I Wonder How Greenland Will Greet The VP's Wife. Snowballs?

Greenland’s people are bracing for another visit from U.S. President Donald Trump’s inner circle, with second lady Usha Vance set to travel to the autonomous Danish territory this week as her husband ratchets up talk about U.S. security and “territorial” interests in the vast Arctic island coveted by the administration.

Greenland’s prime minister warned Sunday of “American aggression” and lamented a “mess” caused by the upcoming visit from Vance, who will be accompanied by Trump’s national security adviser and energy secretary. The same day, Vice President JD Vance — her husband — blasted Denmark for “not doing its job” and “not being a good ally.”

Another diplomatic first (& not in a good way): the prime minister of Greenland calls a visit by the U.S. second lady and high level officials “highly aggressive”. Greenland and Denmark say they did not invite this U.S. delegation. - Christiane Amanpour, CNN

Bill Hemmer of Fox News said that while Elon Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency” is causing “pain” in some areas, Americans will be grateful for the results.

Since President Donald Trump took office, Musk – a White House adviser with billions in contracts with the federal government – has been making critical personnel and spending decisions at various government agencies. The moves have prompted a series of lawsuits challenging their legality.

More bad news for Tesla came out this week, with a recall announced for nearly all Cybertrucks manufactured so far because a steel panel could come unglued — creating a potentially dangerous road hazard if it happens while the vehicle is being driven.

Right when it was starting to be deemed a terrorist attack to try and take Cybertrucks off the road, every Cybertruck just got taken off the road in a recall because they used the wrong glue on the panels. - The Serfs

The Justice Department is in the midst of an urgent and chaotic effort to review sensitive materials from the FBI investigation into the convicted sex offender and financier Jeffrey Epstein, with Attorney General Pam Bondi pushing the FBI and her own department to release more files from the case amid continued pressure from President Donald Trump's supporters, multiple sources told ABC News.

As many as a thousand FBI agents, many of whom are usually focusing on national security matters, have been enlisted to help with the effort, sources said.
