June 27 was one of the darker days of Trump’s second attempt at destroying the United States . . . while forcing non-wealthy Americans into inescapable poverty, permanent disability, incurable disease, suffering in a dangerously overheated climate, and, ultimately, shoving them into an early grave.

Mark Kelly: "This is not surprising. Here's a guy who told Americans to inject bleach into their bodies, who sent a mob to Capitol Hill. And now I think it's fair to say he stands out as singlehandedly destroying more wealth with his bad decisions than anybody else who has ever lived on this planet"

This is what you call two different readouts of the same meeting. Go Denmark, Go Greenland!
The post by Marco Rubio
Met with Danish Foreign Minister Rasmussen in Brussels today to talk about the defense priorities shared by our two nations. We discussed the importance of increasing burden sharing within NATO and addressing threats to the Alliance.
A post by Lars Løkke Rasmussen

Honest and direct meeting with @SecRubio yesterday. I made it crystal clear that claims and statements about annexing Greenland are not only unacceptable and disrespectful. They amount to a violation of international law.

The guy lied (puiblicly) at least 30,000 times during his first term -- and the media still take everything he says at face value. They cannot be that stupid -- therefore, it is intentional.

Fair Vote Canada 🗳️🍁 @fairvote.ca · 03/02/2025
🚨 BREAKING: 68% of Canadians want to make every vote count! 🚨 A new poll confirms overwhelming support for proportional representation. Will the next Liberal leader listen? 📢 Make your voice heard! Tag your MP, share this post & demand action! Read more here: www.fairvote.ca/03/02/2025/n...
A data visualization graphic titled "Which voters back proportional representation?" shows the results of a national poll conducted by EKOS Research. A large circular chart indicates that 68% of Canadians support proportional representation, while smaller charts display support levels by party: 72% of Liberal voters, 54% of Conservative voters, 83% of NDP voters, 87% of Green voters, 74% of Bloc voters, and 77% of PPC voters. The chart uses green for support, red for opposition, and gray for "don't know." The EKOS logo appears in the bottom left, and the website www.fairvote.ca/prpoll2025 is displayed at the bottom.
