"Peter Thiel gave money to Donald Trump for his election, and this is Trump repaying Peter Thiel. Trump is basically trying to steal Greenland for a billionaire robber baron backer donor. That's what's going on here. Why is nobody talking about this?"

"It's no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because he himself is a predator." Read more

On Monday, President Donald Trump took a major step by issuing a memo that freezes all federal grants, loans, and financial assistance programs. This move could drastically affect essential services across the country, including early childhood education, food and rent assistance, and support for nonprofits. However, it's the poor southern states"many of which are heavily reliant on these programs"that will likely feel the most severe consequences. Programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which helps feed millions of families, and other forms of housing and medical assistance are critical lifelines in states like Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana.

- - The secretary general of NATO, Mark Rutte, has said that the West is not prepared for the challenges that will come over the next five years and that it's time to "shift to a wartime mind-set." Kori Schake, who directs foreign and defense policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute, writes that while World War III has not begun, "a world war is approaching."
Who runs the world? Political scientist Ian Bremmer argues it's not as simple as it used to be.
