#Trump has never been someone to ask what he can do for his country.
In his 2nd term, as in his 1st, he is instead testing the limits of what his country can do for him.
He has poured himself into the #exploitation of the #presidency — into finding out just how much #money #people, #corporations & other #nations are willing to put into his pockets in hopes of bending the #power of the #government to the #service of their #interests.
A review by the NYT editorial board relying on analyses from #news organizations [with strict #JournalisticStandards requiring a minimum of 2 #reliable #sources to report on any single matter]…shows that #Trump has [ab]used the office of the presidency to make at least $1.4 billion.
#SelfService #PublicDisservice #law #US #USpol #Constitution #emoluments #plutocracy #kleptocracy #MafiaState
NYT knows this number is an underestimate because some of his #profits remain #hidden from public view. And they continue to grow.
In fact, “The Trumps” have made at least $23 million trom licensing the #Trump name just in overseas marketing since his re-election.

"The dollar slid on Monday after Donald Trump threatened European allies with tariffs over his campaign to take control of Greenland, as the return of trade turmoil reawakened global investors’ concerns about their massive exposure to US assets.
The euro gained 0.4 per cent against the US currency by late afternoon in London, as did the pound, while stock markets fell on both sides of the Atlantic.
Fund managers said the dollar’s decline reflected anxiety that the latest escalation of Trump’s trade war could encourage global investors to sell or hedge US assets — in a revival of a trend that fuelled a 9 per cent fall in the currency’s last year.
“[This is] another chipping away at the credibility of US institutions,” said Altaf Kassam, head of investment strategy for Europe at State Street Investment Management, adding that he expected further declines for the dollar this year.
The Swiss franc, a safe haven in currency markets, was one of the big winners on Monday, rising 0.6 per cent against the dollar."

Oh gee …. Today will be a very hard lesson for President Trump. The markets started to respond to his ideas of taking over #Greenland with military might. #Bondmarkets are selling off, not only weakening the US dollar, but also increasing interest rates. This is not the kind of news. #Trump wants to read. And no, you cannot blame #JeromePowell and the #federalreserve for this. Let’s see what the next days / #Davos / the #WEF will bring, but #gold at an all-time high is a very clear signal.
Below, Robert Kagen, says (to Carole Cadwalladr) something that confirms what many of us have been saying:
'it's just a faulty analysis to think that if you can flatter Trump enough & call him daddy, that means he'll leave you alone. As we see, he's not leaving anybody alone. It's really just – in fact, with him, it's an invitation to come back & demand something else & push you around. So you can't buy anything in that way'!
Keir needs to listen!
Canadians should notice, in addition obviously to our country being part of the USA with Greenland (but not Mexico):
Our Prime Minister is literally not in the picture.
That is what he thinks of Canada, and Mark Carney. He thinks we are weak because our Prime Minister is weak.

“Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition. …more recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as weapons, tariffs as leverage, financial infrastructure as coercion, supply chains as vulnerabilities to be exploited. You cannot live within the lie of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination.”

@wdlindsy 4 years of a #trump administration, 4 years of Biden, 6 more months of Trump, and NOW they say “The good news is: We acted immediately.”
If this is immediately, I’d hate to see slowly. And I’m not sure about using “acted” in the past tense. I think they’ve spoken, but actions are still a ways out.
"Donald Trump now genuinely lives in a different reality, one in which neither grammar nor history nor the normal rules of human interaction now affect him. Also, he really is maniacally, unhealthily obsessive about the Nobel Prize.

"I suspect when future generations read about this era of US history (to the extent that 'reading,' 'the US,' and 'history' are still things that exist), they will peruse as one of their primary documents the letter that President Donald Trump sent to the Prime Minister of Norway, laying out his justification for his desired invasion of Greenland. They will wonder:"
~ Jill Filipovic
"How was it possible that American citizens could read this letter and not become very concerned for the psychological fitness of their leader? How was it possible that such an obviously unwell man still enjoyed the backing of his party and a significant minority of the public? How did members of Congress, empowered as they are to force the removal of a president who descends into lunacy, not intervene?"
"The physician for former Vice President Dick Cheney has called on Congress to open a bipartisan investigation into Donald Trump’s fitness to serve following Trump’s letter to Norway suggesting that he may invade Greenland due to the fact that he did not receive the Nobel Peace Prize."

“Cautious” has defined #Europe's approach to the US recently. The problem is that to the public, there is little difference between “Cautious” and “Submissive”.
I expect European leaders are now beginning to understand that appeasing #Trump is not a vote-winner.
The time for words is coming to an end, we can now expect a transition to action.
It's not too hard to develop a theory of mind about #Trump. Vainglorious, petulant, petty, vindictive, bearing grudges, with a core of inadequacy and need to be unconditionally loved.
When he's manic, he wants to be everyone's Manic Pixie Dream Boy, and make everything wonderful, better than it's ever been before. Peter Pan with nuclear weapons.
But when he's down, he's nihilistic and wants to destroy his enemies, and his friends even moreso.

"Attempting to apply logic to his lies and nonsense becomes the same tiresome burden we face with everything else he says late at night on Truth Social, at Oval Office press gaggles, as he walks to his Marine helicopter on the way to Mar a Lago….
Trump’s utterances, no matter their form, have a unifying theme that he was good enough to put into words during his recent interview with four reporters from the New York Times."
"After telling them that ownership of Greenland was 'psychologically needed,' he was asked if taking over Greenland was 'psychologically important to you or the United States?'
'Psychologically important for me,' he replied without hesitation." …
This has been said before, but it needs to be said again: Trump is a weak man who is always trying to appear strong."
"Somewhere inside him, he must be aware that his 'psychologically important' need for love and approval is as visible to others as it is to him when he looks in the mirror every morning. Can you imagine how sad it is to be Donald Trump? It must be why he falls asleep all day sitting in his chair. If I were him for even a moment, I wouldn’t want to be awake either."
"It could be a Monty Python skit from forty years ago: A demented U.S. president demands the Nobel Peace Prize (which he initially spells “Noble”), after converting the name of the Department of Defense to the Department of War and abducting the president of a Latin American country by force."

In an email sent to the Senate’s sergeant-at-arms, #JeaninePirro’s office requested an interview with the senator or her private counsel.
It is unclear what possible #crime might involve Sen #ElissaSlotkin who has warned in dire terms about the dissolution of #US #democracy.
#military #MilitaryLaw #law #LegalEthics #DOJ #Trump #RevengePolitics
Sen #ElissaSlotkin organized the video, which #Trump & other admin ofcls have described as “seditious,” along with 5 other Democratic lawmakers who are also #military #veterans. Its message that military officers are obligated to ignore #illegal orders is a fundamental principle of #MilitaryLaw.
The investigation by #JeninePirro’s office is the latest escalation in a campaign by #Trump & his allies to exact retribution on those he views as enemies seeking to undermine his admin or his authority as commander in chief.
…#ElissaSlotkin, a former #CIA officer who served 3 tours in Iraq, described the investigation as an effort by an #authoritarian president to #weaponize the federal government & intimidate her into silence.
#military #MilitaryLaw #law #LegalEthics #DOJ #RevengePolitics
“Facts matter little, but the threat matters quite a bit,” #ElissaSlotkin said. “The threat of legal action; the threat to your family; the threat to your staff; the threat to you.”
…“I’ve seen democracies flicker out,” Slotkin said in March when she delivered her party’s response to #Trump’s SOTU address. “I’ve seen what life is like when a government is rigged.”
“You can’t criticize the guys in charge without getting a knock at the door in the middle of the night,” she added.
In the months that followed, Slotkin’s warnings about the state of #US #democracy have grown more dire & her worries that #Trump will use the #legal system or the #military to target Americans who disagree with him have become more pronounced.
In June, as Trump was deploying #Marines & #NationalGuard forces to LA over the objection of state & local leaders, #ElissaSlotkin asked #Hegseth during a Senate hearing whether he had given the troops orders “to shoot at unarmed protesters in any way.”
#Hegseth laughed & dismissed her question.
After the assassination of the right-wing activist Charlie Kirk in September, #Trump & his top advisers said they were going to designate certain left-wing groups as “domestic terrorists.”
“As a former #CIA officer, that pricked my ears up,” #ElissaSlotkin said.
Slotkin, speaking at the Brookings Institution in the fall, suggested that Trump could use #LethalForce against his domestic enemies or target them with #criminal “investigations”.
“I’m giving this speech today because I believe that’s exactly the plan,” she said. “I believe that #Trump is ready to bring the full weight of the federal government against Americans he perceives as enemies. Why? Because he has one goal: making sure that he & his ilk never have to give up #power.”

#DOJ weighs rollback of #GunRegulations
#Trump admin seeks to placate #gun rights groups that have criticized AG #PamBondi.
The “Justice” Department is considering loosening a slate of gun regulations as it seeks to bolster support from ardent #2ndAmendment advocates….
#law #GunViolence #GunEpidemic #MassShootings #guns #PublicSafety #PublicHealth
https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2026/01/19/trump-justice-department-gun-regulations-atf/
Some of the changes are expected to ease restrictions on the private sale of #guns & loosening #regulations around shipping #firearms.
Other changes to ATF regulations under consideration would change the types of firearms that can be imported & make licensing fees refundable. Officials are also expected to change the form required to purchase guns to have applicants list their biological sex at birth🙄. The current form asks applicants to list their sex.
"Overnight we learned that Donald Trump sent an ominous letter to Norway suggesting war could be on the table over Greenland as he is upset that Norway did not award him the Nobel Prize."

"The Kremlin says Vladimir Putin has been invited to join Donald Trump’s proposed 'board of peace' for overseeing a Gaza ceasefire—an unconfirmed move that raises questions about the board’s purpose and reinforces criticism that Trump is favourably disposed toward Russia despite Putin continuing the war in Ukraine."
Trump wrote the Norwegian PM Jonas Gahr Støre to say,
"Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America."
"In his letter to Støre, Trump said Denmark 'cannot protect' Greenland from Russia or China, adding: 'Why do they have a "right of ownership" anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago.'”
~ Jon Henley
"Multi-layered 'look what you made me do' lie.
Because Norway didn’t give a him prize (it doesn’t decide winners) for ending wars (he didn’t end) the US won’t be peaceful anymore (bombing multiple countries) and will take Greenland (part of Denmark, not Norway) to stop Russia (it’d help Russia)."

James Fallows offers a primer on Trump and Greenland:
1) This crisis is all coming from someone’s gut. Not from anyone’s brain.
2) The US has nothing to gain by ‘owning’ Greenland. Zero.
3) No one wants us there. Zero.
4) Greenland is smaller than you think. But the distances and remoteness are larger.
5) The whole idea of taking over Greenland would appall the founders of our country.
"The US wants to take this over because… it’s 'psychologically important' to one mentally failing 79-year-old man?"
"CBS POLL: Do you approve or disapprove of US using military force to take Greenland?
🟢 Approve: 14%
🟤 Disapprove: 86%"

The graphic below, mocking Trump's susceptibility to insane ideas if a Nobel Peace Prize is dangled in front of him (and also mocking his insane jealousy of Barack Obama) is circulating on social media, and I have been unable to track its creator.

"Protests took place in Copenhagen, Denmark, and in Nuuk, Greenland, over the weekend. Thousands took to the streets to demonstrate against Trump’s plans to invade Greenland. Folks held signs that read 'Yankee Go Home' and 'No Annexation Without Representation,' and wore red hats that said 'Make America Go Away.'”

Pointing to Trump's letter to the Norwegian PM, Anne Applebaum says,
"The word 'bizarre' isn’t really sufficient to describe the strange things happening right now in Washington. ...
Years of careful diplomacy, billions of dollars in trade, are now at risk because senators and representatives who know better have refused to use the powers they have to block him. Now is the time."

"With President Donald Trump ratcheting up economic threats against U.S. allies as part of his campaign to take Greenland, after the administration's comments that military action is 'always an option,' U.S. bishops are offering stark warnings against the administration's recent foreign policy actions and threats, including a rare joint statement from three senior church leaders.

"On Monday, Jan. 19, three Catholic cardinals — Blase Cupich of Chicago, Robert McElroy of Washington, D.C., and Joseph Tobin of Newark, New Jersey — amplified an address given Jan. 9 by Pope Leo XIV to the Vatican's diplomatic corps."
"'We renounce war as an instrument for narrow national interests and proclaim that military action must be seen only as a last resort in extreme situations, not a normal instrument of national policy,' said the cardinals, each of whom were staunch allies of Pope Francis and were present at the conclave that elected Leo."
But despite this fucking insanity, they still won't put into motion the procedures for when their President is mentally incapable of performing the job.

Pressemitteilung vom 14.01: Das Urteil in Budapest wird erst am 4. Februar gesprochen.
‚Heute war der erste von vier angekündigten Prozesstagen in Budapest. Das Urteil soll nun jedoch erst an einem fünften Prozesstag, am 4. Februar gesprochen werden. Als Grund für die Verschiebung nannte der Richter die versehentliche verspätete Versendung von Unterlagen für ein medizinisches Gutachten.
Am 19. Januar soll die Staatsanwaltschaft ihr Plädoyer halten, die Plädoyers der Rechtsanwälte sollen am 22. Januar und gegebenenfalls ergänzend am 4. Februar erfolgen.
Der heutige Prozesstag zeichnete sich durch eine sehr schlechte und streckenweise unverständliche Übersetzung aus. Dabei ging es vor allem um medizinische Beurteilungen.
Während an der Ecke vor dem Gericht eine Demonstration von Rechtsextremisten stattfand, waren alle Versuche, eine Unterstützungsdemonstration für Maja anzumelden, verboten worden. Als Begründung wurde angeführt, unter den Teilnehmenden könnten Unterstützer der „terroristischen Vereinigung Antifa-Ost“ sein.
Gleichzeitig versagte das Gericht für diesen und die nächsten Prozesstermine vielen Besuchern die Zugangsberechtigung….‘

“Under Trump, the United States has weaponized tariffs, supply chains, intelligence sharing, and defense dependencies as leverage.

We pledged more defence spending, but it hasn’t put to rest threats about annexation.”

Nothing we’ve seen in his 5 yrs as president tells us that policy concessions will make us safe.”

I am old enough to remember segregation. My parents were in the crowd that heard MLK’s dream. I rode one of the first busses, when they finally rolled in the Deep South, decades after legislation demanded it. I remember being a student being given a ride home by a football player, and we both ended up with cop inflicted bruises, because they assumed a “white” girl was messing with a black boy.
We fought then, we fight now. Fuck compliance.
Trump declined to say if he’d use force to take Greenland, telling NBC News “no comment.” He vowed 10% tariffs on Denmark and others until a deal is made, and linked the issue to his lost Nobel bid, blaming Norway for controlling the prize. #Trump

As well as threatening #tariffs on #EU #allies over the weekend, #Trump also sent #Norway’s PM a message tying his demands for #Greenland to the fact he had not been awarded the #NobelPeacePrize. Apparently Trump is ignorant of the fact that the Norwegian government does not award the #Nobel.

Greenland is the number one story in Europe. It's the 5th story in the NYTimes atm.
When you are hoping that US politicians will reign back Trump as it could be an existential crisis for the western alliance - is it as important to them?
"Ask anyone who has lived in a country that became an autocracy, and they will tell you some version of a story about walls closing in on them, about space getting smaller and smaller. The space they are talking about is freedom. In Russia, mass protest used to be possible. (The first time people got prison terms for peaceful protest, in 2012, I wrote a whole book about it.) Then mass protest became impossible and the only option was what we called the one-person picket: a person standing alone with a sign. Then people started getting arrested for standing alone with a blank piece of paper, then for “liking” something on social media. Russian journalists used to know that they could write freely as long as they stuck to culture and avoided politics; now a person can get arrested for performing a tune by a banned songwriter.
Of course, the United States is not Russia — or Hungary or Venezuela or Israel or any of the many other democracies that have turned or are turning themselves into autocracies. But now is the time to focus on the similarities and try to learn from the ways other countries have cracked down on protest, eviscerated their electoral systems, limited their media freedom and built concentration camps. The only way to keep the space from imploding is to fill it, to prop up the walls: to claim all the room there still is for speaking, writing, publishing, protesting, voting. It’s what the people of Minnesota appear to be doing, and it’s something each of us needs to do — right now, while we still can."

BODIES ENDORSE JANUARY 23: DAY OF TRUTH AND FREEDOM
NO WORK, SCHOOL, OR SHOPPING
MINNEAPOLIS – The Minneapolis Regional Labor Federation, AFL-CIO along with
regional bodies throughout the state, including the Saint Paul Regional Labor
Federation, the West Area Labor Council, the North East Area Labor Council and the
East Central Labor Council, have joined in solidarity to endorse a powerful unified
statewide action on January 23: Day of Truth and Freedom. The Minnesota labor
movement is united against the violent ICE occupation of our beloved cities that has
directly impacted union members, our workplaces and our families.
Workers are essential for our communities to function. Since the ICE campaign of terror
began, both immigrant and non-immigrant workers have feared for their safety when
going to work, being at work, and coming home from work. Union members and our
families are being illegally detained at alarming rates, with workplaces and schools
facing increased challenges.

The post also makes explicit that Trump is trying to use tariffs not to nurture the American economy but to force other countries to do his bidding."

"Donald Trump is not blowing up NATO by accident. He is not threatening tariffs on European allies because he is impulsive. And he is not floating bizarre new global bodies where nations pay billions for access because he suddenly cares about peace.
This is a strategy. A crude one, but coherent. And it is designed to replace alliances with tribute."

Update. There are good political reasons to observe, record, and protest #ICE, even with no expectation that it will change ICE behavior. But it turns out there's empirical evidence that this kind of observation reduces violence.
From sociologist #NicoleBedera: "The vast majority of men are only willing to engage in public violence if they feel like the people around them will approve of — and reward them for — that violence. ICE Watch works because it surrounds men seeking approval with people loudly expressing their 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘢𝘭…There are countless videos from ICE Watch observers that show agents leaving without detaining anyone after they encounter resistance."

Greenland should stay as it is. I urge all countries outside the USA to impose the ultimate penalty on US goods through a BOYCOT of US products. It is not a question of "your nation first" but an attempt to show #Trump the world sees him for the megalomanic he is. Hit him in his wallet. Yes, American business will get hurt, but hopefully just short term losses.

"Trump’s real innovation has been to marry the archaic geopolitics of a settler empire to the modern legal frameworks devised by his liberal predecessors. What distinguishes his latest regime is its effort to reimagine and remake the borders of American state power, collapsing the foreign and the domestic in a single domain of impunity: call it ‘Homeland Empire’.
The Trump administration envisions “reshoring” national security in a lasting way, drawing on the dubious norms and legalities of the War on Terror and the rancid infrastructures and policing capacities of America’s domestic penal complex. If George W. Bush helped invent the concept of ‘homeland security’ in order to “fight the terrorists over there” rather than here, Trump seeks to bring the war to “OUR hemisphere”. From Caracas to Minneapolis, legal authority and institutional power are being redirected toward an overriding end: governing populations as subjects rather than citizens.
With a goal of processing more than one million annual removals (and as many as 10 million in the coming years), ‘mass deportation’ effectively recasts swathes of the country, and particularly major cities, as ideologically and racially alien, enemy territory to be ruled by force. Meanwhile, from Greenland to the “Gulf of America”, fantasies of lucrative resource wars and land grabs beckon. Like a latent image formed after harsh exposure, the Homeland Empire is what comes into view after the dissolution of America’s fading liberal imperium.
But a theory of violence is not a theory of power. Trump’s Homeland Empire is incapable of generating consensual order or lasting hegemony: it can only sustain itself through short-term clearing operations – smash and grab. Maybe this is what happens when the actual, functioning empire enters its terminal, attritional phase: construction, growth and visions of progress are replaced by pyrotechnic convulsions."
It’s clear that Trump is willing to extort the world for what he wants.

Trump s'est montré vexé par l'opération militaire de plusieurs pays européens, dont la France, au Groenland. D'autant que ses propres généraux se montrent peu enthousiastes à l'idée d'annexer ce territoire. Le président américain agite la menace commerciale, tout en se moquant une nouvelle fois de Macron. "Plus il se sent acculé à intérieur, plus Trump intervient à l'international", observe un diplomate, en référence aux manifs anti-ICE aux US
"#Democrats are overconfident with their mid-term prospect."
I have to agreed with this analysis. Blue wave didn't happen in the past, it is not going to happen this Nov.
Trump's new Fed chair will lower the rate drastically before the mid-term. The wealth effect will make most Americans forgive #Trump.
Trump will likely send out the Tariff bonus cheque. It won't be $2000, but even a $300 cheque with his signature on it will save a lot of #GOP seats.
This is all Trump's & Putin's plan. Russia essentially is allowing the US to have Greenland (and later Canada), while this would of course destroy NATO, making Europe more vulnerable to Russia. Basically, it's division of the continents, imperialistic 1800's style. Their plan is too obvious.
This would allow China to invade Taiwan easily too, without international pushback.
Only continent up for grabs then would be Africa.

3 out of 4 Americans oppose Trump on Greenland
CNN survey finds just 25% of Americans favor the US attempting to take control of the Danish territory. Even the president’s partisans are about evenly divided, with 50% of Republicans & Republican-leaning independents saying they support it and 50% opposed. Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents are deeply against the move, with 94% opposed overall, including 80% who say they strongly oppose it.

Heather Cox Richardson notes that on the same day Maria Corina Machado gave Trump the Nobel Peace Prize he now wants to pretend belongs to him, the Florida Panthers hockey team presented him with a jersey bearing his name and the number 47, two championship rings, and a golden hockey stick.

Trump responded saying that he hoped the team didn't want him to choose between the stick and the jersey, then:
"Maybe I get both, who the hell knows. I’m president, I’ll just take ‘em.”
Because as we all know, that's what presidents do: just take'em.
Heather then notes that in the fall of 2021, Trump told Susan Glasser and her husband, journalist Peter Baker, that he wanted Greenland as a piece of real estate.

“'I’m in real estate,' he told them. 'I look at a corner, I say, "I gotta get that store for the building that I’m building," et cetera. You know, it’s not that different.'"
And in his interview with New York Times published on January 7, Trump said he wants not just to work with Greenland, but to own it, “Ownership is very important,” he told David E. Sanger.
#Trump #madman #megalomania #NobelPeacePrize #Greenland #Venezuela

“'Why is ownership important here?' Sanger asked.
'Because that’s what I feel is psychologically needed for success,' Trump answered. 'I think that ownership gives you a thing that you can’t do, whether you’re talking about a lease or a treaty. Ownership gives you things and elements that you can’t get from just signing a document, that you can have a base.'”

"This Pax (Ex) Americana era was illustrated Friday, as Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney wrapped up a trip to China.

"Carney and Chinese President Xi Jinping unveiled a 'new strategic partnership' between the two countries. ... Trump’s big bet that countries would ultimately determine that they simply can’t live without America’s markets, and thus would cave to his every whim, was dangerously wrong. Instead, Carney’s Beijing visit shows just how much Trump has done to make China great again."
His 'Donroe' atavism fits with his other primitive throwback policies, from tariffs (recalling the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 that deepened the Great Depression) to immigration, racial discrimination and restriction (recalling the Johnson-Reed Act of 1924 excluding southern and eastern Europeans and barring Asians)."

"While Trump strides across the stage posing as a world conqueror, the Quinnipiac poll shows him to be an incredible shrinking man – 57% opposed to 'running' Venezuela; 73% opposed to sending troops there; 55% opposed to taking over its oil sales; 86% opposed to militarily seizing Greenland; 55% opposed to buying it; and 70% against military action against Iran. According to the AP-NORC poll, 61% disapprove of his foreign policy in general."
"The Reuters-Ipsos poll showed only 17% in favor of Trump acquiring Greenland & 4% in favor of military force.
Public disapproval of Trump’s foreign policy now nearly equals the disapproval of his economic policy, on cost of living at minus 25 points. Trump has repeatedly derided the reality of the 'affordability crisis' as a 'hoax', 'scam' or 'con job', lately on 13 January, as a 'fake word', as though he could magically make it vanish."
"Financial Times: The first US sale of the Venezuelan crude oil was to a company whose senior member had donated to Trump’s re-election campaign.

Should the #UnitedStates, #Trump, buy #Greenland it would only do this in #USdollars. Currently the United States holds approximately 8100 metric tons of physical #gold in its vaults. That is currently approximately $1 trillion… way too little as a price tag for Greenland. They would never ever give all of its gold away and issue extra bonds. That alone shows how absurd the idea of buying Greenland is.

"When the restaurant closed that evening at 8:30 p.m., ICE agents followed departing workers and detained three of them.
The agents presumably had a good laugh about this. Perhaps they relished their meal even more because the staff that served them was frightened. Humiliation of their victims, a kind of relish in their fear and misery, a kind of—let’s call it what it is—sadism has become a dominant part of the culture of ICE."
"Why the hell are federal forces brutalizing Minneapolis? Are the Twin Cities a bastion of undocumented immigrants? The Migration Policy Institute estimates around 100,000 people in all of Minnesota are in the country illegally. Sound like a lot? The organization’s estimates for Florida, Texas, and California are 1.2 million, almost 2 million, and just under 3 million, respectively."

"There does not appear to have ever been a criminal indictment stemming from an ICE shooting at all. ...
The self-defense claim ICE, its agents, or their lawyers have made after shootings has historically been proven impossible to refute. An agent using deadly force does so justifiably when it is 'objectively reasonable and necessary,' ICE spokesperson Mike Alvarez told me in an email in 2024."

"the core idea of removing this many undocumented #immigrants—and the classes of them now getting deported—is itself deeply unpopular...

In short: If you drop the goal of high numbers, you’re dropping mass deportations. And that won’t happen. As it is, #Miller is well short of that quota, and he’s scaling up ICE recruitment to hit his targets. So the societal disruptions will only get worse—of necessity."

Good Lord, I remember late night comedians making jokes about Obama's Peace Prize because he hadn't had much chance to act as president yet.
At least he had the right ideals.
Maria Machado should have her Nobel Peace Prize revoked. She dishonored the Nobel Peace Prize and all its recipients by gifting hers to Trump. Let’s be clear, she is attempting to gain favor from Trump for her own political and financial gain. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-01-16/norway-stunned-after-venezuela-s-machado-gifts-nobel-peace-prize-medal-to-trump #uspol #nobel #nobelpeaceprize #trump

It’s imagining #trump has power that he doesn’t. took those clauses off Some unnamed government web page did this. It’s bad. It’s malicious. It’s lots of things. But that does not mean they removed clauses from the constitution. They did not need to consult congress to modify a web page. That’s not what is wrong here.

Um, y’all...I don’t want to alarm anyone, but I think things are about to kick off in a couple venues.
First: #Trump is threatening to send the military into #Minnesota to attack civilians.
Second: Every #NATO nation but the US has just landed forces in #Greenland to protect it from us.
Third: Many C-17 #Globemaster III aircraft have recently landed in Gloucestershire, UK, as part of a significant U.S. military buildup, with flight data indicating they originated from Fort Campbell, KY, the home of the U.S. Army’s 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Night Stalkers).
Additionally, AC-130J #Ghostrider gunships were spotted arriving in Suffolk. While the C-17s are strategic airlifters capable of transporting troops and equipment, the AC-130J is a heavily armed gunship equipped with a 30mm Bushmaster cannon, a 105mm howitzer, and Hellfire missiles. These assets are typically used in special operations.
L'administration Trump ne semble guère impressionnée par l'opération militaire déployée par l'Europe au Groenland. Il faut dire que pour le moment, la force européenne se compose de trois soldats suédois, de deux Norvégiens, de treize Allemands, d’une "quinzaine" de français, d’un officier britannique, d’un officier hollandais et de deux officiers finlandais. "C'est un signal stratégique envoyé aux US", plaide un diplomate.

Misogyny, Murder and Renee Nicole Good
#ReneeNicoleGood was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis a week ago today.
We’ve likely all seen the video. Many of us have seen it from different angles and with different analysis.
Most people watched it and saw an angry man with a mask shoot a calm unarmed woman three times in the head. Many feel it was murder.
Except for #Trump, #Noem and #MAGA. They have been defending the #ICE agent since the shooting occurred. They’re blaming Renee. They’re saying she was a threat. That she should have complied. That she shouldn’t have been there.

Timothy Burke writes about how easy it is for the hard right to manipulate the media into adopting hard-right framing, and why this happens so easily:
"The punditry never really sees—or at least admits—how they’re being worked into a new framing, and about how that working reveals how many of them have no deep values or beliefs that anchor them to some basic propositions on right and wrong, good and bad, generative and destructive."
https://timothyburke.substack.com/p/the-news-window-dressing
"And very few of them will ever take note of how or why they moved from weeks of solemn pronouncements about the wrongness of calling a group of people deplorables to indifference to the wrongness of a daily torrent of vile abuse directed at the majority of the country."
"That working reveals how many of them have no deep values or beliefs that anchor them to some basic propositions on right and wrong, good and bad, generative and destructive": this is the heart of it.
Mike Brock addresses his "former friends in crypto and tech," who have inordinate influence on media framing and who affect not to know the extent of protest now against the Trump regime:
I wanted to address my former friends in crypto and tech directly. The ones who said I had Trump derangement syndrome. Who said Kamala would be worse."

#TheCryptocalypseChronicles: Maybe The Russian Bots Were Jeffrey Epstein The Whole Time
A portrait of a man and his social media influence operations.
I have been patiently waiting for someone to report on the fact that among the #Epstein documents released in November is incontrovertible proof that Epstein was working with hackers in #Dubai to monitor and/or influence the progress of the 2016 American election on social media. Alas so far I have been disappointed, and so it has fallen to me to point this out.
tl;dr Epstein was receiving regular reports about social media vibes w/r/t #HillaryClinton and #Trump from a seller of "offensive cybersecurity services" who was partnered up with a young woman from #Uzbekistan.

I posted recently that there was a non-zero chance of #Trump starting WW3.
#Greenland is a territory of #Denmark. Denmark is in #NATO. The NATO Treaty says an armed attack against one NATO member shall be considered an attack against them all.
Lots of people warned before Trump was reelected that when a narcissist feels the walls closing around him, he takes everybody else down with him.
That's what's happening.
The GOP in Congress could still stop it, but time's running out.

CNN is an evil news outlet. Its headlines are designed to create the conditions for another invasion, after which they quietly walk back the data implied in those very headlines. They’ve done this to #Venezuela, to #Cuba, and to several other countries. In many ways, they are worse than #Trump.

This happened at #BarnardCollege. Probably no accident that Barnard is affiliated with #Columbia. Trump officials said they had a right to the personal contact info, and the school handed it over.

Update. The Trump admin is demanding a list of Jewish faculty, staff, and students at UPenn.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/13/upenn-trump-jews-list
Trump's #EEOC asked for the list last July. Penn refused, and the EEOC sued the university in November. What's new is that several groups just filed a motion in federal court to intervene in the lawsuit on the side of the university -- the American Association of University Professors (#AAUP, national and UPenn chapters), the American Academy of Jewish Research, the UPenn Jewish Law Students Association, the UPenn Association of Senior and Emeritus Faculty.
From #StevenWeitzman, UPenn prof of religious studies at UPenn and past member of its antisemitism taskforce: “Part of what sets off alarm bells for people like me is a history of people using Jewish lists against Jews. The Nazi campaign against Jews depended on institutions like universities handing over information about their Jewish members to the authorities.”

Denmark's Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen & his Greenlandic counterpart Vivian Motzfeldt have left the White House, according to Danish media.
Notably there was no “press” conference at the WH as the #Trump admin is so fond of doing.

Defying the strong resistance to #ICE in the community following the tragic #shooting last week of #RenéeNicoleGood, federal agents appear to have become even more aggressive in their “enforcement” activities. Agents have gone door-to-door demanding entrance; they’ve pulled people from their cars, arrested them for supposed #immigration violations or specious infractions such as “interfering” with operations while filming.

The accusations leveled by Brandon Sigüenza & Patty O’Keefe suggest that #DHS is employing similar tactics in #Minneapolis & #StPaul as it did during the crackdowns in #LosAngeles, #Chicago & #NewOrleans. Federal officers are again using roving patrols, #WarrantlessArrests & aggressive tactics such as spraying #ChemicalAgents, breaking car windows & recording #protesters, including #ReneeNicoleGood & her vehicle in the moments before an #ICE officer fatally shot her.
According to organizers & an #ACLU lawsuit, #immigration officers have also been #surveilling #activists who have been observing their activities in the #TwinCities, violating their #FirstAmendment rights. And Sigüenza, who like his friend O’Keefe is a #US #citizen, said an immigration officer who questioned him Sunday even offered him money or legal protection if he gave up the names of organizers or neighbors who are in the country illegally.

Surrendering to #Trump and capitulation is a failure...
But Tariffs are also a way to try force people to sell out (their country - e.g. saying tariffs will be put on Brazilian coffee if they don't accept US anti-circumvention laws - so those countries (all of them) give in and take on #US pressure.

The crypto industry's bet on Trump is collapsing in real time.
Charles Hoskinson—Ethereum co-founder and Cardano creator who vocally supported Trump in 2024—now says Trump made US crypto "worse than under Biden." He's demanding Trump's crypto czar resign and claims he personally lost $2.5B.
What happened?
• Trump's $TRUMP memecoin crashed 80%, destroying bipartisan support for legislation
• The CLARITY Act (crypto's key regulatory bill) is stalled in Senate
• Most crypto tokens fell 40-50% since Trump took office
• Record government shutdown paralyzed Congressional work
The irony: crypto leaders courted Trump expecting a boom. Instead they got memecoins, political toxicity, and legislative gridlock.
Hoskinson's assessment is devastating: "We thought the government would pump our bags. Instead they pulled a rugpull scam on us."

A fascinating and horrifying read (I often fail to read long articles through to the end, but this one had me gripped).
En passant, it claims #ICE recruiters are keen to enlist people who are already LEOs; does that hamper operations in regular police services (or does it improve them, by removing the dodgier officers?).

Thompson had originally set out to investigate the #shooting in partnership with the #Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, a #state agency that reviews #police #shootings. Snr #DOJ officials “overruled” the decision to cooperate with the state agency.
Drew Evans, the superintendent of the bureau, called Thompson’s departure a major setback for the effort to root out fraud in the state & for #PublicSafety.

“We’re losing a true public servant,” said Mr. Evans. “We really need professional prosecutors.”
“The absence of a credible & comprehensive investigation into Ms. Good’s killing stands to “undermine trust in our #PublicSafety agencies,” Mr. Evans added.

6 Prosecutors Quit Over Push to Investigate #ICE #Shooting Victim’s #Widow
Joseph H. Thompson, a career federal prosecutor who was the acting #USattorney for #Minnesota last year, was among those who resigned as the #DOJ sought to examine the woman’s supposed ties to activist groups.

6 federal prosecutors in #Minnesota resigned Tuesday over the #DOJ’s push to investigate the #widow of a woman killed by an #ICE agent & the department’s reluctance to investigate the #shooter….
Joseph H. Thompson, who was second in command at the #USattorney’s office & oversaw a sprawling fraud investigation that has roiled Minnesota’s political landscape, was among those who quit Tuesday, acc/to 3 people with knowledge of the decision.
Thompson’s resignation came after senior #DOJ officials pressed for a #criminal “investigation” into the actions of the #widow of #ReneeNicoleGood, the #Minneapolis woman killed by an #ICE agent Wednesday.
Thompson, 47, a career prosecutor, objected to that approach, as well as to the DOJ’s refusal to include #state officials in investigating whether the #shooting itself was lawful….
#Trump #law #murder #ExtraJudicialKillings #RightToProtest #UseOfForce #PoliceBrutality #CivilRights #ICE
The other senior career prosecutors who resigned include Harry Jacobs, Melinda Williams & Thomas Calhoun-Lopez. Mr. Jacobs had been Mr. Thompson’s deputy overseeing the fraud investigation, which began in 2022. Mr. Calhoun-Lopez was the chief of the violent & major crimes unit.
Mr. Thompson, Mr. Jacobs, Ms. Williams & Mr. Calhoun-Lopez declined to discuss the reasons they resigned. The #DOJ did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
…After #ReneeNicoleGood was shot, the #DOJ decided to forgo a #CivilRights investigation that would establish whether the #ICE officer’s use of #DeadlyForce was justified. That decision led several career prosecutors at the department’s civil rights division in Washington to resign in protest, MS Now reported Monday.

Depuis la fin décembre, l’Iran s’embrase. Des manifestations massives émaillent les quatre coins du pays, parties du bazar de Téhéran et construites en réaction à une profonde crise économique et politique qui lamine le pays depuis plusieurs années. Un mouvement qui s’est particulièrement accentué dans la nuit du 8 au 9 janvier, à l’appel des principaux groupes d’opposition, et qui ne semble pas décélérer depuis. Acculé, le régime répond par le sang, plusieurs centaines de morts sont déjà recensés par des ONG, avec la crainte qu’il soit question d’encore beaucoup plus. Le tout sous l’œil cynique des diplomaties occidentales, qui n’en sont pas à leur coup d’essai.

Breaking | Trump Announces 25% Tariff on Countries Doing Business with Iran
U.S. President Donald Trump declared that any country engaging in trade with the Islamic Republic of Iran will face a 25% tariff on all business conducted with the United States.
Trump described the order as “final and conclusive,” signaling a hardline approach toward nations maintaining economic ties with Iran.

"Nordic governments are rejecting U.S. President Donald Trump’s assertions that Russian and Chinese vessels are operating near Greenland, warning that the claims are not supported by intelligence and are fueling destabilizing rhetoric, the Financial Times reported on Sunday.
Two senior Nordic diplomats with access to NATO intelligence briefings told the FT there is no evidence of Russian or Chinese ships or submarines operating around Greenland in recent years, directly contradicting Trump’s justification for U.S. control of the Arctic territory.
“I have seen the intelligence. There are no ships, no submarines,” one diplomat told the paper.
Trump has claimed that Greenland is “covered with Russian and Chinese ships” and argued that the U.S. must take control of the island for national security reasons — rhetoric that has intensified in recent weeks."

"I gotta be honest, I’m not feeling so great.
Renee Good was murdered in our streets of America, and we got literally storm troopers running around terrorizing.
I can’t pretend all this crazy stuff isn’t happening. We have a president who says laws don’t apply to him.
And we could rely on his morality, but he has no morality.
This is crazy.” - Mark Ruffalo

“We are at the beginning of the end of the fossil fuel economy. The U.S. is betting on the wrong horse.”
The perfect kicker quote for this important front-page NYY story:
#Venezuela : des médias intoxiqués par la propagande de guerre
https://www.acrimed.org/Venezuela-des-medias-intoxiques-par-la-propagande
Non, #Maduro n'était pas "à la tête du cartel Los Soles" : celui-ci n'a même jamais existé
Non, il n'y a pas eu "zéro mort" mais environ 80, dont des civils
Non, ce n'est pas une "capture" ni une "arrestation", le mot correct est "enlèvement" ou "kidnapping"
Tout ça, c'est l'intox de #Trump
Des #médias qui reprennent & amplifient des éléments de propagande, voire qui s’esbaudissent devant la puissance de feu trumpienne & l’enterrement du droit international : le bilan n’est pas glorieux pour le journalisme, loin, très loin même, de jouer son rôle de contre-pouvoir.
"So, about all that Venezuelan oil. Although President Trump has declared that America’s oil companies will soon “go in” to Venezuela and “spend billions of dollars” to rebuild that country’s petroleum industry, the administration is making two huge assumptions. First, that unleashing Venezuelan oil would yield lower energy prices for American consumers and giant profits for American companies. Second, that unlike previous administrations, which got bogged down for decades in failed nation building in Iraq and Afghanistan, Trump can simply let great American companies do what they do best—drill, baby, drill.
But my conversations with several oil-industry veterans and energy analysts indicate that the administration has the situation precisely backwards: Restoring Venezuela’s oil industry is completely unrealistic in the short term, and might not be in America’s economic and geopolitical interests at all. “Trump seems locked in the world of the 1980s and ’90s, when the U.S. imported most of its oil from a handful of foreign sources,” Arnab Datta, a lawyer who specializes in energy markets, told me. “But today, America is the world’s biggest oil producer. The play for Venezuelan oil doesn’t make a whole lot of sense for the new world we’re in.”
Although some oil executives who met with Trump at the White House yesterday expressed a vague interest in doing business in Venezuela, Exxon Mobil CEO Darren Woods offered a blunt warning about the country. “Today,” he said, “it’s uninvestable.”"

”We have embedded a…US military surveillance company whose founder is a close ally of…Trump into the heart of our military at a moment in which the US is threatening to invade our NATO ally, Greenland. … The level of understanding in UK politics and media about Silicon Valley’s alliance with Trump and the geopolitical and security consequences of this appears to be non-existent.”

So by comparison... ICE sounds sadly like an other "highly trained" police force.
Sexual assault at ICE detention centers under the Obama admin were so common that ICE tried to claim its not their responsibility to police their detention center staff and contractors.
Many of these cases stem from a ICE center opened in 2014 under Obama but didn't go to trial until the 1st Trump admin.
This is bipartisan and systemic abuse with police forces.

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.
They’ve had their necks kneeled on.
They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.
At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

"Maya Angelou’s words spring to mind: 'When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.'
Vance has told us plainly that he’s a liar who is willing to fabricate narratives and spread misinformation in order to draw political attention to a matter. That means whenever Vance goes before the cameras, we should start from the assumption that he’s out once more to 'create stories.'”
~ Jay Kuo
"When a society begins to treat lethal force as an ordinary instrument of governance, it has already surrendered something essential — not only justice, but imagination. It can no longer envision safety without coercion, or authority without threat. Violence becomes thinkable. Then acceptable. Then routine.
We keep saying: This is not who we are. But is that true anymore?"
~ National Catholic Reporter
"It is as if our very souls have left us. Values once spoken aloud — restraint, accountability, the sanctity of life — now feel quaint, even suspect. Our vice president, who considers himself a committed Catholic of solid standing, calls the ICE shooting a tragedy of the victim's 'own making.'"
"A nation does not renew itself by force. It renews itself when enough people decide that moral exile is unacceptable — and that dignity, once reclaimed, must be defended in public.
We are, finally, at the crossroads — the one we all knew was coming long before Minneapolis.
What remains unknown is which direction we will take."
“A leading Catholic paper [National Catholic Reporter] has branded JD Vance a ‘moral stain’ and accused the vice president of having a ‘twisted and wrongheaded view of Christianity’ for his comments on a woman killed by ICE.”
