Maksym Butkevych, the Ukrainian human rights activist, was held in Russian captivity for more than two years. I had the pleasure of listening to his thoughts about freedom a couple of times recently.

Trump Says Greenland Is Vital for U.S. National Security The president’s comments came hours ahead of a meeting between U.S. officials and foreign ministers of Greenland and Denmark.

Top officials from Denmark and Greenland said after a visit to the White House on Wednesday that they hadn’t persuaded President Trump to abandon his ambitions to annex Greenland. on.wsj.com/4pE0aMc

Same. That’s standard operating procedure, right?

Germany, other NATO allies sending troops to Greenland amid Trump threats Trump said Wednesday anything less than U.S. control of Greenland would be "unacceptable" in a warning to NATO allies about Arctic security.

NEW and WOW: Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, and Canada are sending troops to Greenland amid continued threats from U.S. President Donald Trump to annex the territory, multiple outlets reported. www.newsweek.com/greenland-ge...

“President Trump is showing symptoms of an addiction to power, evident in his compulsion to escalate claims of dominion over domestic and international adversaries. The size and scope of his targets for subjugation are spiraling ever upward…”

WATCH: The 60 Minutes CECOT Segment I was sent the CECOT segment anonymously in a group chat.

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

Yes, CECOT is a concentration camp in the guise of a prison. The Venezuelans were the first people to *ever* be released from CECOT since Bukele opened the prison in January 2023. Seriously. The first.

January 6 was like a much dumber version of Hitler’s Beer Hall Putsch and yet a plurality of American voters were like, Yeah, let’s give that guy the nuke codes again. An absolutely world historical debacle of societal ignorance. I’ll never understand it.

“When the German nation was, thanks to the inflation instigated and carried through by Jews, deprived of the entire savings which it had accumulated in years of honest work..when we were divested of the whole of our colonial possessions”

If Trump can call for the execution of Congress without fearing being charged, arrested, and prosecuted, there is no law and order in America. This is what John Roberts gave us when he gave Trump absolute immunity.

Trump’s Angry Tirade Calling for “Death” to Dems Just Backfired Badly As Trump’s call for the execution of “seditious” Dems works against him, Rep. Chrissy Houlahan, one of his targets, explains why she and other Dems are warning servicemembers against carrying out ille...

Remarkable: Rep Chrissy Houlahan, one of the Dems that Trump called for executing, tells me her office literally filled out a Capitol Police threat report that listed "the president" as the person making the threat.
