As Washington treats allies as transactional customers and turns long-standing commitments into shakedowns, the world is looking elsewhere for trade and cooperation.

The US is no longer the global trendsetter.

Trump is raising tariffs on 8 NATO allies because they rightly support Denmark's sovereignty in Greenland.

Destroying our closest alliances to take Greenland — which Denmark lets us use freely already — is insane. Congress must say NO.

[ML Smith @maria48308]

She’s right on all counts.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

A group of Senators met with the Foreign Minsters of Denmark and Greenland and it was so maddening.

People in our country are losing their health care, facing price hikes on everything - and Trump is prepping an invasion of Greenland.

Here's what I learned in the meeting.

@WhiteHouse This is just silly and beneath any civilized country. How can the American presidency communicate with such disdain and ignorance?

[Fareed Zakaria @FareedZakaria]

An America that behaves like an utterly self-interested predator on the world stage will not grow stronger. It will grow lonelier.

My take:

[thomdahl @thomdahl]

How can a stable genius like Trump not know that democracy, partnerships and agreements are tools of power, not brutish might.

[Joshua Reed Eakle 🗽 @JoshEakle]

JD Vance is the worst vice president in modern American history.

He makes Trump’s demagoguery look almost benign. Trump’s appeals are often wrapped in silliness and performative absurdity; Vance’s are not.

He is cold, deliberate, and delivers his bile with the smug confidence of someone who knows exactly what he’s doing.

Few people this openly cynical and contemptuous of democratic norms have ever come this close to the White House.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Great work, @realDonaldTrump.

[Sophia A. Nelson @IAmSophiaNelson]

Why is Donald Trump still President? We are only 8 day into 2026. He has kidnapped another country's president. Taken their oil reserves. Allowed ICE agents to murder an American citizen. Not complied with the Epstein files full
release. Threatened & insulted our NATO partners.

[Sam Greene @samagreene]

I study authoritarianism for a living, so I do not say this lightly: America isn't facing an authoritarian future. America is living an authoritarian present.

BREAKING: Gavin Newsom just obliterated Trump’s might-makes-right regime in 90 seconds.

No fear. Just a full-throated defense of law, democracy, and human dignity.

This is a must-watch.

What the fuck is wrong with you?

You have no idea who this woman was. You have no idea what she believed. You have no idea what an actual investigation might show. A 37-year-old American citizen was killed. Her 6-year-old son has been orphaned. Her family and friends are going through the worst moment of their lives. And all you can do is call her a "deranged leftist"?

Seriously what the fuck is wrong with you?

[Congressman Robert Garcia @RepRobertGarcia]

Trump's plans for Greenland are insane. Denmark is a NATO ally of the United States.

Speaker Johnson and Republicans must gain some courage and stand up to Trump on this and so many issues.

[thomdahl @thomdahl]

It is sad and worrying to witness how apathetic and quiet many Americans are when their rogue president is threatening to violate international agreements and making enemies of friends.

Where is the opposition in #USPolitics and why is the president and his trusted circle not severely critisized and scorned for his actions?
