“The US and Denmark have announced a deal on Greenland’s security that will be signed next week.
US President Donald Trump said the agreement would grant the US ‘permanent control over security, and all other needs’. Denmark’s Prime Minister said the deal ‘strengthens security in the Arctic and the North Atlantic area’ but did not address specifics in the agreement that Trump mentioned in a social media post. The deal comes after months of threats by Trump to ‘take’ Greenland over national security concerns, citing its strategic location for defence purposes and its mineral wealth.” (09/19/26)

“Inflation is a government failure, a failure to the citizens of America. The government prints money to fund its overspending and takes on debt as a result, which devalues the U.S. Dollar. The government creates the inflation problem, and in 2020, it put fire onto the already burning flame of inflation by flooding the nation with printed money, which created the huge issues that live with us six years later. Printing money and subsidizing everything under the sun is a false cure for our economy; we should be removing the State from manipulating the currency supply.” (09/18/26)

“The U.S. military attacked a boat suspected of being used to smuggle drugs in the Caribbean Sea on Saturday, [murdering] four people, as the Trump administration continues its monthslong campaign against alleged traffickers in Latin America. The latest attack brings the number of people who have been [murdered] in boat strikes by the U.S. military to at least 231 in 69 strikes since the Trump administration began targeting those it calls ‘narcoterrorists’ about one year ago.” (09/19/26)

“Palantir CEO Alex Karp proclaimed on a panel in 2024 that ‘technology should be able to reduce drastically the amount of collateral damage, civilian deaths.’ Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt and former Deputy Director of the CIA David Cohen agreed. Proponents of artificial intelligence use in the military have long made some version of this argument — that the military’s adoption of AI will lead to a reduction in civilian harm. … The question is no longer theoretical, as the U.S. military is already deploying AI. The Pentagon struck 13,000 targets in just the first 38 days of war, aided by Palantir’s Maven Smart System to identify targets and choose weapons used for attacks. But experts at the hearing, hosted by the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission, said the argument that AI reduces civilian harm simply isn’t supported by the facts on the ground, pointing to Iran, Ukraine, Yemen, and Gaza as evidence.” (09/18/26)

“Rep. Lauren Boebert is denying accusations that she engaged in sexual relationships with three of her staffers, as well as paid one of the staffers $200,000 not to file an ethics complaint. A complaint filed with the House Committee on Ethics on Thursday, Sept. 17 and obtained by the Colorado Times Recorder, alleges that the congresswoman, 39, had relationships with three House employees under her direct supervision. … In a statement to PEOPLE, a spokesperson for Boebert denied the allegations, calling them ‘baseless.’ ‘Congresswoman Lauren Boebert rejects these allegations as utterly false and there is no truth to them whatsoever,’ the spokesperson said. ‘This is nothing more than a politically motivated stunt designed to manipulate the ethics process, create headlines, smear her, and generate clickbait.'” (09/20/26)

“Beyond raising foundational questions of individual autonomy versus governmental authority, our relationship to the Highest Authority would also be impacted by the arrival of ET-like creatures. After all, the question of whether other minds exist is also a question about what makes our own minds—and our moral obligations—distinctive. Would other-worldly beings have their own salvific commandments and beliefs?” (09/18/26)

“As we mark 15 years since Occupy Wall Street, it is worth remembering that the movement against inequality has a long lineage. The Gen Z-led protests flooding the streets of India, Kenya, Bolivia, and Tunisia today have been building for generations. On the last day of November 1999, tens of thousands of people shut down the World Trade Organization summit in Seattle. Trade unionists marched alongside environmentalists, students locked arms with farmers, and for a few extraordinary days the people who run the global economy could not get into their own meeting. The press called protesters a rabble with no coherent demand. They were wrong. The demand was simple and it has not changed: an economy that works for the many, not for a handful at the top.” (09/19/26)
