I believe most people today are so caught up in the “material world,” the world we live in, see and experience, that we forget there’s a whole other realm out there — just as real as the material world, but one we, as human beings, are unable to see with our eyes. I’m talking about …

TRUMP-LAND?: Plans for Greenland outlined as Trump's cryptic response feeds frenzy before Davos

Progressive Democrats have signaled opposition to an effort to avert a fresh shutdown of the federal government, saying the newly released funding bill does not go far enough to reform U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Congressional negotiators on Tuesday released a roughly $1.2 trillion spending package intended to fund most of the federal government and avert a shutdown when temporary funding expires on January 30. The measure bundles a dozen appropriations bills into a single text and is scheduled to move to the House for floor action this week.

A crowd turned out to hear a politician talk big about improving schools, but it wasn't a Republican railing about transgender athletes or school vouchers or any of the issues the GOP has used to put Democrats into a defensive crouch. On this night, the politician taking questions was a Democrat — former Chicago mayor and President Barack Obama's chief of staff Rahm Emanuel — talking about reading. For the past several years, Republicans have dominated the education debate with a focus on culture war politics. Emanuel, who is exploring a 2028 presidential run, makes the case for returning to the education part of education: achievement and learning rather than book bans and gender identity.

President Trump is apparently serious about wanting Greenland for the United States. What once sounded like an opening gambit in a negotiation increasingly looks like a deeply held conviction, one that Mr. Trump has publicly underlined by refusing to rule out the use of force. Europeans are serious about this too, however. Assuming that Europe would quietly accept a takeover of Greenland by the United States and then move on would be a mistake. The recent assertion by President Emmanuel Macron of France that his country would stand in solidarity with Denmark against an attack on Greenland's sovereignty and for the deployment of European troops to the island are only the most recent indications of this growing resolve.
