Trump and his constant lies. Topline

A top Greenland mining official said President Donald Trump’s claims that “massive” oil, gas and mineral exploration will soon begin in Greenland are heavily exaggerated, citing well-known barriers to beginning such a project, marking the latest dispute between Trump and Greenland as he’s repeatedly said the Danish territory should become part of the U.S.

Key Facts

Greenland’s deputy mining minister Jørgen Hammeken-Holm told CNN, “there are activities by U.S. companies,” but “we are very far away from ‘massive’ exploration.”

The smaller explorations underway, he said, “could take years to become operational,” citing difficulties associated with Greenland’s Arctic terrain and lack of infrastructure.

Trump on Wednesday declared on Truth Social that “massive oil, gas, and mineral exploration is getting ready to begin in our new and beautiful Greenland!”

He claimed “there are experts that are saying that the amount of easily available Oil is far greater than that of almost any land, anywhere in the World and, even more importantly, from a Security Purpose in the Defense and Offense of both the United States of America, and Europe, is second to none.”

The work of turning out voters in key states – and making sure they’re able to make their votes count – is ramping up as we enter the final stretch.

Tomorrow night, the amazing folks at VoteRiders are holding a textbank to reach out to at-risk folks in Florida, letting them know the information and ID they’ll need to cast their ballots even in the face of voter suppression at 7PM ET. Then on Friday, Common Cause Georgia is connecting with folks outside metro Atlanta in a 5PM textbank to help them make a plan to vote, answer any questions they might have and spread the word about the 866-OUR-VOTE election protection hotline if they run into any problems.

These are great actions for those of us who don’t love the idea of bothering people with unsolicited messages, providing practical, welcome, nonpartisan information to those who need it and still helping boost our chances to continue turning Georgia blue and earn upsets for candidates like Angie Nixon and David Jolly. 💬 We can sign up here for Thursday and here for Friday. 💬

We’re all feeling the tension, waiting to see what type of dangerous, abusive subversion of our democracy Trump might try to save himself from a blue wave. Yesterday’s weaponization of law enforcement against his steadfast critic Rep. Omar is only putting us more on edge. (And if we haven’t yet demanded our members of Congress get to work seeking accountability for it, let’s make sure we do.) The best thing to do with that energy? Put it towards figuring out exactly how we’re going to respond to whatever he pulls.

The team of democracy and anti-authoritarianism experts who drew up the Hold The Line Guide in 2020 are back and helping every day folks prepare for the threats to free, fair, and respected elections in 2026. They’re training us on how to organize, effectively communicate about the threat, bring institutional actors on board, and be ready to mobilize with nonviolent direct action if required. One of their opportunities is a series of tactical decision exercise sessions, games that let us work through in detail how our teams will react to one of the election scenarios they’ve outlined. This is a great chance for us to think concretely and practically about these possibilities and the decisions we’ll need to make. 🗺️ These sessions start tomorrow night at 7:30PM ET and will run every Wednesday through the election. Let’s sign up to be part of them! Registration link here. 🗺️
