Summary

Trump declares victory on Greenland without actually winning anything. Just hours after a chest-thumping speech at Davos, he unveiled a so-called “framework”—later a “concept”—for a future deal, claiming it was enough to pause the European tariffs he’d been threatening. Jessica Tarlov and Aaron Parnas (@aaronparnas1) break down the fallout from Davos—rattled allies, spooked markets, and plenty of smoke with little substance—before turning to Democrats’ brewing 2028 primary calendar fight: who goes first, what it signals about the party’s future, and whether a diversity-first strategy still makes sense without an incumbent. Plus, Vance heads to Minnesota to stoke tensions at an ICE resistance flashpoint and RFK Jr. hits the road with a wellness tour that feels a lot like a campaign.
