Who in their right mind believes statements from the Department of Homeland Security?

Who believes anything Kristi Noem or Stephen Miller or Trump might say about what has just happened in Minneapolis?

They no longer have any credibility. That should be clear by now.

They lie like they breathe.

Hero murdered by ICE

Hero murdered by ICE

The man who was murdered by ICE today was killed for filming them and more importantly protecting a woman from being attacked, he used his body to shield her.

They murdered him for protecting her. He was a hero. #3E #GoodvsEvil

Another murder by immigration enforcement in my district.

I am absolutely horrified that federal agents are targeting and executing our residents instead of protecting them.

ICE and CBP must leave Minnesota immediately. Kristi Noem must be impeached. Enough.

This is the "gun" that Trump, Noem, Bovino, and every other administration official claims the victim was brandishing that justified him being pushed, tackled, shot, and killed.

A phone.

American threats toward allies as the Trump administration pushes to acquire Greenland put the U.S. in a camp with β€œpredators,” Finland Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen has told POLITICO.

She explains why that’s a β€œlose-lose position” in our live blog πŸ‘‡

This is worthy of a celebration.

πŸ“ˆ More profits for all EU member states
βœ‚οΈ More economical independence from US & China
🀝 More international cooperation

And no, our stores & supermarkets will not be selling produce from South America exclusively.

Mercosur is a win-win situation. 🌐

The world no longer respects the US. The US is a danger to global stability and politics. Only far-right supporters and dictators still respect Trump & the US.

The question of punching back against Trump is so sensitive that it is kept away from the mainstream European debates.

But five insiders have confirmed to POLITICO that the topic is being discussed privately across the continent.

French President Macron hints at the possible air defense system that Greenland may be provided: ''The SAMP/T next generation is a largely French and European system, the best in the world. It is more effective than the [US] Patriot system.''

A political infographic from Volt asking, "Do Greenlanders support becoming part of the USA?" It features two semi-circle charts:

The first chart shows that 85% oppose joining the USA, while 6% support it (Source: Verian, 2025).

The second chart emphasizes Volt's position on "Who should decide the future of Greenland," showing 100% Greenlanders and 0% Donald Trump.

A political infographic from Volt asking, "Do Greenlanders support rejoining the EU through a referendum?" It features two semi-circle charts:

The first chart shows 60% support for rejoining the EU and 40% opposition (Source: Nasiffik, 2024).

The second chart reiterates Volt's stance that the decision-making power belongs 100% to Greenlanders and 0% to EU leaders.

A purple graphic with bold white text that reads: "THE FUTURE OF GREENLAND BELONGS TO GREENLANDERS!". Below the main heading, it states, "The EU must defend Greenland, whether it is part of our union or not". The bottom features a call to action: "Let’s build a federal Europe together. Join Volt," followed by the Volt logo.

A protest crowd is visible. One person holds a sign reading β€œThey kill us in your silence,” with red paint resembling blood splatters. Text overlay reads: β€œProtests in Iran” and β€œIRANIANS ARE FIGHTING FOR THEIR RIGHTS. IN EUROPE, WE MUST STAND BY THEM.” The Volt logo appears in the top right corner.

Trump is creating a dictatorship in the US. He's the same as Putin. US citizens should rise up and end this idiot's reign. He must be stopped before he plummets the world into a third world war.

Motions of no-confidence about Mercosur - politicians are weaponizing this deal to get the support of local farmers without knowing what Mercosur actually is and does. Extreme right (and extreme left) parties are threatening stability all over the EU.

Non-EU agriculture won't be able to fully flood our supermarkets with cheaper produce, it will however get some form of a foothold within the European market. In exchange for that foothold, the EU will get easy access to certain minerals and resources (like lithium) otherwise barely available to us.

Do not mistake a resilient global economy for populist success Protectionism is failing to revive manufacturing

It is true that protectionism has not yet derailed growth. But industrial policies and tariffs have also failed in their central aim: arresting the decline of manufacturing jobs
