This is more or less the same deal that has been in place in Greenland for eight decades. Any new nuances could have been added without the threats, drama, clumsy covert campaigns and overt attempts to buy influence
From State Dept official background statement on U.S./Greenland/Denmark deal: •The agreement also explicitly bans any non-NATO base in Greenland and bans adversaries from making investments in Greenland that could threaten the United States. ◦Under the previous status quo, any country, including adversaries, could be allowed to build a military base in Greenland or send troops to Greenland. By contrast, under this agreement no non-NATO country may build a base in Greenland or maintain a troop presence in Greenland. ◦Under this agreement, only the U.S. and our allies can make sensitive investments in Greenland, eliminating the previous status quo in which adversaries have been investing in Greenland’s sensitive sectors without investment screening. ◦This agreement guarantees that China and Russia cannot have a base in Greenland, they cannot send troops to Greenland, and the necessary mechanisms are in place to prevent investment in sensitive sectors.

Absolutely believe it. Rubio and Vance are ball polishers. I'm pretty sure Americans, blue and red have had enough of them. Trash.

Nothing could be more disrespectful to a service member’s sacrifice than pretending it never happened. Pete Hegseth is a disgrace and must be fired.

NEW: Reporting shows that the Trump administration is covering up the truth about the number of U.S. troops killed in Trump’s war. It’s a betrayal of American service members and their families.

The United States has had a military presence in Greenland since the 1950s. Trump wanted to buy Greenland. Greenland said no. Now he’s celebrating a security agreement that leaves Greenland exactly where it was. But MAGAs are too stupid to comprehend this and think it's a win.

Huge crowd for the Hands Off the Kennedy Center demonstration in DC to send the message to Trump: Don’t you dare knock down this living memorial to a slain President.

My fellow Americans: Please direct your attention to this matter for just a moment. Allow this to sink in. The President of the United States of America just said he wants to ban the free press. He said he doesn’t want them in his office, which by the way is the Oval Office in the People’s House. This is unheard of, and we the people cannot let this be! For the record, we have a free press in this country. For the record we should all be worried not just about this latest outburst, but by all of it going forward without permission — putting our service members in harms way, raising tariffs willy nilly, threatening buildings and institutions unless his name gets put on them. This is not the behavior of a centered leader who is focused on the good of the people. This is not the behavior of a compassionate leader focused on the millions of Americans who cannot afford healthcare, childcare, gas, or food. This is not the behavior of a man who can emotionally regulate himself. We should all be concerned — those who voted for him and those who didn’t. The midterms are around the corner. Vote like your life and the lives of others are at stake, because they are. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Another day, another record broken. Every single day this week, diesel prices in South Carolina have broken the all-time record — now at $6.16 a gallon. LOWER THE DAMN DIESEL. SUSPEND THE DIESEL TAX.

The move could pose another First Amendment test for the Trump administration, which has faced legal challenges over its efforts to restrict press access based on an outlet’s coverage. Read more from Ebony Davis: ms.now/news/trump-ban-ms-now…

BREAKINGNEWS I have spoken to many leaving Vice President JD Vance speech today in Council Bluffs Iowa and many arent buying it. They were hoping for ideas to bring down grocery cost, ideas to bring down gas prices, ideas to slow cost of living and many say it was same talking points that deliver zero results. Many pointed out the fact that Vice President Vance asked them for a second chance. That Rome wasn't built overnight and the attacks on Democratic Party. One farmer told me the Democratic Party isn’t why we are in this mess and the only one that seems crazy was JD Vance for not being transparent on what the administration is going to do about it. One lady who traveled from Boone, Iowa says she was told immirgarants and transgender people are the problem and she left the speech believing Republicans are the problem. I heard from very few that support this administration 100% and many are willing to vote Democrat if it means legislation will get passed and tariffs will stop. Huge flop for Vice President Vance. 🚨

Pete Hegseth is covering up the deaths of American servicemembers and contractors. It’s a betrayal of the men & women who have served and sacrificed for our country. I’m leading a new bill to prevent the Pentagon from manipulating government data on troop casualties. wapo.st/3SPycmE

BREAKING: @CNN reports that the US military almost launched a military operation to intercept a Chinese vessel based on erroneous information provided by AI, almost starting a war with China! The AI created a report saying that the Chinese vessel in the Middle East was carrying components of a nuclear weapon’s program.

AI safety is too important to get wrong. Unlike Trump, we’re not sitting on our hands. Before industry leaders sounded the alarm, I enacted first-in-the-nation AI safety measures mandating third-party audits of frontier labs. Congress must follow our lead.

This is amazing: Kerry Kennedy, niece of President John F. Kennedy, is organizing a rally tonight where people will literally join hands and surround the Kennedy Center to protect it from Trump's demolition plans. Do you stand with Kerry Kennedy? #HandsAroundTheKennedyCenter
