My mother and me. Berlin 1974. I was raised by patriotic Americans who despised dictators and bullies. They taught that there is absolute right and absolute wrong. They taught us to fight for the struggling and the weak against the mistreatment of the privileged and the strong.

We are now witnessing the dismantling of independent scientific oversight. The President has terminated, without reason, multiple members of the National Science Board, the independent body that guides NSF and advises Congress and the President on U.S. science policy.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський
No one could have imagined that decades after Chornobyl – after everything countries have done to ensure radiation safety and protect lives – someone would want to turn Chornobyl, the facilities that remain here, and the Exclusion Zone itself into a territory of war. And the worst thing is that when the Russians came to Chornobyl, it became clear that they had absolutely no understanding of where they had come and what this place was. This is important to understand about today’s Russia – about this state, about what remains of their culture, and about how they treat people, how they treat life as a whole. The Russians tried to advance on Kyiv through this territory and seize the capital. They dug military positions here in restricted forests, drove military equipment across this land, deployed artillery here and fired from this area, destroyed equipment, and abused our people who work at the Chornobyl plant and associated facilities. Some of our Ukrainian servicemembers, including those from the National Guard of Ukraine who were guarding the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant, are still, unfortunately, in captivity in Russia. From an address marking the 40th anniversary of the Chornobyl disaster (1/3)

@AdamKinzinger There are no allies, only aligned interests. We’re not aligned on Russia.

STUBB: Most credible security guarantee Ukraine has right now is 800,000-strong armed force and capacity to conduct modern warfare unlike any other NATO member state. Tide has actually turned. We Europeans have to understand we need Ukraine more than Ukraine needs us. They know how to do this thing. On peace agreement, I just don't see Putin changing his mind. I was optimistic for few months, but it ended up being classic Russian delay tactic.

A significant shift in global atmospheric wave patterns is forecast by June as El Niño strengthens and rising air intensifies across the Pacific. This is when the ocean-atmosphere system is expected to become coupled, signaling the onset of El Niño-like weather patterns.

January 9, 2026 (at a White House meeting with oil executives): “We are going to do something on Greenland whether they like it or not.” “I would like to make a deal, you know, the easy way. But if we don’t do it the easy way, we’re going to do it the hard way.” January 12, 2026 (aboard Air Force One): “One way or the other, we’re going to have Greenland.” March 2026 (Oval Office, ahead of Vance’s visit): “We’ll go as far as we have to go.” The White House also formally stated that “utilizing the U.S. Military is always an option” when asked about Greenland.

These would be great points if any of them were true, but they're not and that's a problem for your claim. Show me the quote where Trump expressly threatened Denmark with war over Greenland? I'd wait, but that would require waiting forever because Trump never made any such express threats. Instead, like a good businessman, he simply stated that all options are on the table while attempting to negotiate a price to purchase Greenland. But, if you want express threats, look to Europe. For example, Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen of Denmark publicly confirmed that Danish troops in Greenland have standing orders to "shoot (Americans) first and ask questions later" and Tillie Martinussen, a politician from Greenland, used the metaphor of a dog that needs to be put down when referring to the US. Those statements, for example, are far far more threatening than anything Trump has ever stated. So the only ones who have encouraged Putin and Xi, with regards to Taiwan, is Europe. Imagine being Putin or Xi watching Europe not only waffle, but actively work against the US by denying bases and airspace regarding US operations against the brutal Islamic Republic's regime in Iran.

Trump has insulted and tariffed his European allies, persuaded Denmark to prepare for a US invasion and, by pressuring Ukraine and not Russia, encouraged Putin to keep fighting. All of which he has forgotten. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/03/…

The Secretary of Defense has the legal right to fire these Flag Officers, but it is not morally right nor wise. Further, he owes an explanation to the tax paying citizens.

Dear President @ZelenskyyUa, we meet at a dangerous moment. Russia’s war against Ukraine continues. And a new war has captured the Middle East. Both wars are very much interlinked. In the face of this, we stand together. My opening remarks in Kyiv ↓

The way to end this war is to confront Moscow, not reward it. Not to loosen sanctions, but to harden them. The 20th sanctions package is ready to go. We will tighten the net further, especially around Russia’s shadow fleet. And we must also deliver the €90-billion-loan. My press remarks with @andrii_sybiha

@NATO is a defensive alliance. It’s not a gang designed to have members’ backs when they pick a fight.
