”There’s no operational reason to physically concentrate America’s entire military leadership in one room. What makes the Nazi parallel particularly striking isn’t just the summoning itself – it’s the pattern.”—Zev Shalev, Hegseth’s “Warrior Ethos” Cover Story Unravels; Pentagon Insiders Reveal True Message: "Get on board, or potentially have your career shortened."https://www.narativ.org/p/hegseths-warrior-ethos-cover-story#usa #pentagon #hegseth

“The question isn’t whether these trades violate every principle of public trust—they do. The thief is inside the house, we keep calling 911 but no-one is answering the call. Trump has turned market manipulation into policy. The few extract billions while the economy hemorrhages. And it continues because the mechanisms meant to prevent exactly this corruption have been captured or eliminated.”—Zev Shalev, Trump's Billion Dollar Crypto Rug Pullhttps://www.narativ.org/p/trumps-billion-dollar-crypto-rug#trump #crypto

“The Wall Street Journal has dropped reporting that doesn’t just poke holes in Trump’s story—it documents an operational system inside Trump’s own business that sent young women directly into Jeffrey Epstein’s orbit. Not socially. Not accidentally. At work. At Trump’s club. Under Trump’s authority. …Trump trafficked women and young girls to Epstein and others out of Mar-A-Lago for years.”—Dean Blundellhttps://deanblundell.substack.com/p/the-wsj-blew-up-trumps-epstein-lieand#trump #epstein

”We do not want to be rich like Americans. Look how greedy they are, even trying to invade their friends. Even if there are minerals and oil under our land…we still would not sell ourselves. We know what happened to Indigenous people in Alaska and Native Americans. … We see who Trump surrounds himself with—white power people—and we are not white. We are people of color. We know our rights would likely be taken away.”—Tillie Martinussen, Former Greenland MP#trump #greenland

History Facts: ”…the Norwegian Nobel Committee is not the same thing as the Norwegian government, and neither of them is Denmark… Trump did not, in fact, end eight wars… Greenland has been Danish for centuries… many “written documents” establish Danish sovereignty there… Trump has done nothing for NATO…” —Heather Cox Richardson, January 19, 2026https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/january-19-2026#trump #nobelpeaceprize #norway #denmark #greenland #nato

”In just a year…Trump has torn apart the work that took almost a century…to build. Since World War II, generations of world leaders…created an international order designed to prevent future world wars. They worked out rules to defend peoples…from the aggressions of neighboring countries, and tried to guarantee that global trade…would create a rising standard of living that would weaken the ability of demagogues to create loyal followings.”—Heather Cox Richardson, January 19, 2026#trump

”We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done. A superpower is [dying by] suicide because the [Republican] Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King. This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.”—Garrett Graff, journalist#trump #usa #republicans #geopolitics

“The post–World War II rules-based international order prevents authoritarians from grabbing land and resources that belong to other countries. But…Putin, for example, is eager to dismantle NATO and complete his grab of Ukraine’s eastern industrial regions. Trump has taken the side of rising autocrats and taken aim at the rules-based international order…”—Heather Cox Richardson, January 19, 2026#trump #putin #usa #russia #ukraine #greenland #nato

“Trump’s increasing frenzy is likely coming at least in part from increasing pressure over the fact the Department of Justice is now a full month past the date it was required by law to release all of the Epstein files. Another investigation will be in the news as well, as former special counsel Jack Smith testifies publicly later this week about Trump’s role in trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election.”—Heather Cox Richardson, January 19, 2026#trump #epstein

“Trump’s fury over the Nobel Peace Prize last night was likely fueled as well by the national celebration today of an American who did receive that prize: the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. The Nobel Prize Committee awarded King the prize in 1964 for his nonviolent struggle for civil rights for the Black population in the U.S. … Trump did not acknowledge Martin Luther King Jr. Day this year.”—Heather Cox Richardson, January 19, 2026#trump #nobelpeaceprize

“…[Stephen] Miller is erasing the genius of the generations before us. It is not the U.S. that has kept the world safe and kept standards of living rising: it is our alliances and the cooperation of the strongest nations in the world, working together, to prevent wannabe dictators from dividing the world among themselves.”—Heather Cox Richardson, January 19, 2026#stephenmiller #usa #europe #nato

“Sales are down, yearly revenue is down for the first time ever, and quarterly profits fell by a whopping 61 percent… That gives it a price-to-earnings ratio of 297—a ludicrous figure… The most immediate cause of Tesla’s sales problems is Musk’s political activities. …Musk’s unmasking as a Nazi salute–throwing fascist has obliterated Tesla’s futuristic green-friendly brand. … But Tesla’s problems run much deeper than that.”—Ryan Cooperhttps://prospect.org/2026/01/30/teslas-wile-e-coyote-moment-is-here/#tesla #musk #elonmusk

“The…Cybertruck can now be concluded to be a total flop—one of the worst in the history of American automaking. While Musk boasted of a supposed two million preorders, Tesla sold just 39,000…in 2024, and…20,000 in 2025.”—Ryan Cooper#cybertruck #tesla #musk

“Where once Tesla had the EV field in America mostly to itself, there is now increasingly stiff competition. … BYD is now the undisputed king of EVs, outselling everyone by a large and growing margin. Its technology is better, and its prices are much lower.”—Ryan Cooper#tesla #byd
