The first veto of the president’s second term killed legislation that would have brought clean water to some of the most conservative parts of the state. Residents wonder why.

Probably because he wasn't bribed to grant the project. Oh well, the tRump voters can die of thirst in that conservative area of Colorado. It's what they wanted by voting for it, and nothing of value will be lost.

Somaliland becomes a pariah after cozying up to a nazi ethnostate. Everyone sees through the Israeli ruse. Everybody loses.

Terry Zink has spent 57 years building a life in Montana’s backcountry. The 57-year-old third-generation houndsman from Marion—a remote town nestled deep within the Flathead National Forest—runs a small archery target business serving outdoor recreation workers and guides who, until recently, had steady employment managing America’s public lands.

Those workers are disappearing. Their jobs are gone. And Zink, who voted for Trump in 2024, is watching his customer base—and his livelihood—vanish before his eyes.

“You won’t meet anyone more conservative than me, and I didn’t vote for this,” Zink told Politico reporters as he surveyed the damage. “You cannot fire our firefighters. You cannot fire our trail crews. You have to have selective logging, water restoration, and healthy forests” (1).

Prime Minister: The Americans are still our most important ally

Despite the current drama between the USA, Denmark and Greenland, the Americans are still the Danes' most important ally.

This is what Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen (S) says.

• Yes, I think so of course, all the while that it was the Americans who saved Europe in the 40s and ended World War II, and because the USA and Europe, together with Canada, have jointly built the strongest defense alliance the world has ever seen, says the Prime Minister.

• It is still NATO, by the way, but there is a conflict over Greenland, unfortunately. It is not only Denmark and Greenland that believe that there is a conflict that is serious for Europe and the USA. We have received massive support from the major countries in NATO.

A small business owner who voted for Donald Trump recently posted a video on TikTok, pleading for help as crushing tariffs on China threatened to bankrupt his operation, which imports alloy wheels. His call for support, however, drew little sympathy from some fellow Americans.

“Votes have consequences,” he was told, with many comments from Twitter/X users relishing the notion that another MAGA voter was suffering because of their political choice. The backlash prompted a second video from the man, in which he dropped several F-bombs while criticizing the apparent heartlessness of those celebrating his hardship.

Britain’s Ministry of Defence said it had provided military help to the US forces that seized a Russian-flagged oil tanker north-west of the British Isles, arguing the operation was legitimate because the vessel had breached sanctions on Iran.

John Healey, the defence secretary, said the UK had allowed US aircraft to use bases to prepare for and carry out the mission, while the RAF had provided extra surveillance and the navy refuelling while the final capture was under way.

Healey said British involvement was justified under international law because the Marinera, which was sailing from the Caribbean Sea towards Russia, had previously been placed under sanctions when it was known as the Bella 1.

“This ship, with a nefarious history, is part of a Russian-Iranian axis of sanctions evasion which is fuelling terrorism, conflict, and misery from the Middle East to Ukraine,” the defence secretary said.

All the warnings fell on deaf ears, huh? Must be service-related hearing-loss.

• Denmark, probably, just learning how gangsterism works (didn't listen to the Global South at all).
