It’s an attention economy. Get some or go home.
Democrats’ entire congressional caucus must march on the White House to demand a halt to Donald Trump’s turning the United States back into a 19th-century-style imperial power. Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries standing behind lecterns and condemning Trump’s actions in Venezuela for cameras or for a gaggle of reporters conveys impotence, dessicated 20th-century thinking, and a failure to recognize that ours is an attention economy.
Get some or go home.
(I wrote that last night to both.)
Trump’s inner circle has designs for turning our democracy into a thugocracy and overturning the rules-based order of the last eighty years.

European leaders issue joint statement defending Denmark and Greenland
The leaders of France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, Britain, and Denmark have just issued a joint statement on Greenland saying the Arctic territory belongs to Denmark.
“It is for Denmark and Greenland, and them only, to decide on matters concerning Denmark and Greenland.”
The statement does not directly refer to the US but emphasises the importance of adhering to international law and UN Charter principles of respecting sovereign territory and borders.
