Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney just confirmed that if the US was to invade Greenland, Canada would view it as an attack on Canada, would be obligated to assist in Greenland's defense, and could use military force against the United States.
“The future of Greenland is a decision for Greenland and for the kingdom of Denmark. We are NATO partners with Denmark and so our full partnership stands. Our obligations on Article 5, an Article 2 of NATO stand and we stand fully squared behind those.”
There should be an age limit... both for presidential eligibility as well as in the rest of the government‼️These old white men are based in a world that no longer exists‼️
My bill, the No Kings Act, is being voted on in committee this week. It would allow you to sue federal agents if they use excessive force, illegally detain you, or violate your right to free speech. In a democracy no one is above the law, including the President & federal agents.
Murphy: He's trying to convince you that immigrants are the greatest threat to our democracy to hide the fact that Donald Trump is the greatest threat to our democracy…
He wants us to be at war with each other as a distraction from the fact he is stealing from the American people
In Trump's America, rich people can rip off innocent taxpayers and get a pardon. But the President was quick to withhold funding for social services, which doesn't actually hold criminals accountable.
It hurts the very people who are harmed by fraud in the first place.
MULCAIR: "Prior to Donald Trump winning his second election, we put ourselves in lockstep with the Americans for a 100% tariff on Chinese EVs. What did that get us in return from the US? It got us beaten up with tariffs and an intentional attack on our economy."
BREAKING: I'm reintroducing my bill with @SenMarkey to end qualified immunity for federal officers—including ICE agents.
This bill is for Renee Good, Keith Porter, & everyone in America to know that when ICE agents break the law & kill our neighbors, they'll be held accountable.
James Talarico: “These politicians want a Christian nation unless it means providing healthcare to the sick, or funding food assistance for the hungry, or raising the minimum wage for the poor. They want to base our laws on the Bible, until they read the words of Jesus.”
Econ Professor: Is this the first time a Fed chair has been threatened with jail for upsetting the president? In US history, it's absolutely the first time. In global history, absolutely not. We've seen these tactics before in Argentina, Russia, Turkey, Venezuela and Zimbabwe. This is the stuff of tin pot dictators. This is the stuff that tends to precede hyperinflation. This is the sort of story that never ends well.
.@Timodc says it's time to stand up and fight back against ICE thuggery: "This stuff is ratcheting up, not down, and it is gonna take a united populace to say no, to get them to back off this, and it's worked"
Van Hollen: I—and my office—have been working with a mom from the state of Maryland. She lived here 20 years. She has four kids. She was snatched off the streets by ICE a couple of weeks ago.
She asked to be released to be able to visit with her 15-year-old son, who was dying of cancer. They said no. Shame.
He died the next day. Her son died the next day without being able to say goodbye to his mom, and his mom was unable to say goodbye to him. That is the lack of humanity. That is the lack of basic human decency that we’re seeing from this administration. And that is why you’re all out here.
We are now working very hard to make sure that this mom is at least released to go to her son’s memorial service.
🔥 @gtconway3d: “Donald Trump represents all the things we teach our children not to be — a liar, a thief, a molester. He has no remorse. No shame. No empathy. No loyalty to the law or to the constitution… this man is the lowest character of all.”
Rep. Crow: “As a three-time combat veteran, I get pretty damn hot when a five-time draft dodger like Donald Trump pounds his chest and bangs the war drums in Washington…America is over it. America is over…the sending of our sons and daughters and brothers and sisters to enrich oil executives.”
Trump and his fascist authoritarian regime have no idea of the sleeping giant they've awakened: The resistance against the pedophile führer and his Nazi ICE thugs is in full swing in Minneapolis — and it's fucking awe-inspiring. 🙌💪👏✊️👇
