NEW: @potus letter to @jonasgahrstore links @NobelPrize to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials: Dear Ambassador:   President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state] “Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”

Spain’s Prime Minister imposes a full embargo on Israel: “Bombing hospitals and starving innocent children is not self-defense.” “It is not even war.” “It is the extermination of a defenseless people, and the destruction of every principle of human rights.” 🇪🇸 🇵🇸

This is Portugal: • No wealth or inheritance tax • 40% cheaper than the UK or US • Home to Europe’s first crypto-friendly bank Previously a dictatorship, it’s now one of the most peaceful countries in the EU. Here are 8 reasons why Portugal should be on your radar: 🧵

The IDF have now targeted and hunted down 242 Palestinian journalists in Gaza. This compares to 69 journalists killed in World War II and 63 killed in the Vietnam War. Why are Western leaders silent in the face of this appalling slaughter of the last witnesses of Israel's genocide?

Since we passed the Affordable Care Act, Republicans have tried over and over to repeal it. And over and over, they’ve failed — in part because millions of people now depend on the ACA for quality, affordable health care. Now Republicans are trying something different: quietly weakening the law and hoping you won’t notice. We can’t let them.

Israel just assassinated the entire Al Jazeera crew in Gaza: fearless journalists and cameramen reporting the truth amid genocide. This is a war crime and a crime against humanity. Where are the Western journalists? Will they condemn this, or choose silence and complicity?

Now this could get interesting. There's a huge scandal breaking in France involving bottled water which isn't as pure as you might think. "The problem was that under EU law, "natural mineral water" – which sells at a huge premium over tap water – is supposed to be unaltered between the underground source and the bottle. That is the whole point of it." Does the same thing apply here in the UK @RachSalv? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cyvn…
