Those astronauts who were stuck on the space station for 278 extra days? No overtime, but a $5-a-day allowance for "incidentals" since they were government employees traveling for work. @yanzhuang25 https://t.co/Akg9ZFkJxa

Thousands of Danish citizens are launching an effort to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland.

They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”
