Some hilarious mental health breakdowns right now in a House committee on DOGE oversight. This guy (Rep John Larson - D-CT) is screaming and raging like a lunatic with a beat-red face. He's going to have a GD stroke! Watching on Fox Live Now...

Greenland’s center-right Demokraatit party pulled off a surprise victory in the country’s parliamentary elections, taking Greenlandic Prime Minister Múte Egede’s party, Inuit Ataqatigiit, out of power. Independence from Denmark became a focal point of the election amid President Donald Trump’s repeated talk of the U.S. taking control.
"People want change ... We want more business to finance our welfare," said Jens-Frederik Nielsen, Demokraatit's leader, according to Reuters. The outlet added that Nielsen said Greenland does not "want independence tomorrow" and would prefer separation from Denmark be based on a "good foundation."
Earlier this month, Trump brought up Greenland in his address to a joint session of Congress.
"We strongly support your right to determine your own future, and, if you choose, we welcome you into the United States of America," Trump said, eliciting laughter from the crowd. "We need Greenland for national security and even international security, and we’re working with everybody involved to try and get it… One way or the other, we’re going to get it."

As far as Greenland reporting, is there a non-partisan unbiased news agency anywhere that will report just the news. Most things I looked at were talking about the election but opined "Trump threats". I don't want to hear about Trump unless it is a quote from an interviewed Greenlander that wasn't prompted with a leading question.
I'm guessing the answer is a big NO but if there is, I may want to follow it for all my news

Just because they pass a spending bill, the money has to be
appropriated 1st. before a check is cut! Also, guaranteed DOGE
will see them too.

Well we know that funds were being disbursed by unelected officials before and as such who ever is running USAID or whatever department I would assume would be headed by a Trump appointed person would disburse the money. USAID is under Rubio now. I assume Rubio would not allow money to fund a study of gay transvestite cross-dressing lizards in the Sahara desert. Also, even if foreign aid is appropriated a judge has no control regarding where the foreign aid goes. Therefore IF the aid MUST BE disbursed then the Trump appointed person could/would disburse it to a worthy cause. For example, to Panama to get the Chi-coms out of there, etc.

So there are a number of RINOs complaining there are NO earmarks in the budget CR. And the freedom caucus isn't in agreement with Massie. Strange, very strange.

What happens when a country realizes it has no functioning judicial system?
How long does it take before people think … “WTF if they can do it I can too” ?

All the Democrats are complaining that their earmarks are not in the budget and that is why they are not voting for it.

It's my understanding that by passing the continuing resolution bill those in the majority now have a vehicle within reconciliation to determine specifically the priorities for funding. I'm not an expert on this but hopefully this means that the garbage projects will receive little to no funding. We would need to wait to see what the RINOs want to cry about versus what the freedom caucus wishes the funding to look like. I have no doubt the RINOs will try to pull some sort of shit and maybe this is what Massie is concerned about.
