The United States: Where We Can Buy Greenland But Can't Afford Groceries

This week: NATO threats, depression-era meals, and a timeline of authoritarianism that reads like dystopian fiction...except it's all real.

Robin breaks down Trump's Greenland obsession and the threat of military action against our own NATO allies. Eight European countries are getting tariffs because they won't help us invade Denmark. When Emmanuel Macron is comparing you to Putin, maybe it's time to reassess.
Meanwhile, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins (net worth: $15 million) wants you to know you can feed yourself for $3...just eat one piece of chicken, one piece of broccoli, one tortilla, and "one other thing." Groceries are up $310 per year for American families, but have you tried eating less? Marie Antoinette energy.

In Minneapolis, over 2,500 people have been arrested in the largest ICE operation in American history. Schools are closed. The National Guard is mobilized. Masked federal agents operate without ID. And on January 7th, ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot and killed 37-year-old Renée Nicole Good...a mother of three, poet, and school board member. She was called a "domestic terrorist" within hours. ICE blocked a physician from helping her as she died. Now the DOJ is investigating her widow, not the shooter. Six federal prosecutors have resigned in protest.

Also covered: Trump "joking" about canceling elections, the Department of Labor posting Nazi-adjacent slogans, the Insurrection Act being threatened against American protesters, a death in ICE custody ruled likely homicide, and why 31 Nobel laureates just warned that "the signs of fascism are here."

Plus: why three Yale historians who study fascism for a living just moved to Canada, and what it means when a new Democracy Index says we've "slid well into authoritarianism."
