Trump administration has made plans to take Greenland by force if necessary

Trump’s idea to takeover Greenland is ridiculous.

SMITH: Is it policy of the DoD that we need to be prepared to take Greenland by force if necessary?HEGSETH: The American people would want the Pentagon to have plans for any particular contingencyS: I don't think the American people elected Trump because they were hoping we'd invade Greenland

holy shit — GOP Rep. Mike Turner tries to "help out" Hegseth by getting him to confirm that the Pentagon does not in fact have plans to take Greenland by force, but Hegseth instead more or less testifies that yep, they have devised plans for that

Trump’s attacks on the national parks

I asked the Interior Secretary FOUR times in the span of a minute to confirm how many park superintendents have left. No answer. Reports indicate there are nearly 100 sites across the U.S. with vacancies — and the agency’s reckless approach is creating dire consequences.

Park Service suspends air-quality monitoring at all national parks

Long lines and canceled rentals: Firings bring chaos to national parks

The Department of the Interior is requiring the National Park Service to post signage nationwide by June 13, asking visitors for feedback on any information they feel misrepresents American history.

Amidst all the other shit, don't forget that these MAGA fucks are also erasing the history of this country in order to quite literally whitewash it. Check this out: censoring national parks and telling the public to whine if something makes them sad.

The National Parks are in Donald's crosshairs now. It began with logging National Forests and now extends to eliminating National Monuments. Nothing is sacred.

So…in 2011 the Justice Department confessed error to the Supreme Court that it had misrepresented the factual basis underlying the rationale presented to the Court to justify Japanese internment. As in, that is the official position of the U.S. government. Are they going to retract that, too?

The public doesn’t support proposed Republican Medicaid cuts

A new Quinippiac poll shows that a majority of Americans are opposed to Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act.Almost half of all voters think Medicaid funding should be increased, not decreased.https://trib.al/whpLGfS

A new Quinnipiac University poll found that just 10% of Americans support cutting Medicaid.But last month, nearly every House Republican voted for the largest Medicaid cut in American history.

Slashing Medicaid is DEEPLY unpopular, but Republicans are willing to do it to give tax breaks to the richest of the rich. #SaveMedicaidKillTheBill

Another example of Trump defying a court order

Who will enforce the order?

Who will stop Trump? He will continue to defy court orders if he gets away with it.

Update – the judge is now letting them detain him on a new charge. He should have been released earlier.

A Trump administration official has told lawyers for Mahmoud Khalil that the government has no immediate plans to release him, in spite of a judge’s order barring his detention on the grounds for which he was originally arrested. nyti.ms/4465JKP

Crucial new analysis from @budgetlab.bsky.social taking CBO’s distributional analysis and including the impact of tariffs.The combined effect of the “big beautiful bill” and Trump’s tariffs has the bottom 80% losing on average, the 9th decile flat, and only the top 10% better off.

NEW FROM CBO: brutal distributional analysis of House GOP "Big Beautiful Bill"On avg the bottom 30% of households get poorer under the GOP billAvg gets little – and are worse off if you include tariffsThis'd be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in history

New JCT analysis of the House-passed budget reconciliation bill is out.Under the GOP plan, more tax cuts go to millionaires than the entire half of America combined.This graph shows just the tax side. Include the Medicaid & SNAP cuts (which we'll get from CBO soon), & it's a cut for the poorest.
