Maduro was a dictator.

But let's not pretend Trump cares about democracy.

He cozies up to dictators all over the world when it suits him.

Trump has been clear: he wants Venezuela’s oil.

That’s not democracy. That’s imperialism.

Members of the United States Senate and the House of Representatives,

I am a citizen of Greenland 🇬🇱

You must understand the gravity of the situation.

The people of Greenland are not for sale. The citizens of Greenland are not slaves. Slavery was abolished in 1865, and the idea that a people or their land can be acquired has no place in the modern world, under international law, or within democratic societies.

At this moment, the citizens of Greenland—from children to the elderly—are feeling unsafe and deeply unsettled by the current situation. No population should be made to feel fear or insecurity because of statements made by those in positions of power.

There are no Russian or Chinese naval forces operating in Greenlandic waters. Claims suggesting otherwise are false and misleading.

The United States already has a strong and long-standing defense agreement with the Kingdom of Denmark. This agreement has provided the United States with full military access to Greenland in support of American and allied security.

You, as members of Congress, have a responsibility to act. You must uphold international law, respect the sovereignty of allies, and ensure that no attempt is made to take control of Greenland🇬🇱

You took an oath to the Constitution, not to President Trump.

The world is watching. The people of Greenland are watching. Action is required now.

Sincerely,

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

"Iron laws of the world"? Some of America's most important national accomplishments are about leading humanity away from this kind of bullshit.

If we let ideologues like Stephen Miller drag us back into a world where brute force is all that matters, all of us will be less safe.

We take an oath to the Constitution, and we take an oath to the idea that is America, and we’re willing to die to protect it.” - General Mark Milley

A strong display of unity for Ukraine today in Paris at the Coalition of the Willing leaders meeting from EU Member States, NATO allies and friends of Ukraine.

Our joint statement sends a clear message.

We collectively stand by Ukraine and a safe, secure prosperous future lies ahead.

Our health care system is collapsing. Housing is unaffordable. 60% of people are living paycheck to paycheck.

Instead of trying to "run" Venezuela, Trump might try to do a better job running the United States.

[Donald Tusk @donaldtusk]

No-one will take seriously a weak and divided Europe: neither enemy nor ally. It is already clear now. We must finally believe in our own strength, we must continue to arm ourselves, we must stay united like never before. One for all, and all for one. Otherwise, we are finished.

BREAKING: The Trump admin confirms he is freezing $10,000,000,000.00 in funds for child care in five blue states.

The man, who claims the affordability problem is because of Biden just, decided to take massive funding away from poor kids while Billionaires continue to get massive tax cuts and government contracts.

Six reasons why Trump’s attack on Venezuela was very wrong:

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

BREAKING: The World does NOT Respect Trump like he claims.

In an unprecedented move Macron, Merz, Meloni, Prime Tusk of Poland, Sánchez of Spain, Starmer of the United Kingdom and Frederiksen of Denmark just lashed out at Trump:

"Arctic security remains a key priority for Europe and it is critical for international and transatlantic security.

NATO has made clear that the Arctic region is a priority and European Allies are stepping up. We and many other Allies have increased our presence, activities and investments, to keep the Arctic safe and to deter adversaries. The Kingdom of Denmark — including Greenland — is part of NATO.

Security in the Arctic must therefore be achieved collectively, in conjunction with NATO allies including the United States, by upholding the principles of the UN Charter, including sovereignty, territorial integrity and the inviolability of borders. These are universal principles, and we will not stop defending them.

The United States is an essential partner in this endeavour, as a NATO ally and through the defence agreement between the Kingdom of Denmark and the United States of 1951.

Greenland belongs to its people. It is for Denmark and Greenland, and them only, to decide on matters concerning Denmark and Greenland."

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

If there is a hidden deal between Trump and Putin it would be for this, destroying NATO by attacking a fellow NATO nation. Venezuela isn’t Putin‘s to give, just like Ukraine isn’t Trump‘s to give. But demolishing NATO and leaving Eastern Europe vulnerable is in reach.

[Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly]

Over twenty-five years in the U.S. Navy, thirty-nine combat missions, and four missions to space, I risked my life for this country and to defend our Constitution – including the First Amendment rights of every American to speak out. I never expected that the President of the United States and the Secretary of Defense would attack me for doing exactly that.

My rank and retirement are things that I earned through my service and sacrifice for this country. I got shot at. I missed holidays and birthdays. I commanded a space shuttle mission while my wife Gabby recovered from a gunshot wound to the head– all while proudly wearing the American flag on my shoulder. Generations of servicemembers have made these same patriotic sacrifices for this country, earning the respect, appreciation, and rank they deserve.

Pete Hegseth wants to send the message to every single retired servicemember that if they say something he or Donald Trump doesn’t like, they will come after them the same way. It’s outrageous and it is wrong. There is nothing more un-American than that.

If Pete Hegseth, the most unqualified Secretary of Defense in our country’s history, thinks he can intimidate me with a censure or threats to demote me or prosecute me, he still doesn’t get it. I will fight this with everything I’ve got — not for myself, but to send a message back that Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump don’t get to decide what Americans in this country get to say about their government.

🚨 BREAKING: European leaders just drew a hard line on Greenland.

In a rare joint statement, leaders of France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, the UK, and Denmark made it explicit: Greenland belongs to its people, and only Greenland and Denmark get a say in its future.

They reaffirmed sovereignty, territorial integrity, NATO principles, and rejected outside threats or coercion.

This is Europe saying no, clearly, publicly, and on the record.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

Indeed. Regime change, not dictator change! And was there ever a confirmation or refutation that she was in Moscow when Maduro was captured? The Reuters report claiming so was oddly brief, with no follow-up I can find. Seems important and easy enough to verify either way.

[Yasmina @yasminalombaert]

If there’s one person who understands the strategic reality on the ground in Europe, it’s General Ben Hodges. He spent years commanding U.S. Army Europe. He knows exactly how the Kremlin operates. In this latest interview with LBC, the General doesn't pull any punches.

He lays out the cold, hard truth: while Trump is playing political games and taking two-hour coaching calls from putin, Ukraine is fighting for its life—and for the security of the entire West.

Hodges cuts right through the 'peace deal' noise to show how the current US administration is effectively carrying water for the Kremlin by pushing a narrative of Russian 'inevitability.'

This is the voice of reiason we should be listening to before the Trump administration sells out Ukraine..

LBC Presenter: Ben, your reaction to what we've heard from President Trump over the last few hours?

Ben Hodges: Well, unfortunately, it's clearer now than ever before that President Trump is unfortunately taking the side of the Kremlin. I mean, to have a two-hour phone call with vladimir putin before you go into a meeting with President Zelenskyy—of course, that gave putin the opportunity to give the President all of the talking points, which the President then used during the meeting and during the press conference.

It's just... it was embarrassing. I think it was probably his worst performance in a long list. But to hear the President of the United States basically carry water for the Kremlin by talking about the "inevitability" of a Russian victory, and "why not just have a deal now so you don't lose it later"—that reinforces putin’s main narrative.

And then, worst of all, was the false equivalency of "Russia's attacks on Ukraine" and "Ukraine's attacks on Russia." I mean, Russia is attacking civilian infrastructure—apartment buildings, hospitals, the energy grid. Ukraine is attacking oil and gas, and military targets. There is no equivalency there.

And then the final thing that I thought was just so galling was the President saying, "Well, you know, if we have a ceasefire, it would be very difficult for putin to start his military back up again." He was actually expressing sympathy for the challenge the Kremlin would have in restarting their military operations.

LBC Presenter: And also saying that he "thinks putin wants what's best for Ukraine"—which I imagine will go down like a bucket of cold sick in Kyiv.
