A key NATO ally is pushing back hard against President Donald Trump’s renewed push to seize Greenland, accusing him of fabricating claims that China poses an imminent threat to the island. Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen and Greenland Foreign Minister Vivian Motzfeldt told U.S. officials that Trump’s assertions about Chinese military interest were false and unacceptable, noting intelligence shows no Chinese warships near Greenland for years. The officials said alliance ties with Washington do not translate into U.S. ownership, directly rebutting Trump’s insistence that American control is necessary for national security as he continues to escalate his rhetoric online.

President Donald Trump demanded that Greenland be placed under U.S. control, claiming the Arctic island is essential for national security and accusing NATO of failing to act. Trump warned that if the U.S. doesn’t take Greenland, Russia or China will, and dismissed the territory’s prime minister after he reaffirmed Greenland’s desire to remain part of Denmark. The president has repeatedly pushed to acquire Greenland since 2019, framing it as critical to U.S. military power and strategic dominance.

Stars and Stripes, the U.S. military newspaper protected by Congress as an independent publication, is screening job applicants on their support for President Donald Trump’s agenda after political questions were quietly added to applications on the USAJobs platform, according to reporting by the Washington Post. The paper’s ombudsman confirmed applicants were asked how they would advance Trump’s executive orders, a move she said directly conflicts with journalistic ethics and the outlet’s legally mandated autonomy. Editors and former staff said the questions would have raised serious concerns about impartiality, while officials blamed the Office of Personnel Management and insisted the responses were optional. Critics warned the episode threatens the credibility of a publication relied on by service members and their families for objective reporting.

President Donald Trump kicked off Tuesday by calling for the mass expulsion of Somali immigrants and reviving a long-debunked conspiracy theory targeting Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), amplifying claims from a far-right outlet alleging suspicious overseas cash transfers tied to Somali communities. Posting on Truth Social, Trump demanded that Somali immigrants be “thrown out” of the country and again falsely accused Omar of marrying her brother, a smear that has circulated for years in MAGA circles despite repeated reporting finding no evidence to support it. Trump has increasingly singled out Omar, a former Somali refugee and U.S. citizen, while broadening his attacks to the wider Somali-American community.

A top Trump aide ignited outrage Tuesday by asserting on Fox News that Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers enjoy sweeping federal immunity while performing their duties, a claim amplified by the Department of Homeland Security amid intense scrutiny of ICE’s role following the fatal Minneapolis shooting of Renee Good. White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller told host Will Cain that anyone who tries to stop or obstruct ICE agents, including local officials or protesters, would be committing a felony — a statement legal experts quickly disputed, noting that federal officers do not have blanket immunity and can be prosecuted if they exceed lawful authority, and that state and federal courts retain the power to hold them accountable.

During a wide-ranging interview with CBS News in Detroit, President Donald Trump raised fresh concerns about his view of presidential power, suggesting that courts and even the Constitution would not ultimately constrain him if he believed he was acting in the country’s best interest. Speaking with Tony Dokoupil while visiting Michigan for an address to the Detroit Economic Club and a stop at a Ford plant, Trump downplayed judicial checks by asserting alignment between his goals and what courts would want, comments that come as his administration pushes aggressive legal and political efforts ahead of the 2026 midterms, including moves involving voter rolls and Republican-backed redistricting.

John Kennedy offers a series of blunt insider anecdotes about Washington, including a strikingly candid portrayal of fellow Republican Lindsey Graham. Kennedy — known for his folksy critique of political elites — paints Graham as a deeply hawkish, hard-drinking wild card on foreign policy who might just as easily “get drunk and vomit in the fish tank” as engage in serious debate, underscoring both the South Carolina senator’s reputation for military aggression and unpredictable behavior that has become fodder for Washington gossip.

A Department of Homeland Security whistleblower has allegedly released the personal information of about 4,500 Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol employees to an activist database in what may be the largest personnel data breach in the agency’s history, with the fallout tied to outrage over the fatal ICE shooting of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis. According to reports, the leaked dataset — shared with the volunteer-run ICE List project — includes names, work emails, phone numbers and job roles for thousands of frontline agents and supervisors, prompting concerns about safety, internal dissent at DHS and the risks of exposing federal law-enforcement personnel to public scrutiny.

President Donald Trump’s expanding use of presidential pardons is eroding morale inside the Justice Department, according to more than a dozen current and former federal prosecutors who spoke to The Washington Post. By granting clemency to high-profile figures ranging from disgraced ex–Rep. George Santos to reality TV stars, Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht, and hundreds of Jan. 6 defendants, Trump has undone years of investigative and trial work, prosecutors said, leaving many questioning whether accountability still matters. Career officials described the pardons as a gut punch that nullifies jury verdicts, vacates restitution for victims, and wipes away painstakingly built cases, including complex financial prosecutions. Even some Trump supporters inside law enforcement said they were baffled by certain pardons, arguing that they appeared to be based on misleading lobbying rather than the facts of the cases.

The column emphasized that while Miller craves power and aims to inspire fear, he is ultimately still just a man, urging critics to confront his dangerous influence with both vigilance and ridicule.

Julia Brownley’s vacated 26th District seat, raising alarm over his shocking rhetoric and poor judgment.
