Lindsey Halligan leaving the US attorney’s office is, in a nutshell, the story of someone who was told to stop pretending to be something she wasn’t. It’s not a case of a resignation, a departure, or even a firing. It’s more akin to being escorted out of a building you weren’t authorized to enter in the first place. The crux of the matter is that a federal judge explicitly ordered Halligan to cease using the title of interim U.S. attorney or face disciplinary action. This isn’t a run-of-the-mill personnel move; it’s a legal directive, a very public acknowledgement that her presence in that role was, well, questionable at best.… Continue reading

This includes increased spending on radar systems and a sustained military presence in the Arctic. While Canada continues to engage in joint defense operations with the US and NATO, the future of this cooperation under a potential Trump administration remains uncertain, as evidenced by questions regarding the defense of Canada’s borders.

Recent events highlight the vast cruelty and injustice inflicted by the Republican party, contrasted by the Democratic Party’s ineffective, elitist approach. Democratic leadership, exemplified by Schumer and Jeffries, has failed to inspire voters, hindering efforts to oust Republicans. The article argues that the Democratic party has not learned from its past defeats and should embrace progressive reforms like raising taxes on corporations. Ultimately, the current Democratic leadership represents the unpopular status quo; thus, true progress requires grassroots mobilization and progressive change to counter the GOP and corporate influence within the Democratic party.

House Democrats support for impeaching Kristi Noem is exploding. The situation is pretty clear: Kristi Noem has become a focal point of intense criticism and calls for accountability, and the frustration seems to be reaching a boiling point. The sentiment here is that action is long overdue, and the fact that a Democrat is even considering impeachment is a step in the right direction. It’s perceived as a way to show that, “Hey – this woman is awful and needs to go.” This is more than just political theater; it’s a message to the public.
This push is seen as part of a larger strategy, a rallying cry for voters.… Continue reading

Housing Secretary Steve Reed approved the Royal Mint Court development, despite its proximity to sensitive fibre optic cables near the City of London. The Housing Department’s decision letter stated that national security bodies, including the Home and Foreign Offices, raised no objections regarding cable interference. The government has taken steps to protect cable security, and the development offers national security advantages by consolidating China’s diplomatic sites. MI5 and GCHQ acknowledged potential risks but supported the project with national security mitigations, and the approval includes conditions for the project’s start and protest management.

AkademikerPension, a Danish pension fund, is divesting its entire $100 million holdings of U.S. Treasuries by the end of the month due to concerns about the U.S. government’s financial stability and poor financial condition. The fund will instead invest in U.S. dollars and short-duration debt. This decision follows Moody’s downgrade of the U.S. credit rating. While the move is not directly related to current political tensions, the ongoing friction between the U.S. and Europe, including President Trump’s efforts to acquire Greenland, may have influenced the decision.

Trump on Greenland: We’ll work out something to make US and NATO ‘very happy’… That’s the crux of it, isn’t it? The whole Greenland saga, as bewildering as it seems, boils down to a single phrase. It’s a promise, a veiled threat, and a potential deal all rolled into one. The idea, apparently, is to find a solution that somehow satisfies both the United States and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. But what could that possibly entail, and why is this even a conversation?
First off, let’s be clear. The world is watching, and frankly, it’s a bit perplexed. The notion of the U.S.… Continue reading
Federal prosecutors issued grand jury subpoenas to multiple Minnesota officials, including the governor and mayors of Minneapolis and St. Paul, as part of an investigation into potential obstruction of federal immigration enforcement. The subpoenas seek records related to public statements made by these officials. The probe is focused on the possible violation of a conspiracy statute, with officials, such as Mayor Frey, characterizing the investigation as a political tactic. The Justice Department has pushed back against state efforts to halt immigration enforcement operations in the area, arguing that such actions are “legally frivolous.”
