mad king moment from the PBS Newshour correspondent
NEW: @potus letter to @jonasgahrstore links @NobelPrize to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials:

Dear Ambassador:
 
President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state]

“Dear Jonas: 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. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and 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, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”

In a normal America, we can all agree that a major threat to our national security is the radicalization of young men and conspiracies that drive them to violence. But that would mean acknowledging the threats and also talking about right-wing extremism, which is the #1 domestic terror threat.

I've been researching the idea of Unconditional Universal Basic Income since 2013. Here's a collection of findings I've compiled from various UBI experiments and studies of cash transfer programs around the world. This will be a VERY LONG and ongoing thread focused entirely on empirical evidence. 🧵
OBSERVED EFFECTS OF UBI

No significant reduction in labor supply (38 studies meta-analysis)

Increased self-employment (301%) and part-time employment (17%)

Slight decrease in alcohol and tobacco use (31 studies meta-analysis)

New mothers extend their maternity leaves

Birth weights improve due to better maternal nutrition

Graduation rates and educational outcomes improve

Hospitalization rates decline (8.5%)

Crime goes down (15%–42%) especially illegal hunting (95%)

Domestic violence decreases (30%–51%)

Trust increases (13% in politicians | 6% in other people)

Home ownership rates increase (17%–26%)

Food security increases as does consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables

Improved cognitive functioning (43%) and personality traits (31%)

Savings go up, debts go down

‘Something doesn't smell right in this story.’ 🎁 www.nytimes.com/2025/03/04/o...
Imagine Trump was trying to sell a Trump Tower to a Russian - let's call him Vladimir — and Trump brought along his banker. What would Trump think if, before the negotiating began, his banker proclaimed, "Donald, you have no cards, we've just cut off your line of credit, and before we even let you start negotiating to sell this building, you need to take out a second mortgage on it and give me all the money."
That is exactly what Trump did to Volodymyr Zelensky. Something doesn't smell right in this story. I don't know where it ends, but I think I know where it starts: When it comes to the defense of liberty, Trump does not share the values of the best of his 44 predecessors. …
