what booker is doing right now is an example of what i mean when i say things like “we need more ambition right now.” there is room in american politics right now for people with ambition to take big stands and reap the rewards. he’s doing it!

If Ed Martin thinks he is Trump's lawyer, he needs to resign because he clearly did not understand the words of the Oath of Office. If he can not understand the words of that oath, he is obviously unqualified to make any legal judgements whatsoever.

Why are Trump & Musk so fixated on Greenland? It’s not just about its strategic location—it’s the minerals. As Greenland’s ice melts (climate change) it’s exposing cobalt, lithium & copper (key for EV batteries).Their interest looks less like America first & more like exploiting crisis for profit.
