María Corina Machado was awarded The Nobel Peace Prize today, and NEVER said this.

Machado was awarded the prize “for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.”

Trump: "The person who actually got the Nobel Prize called today, called me, and said 'I'm accepting this in honor of you, because you really deserved it.' A really nice thing to do. I didn't say 'Then give it to me, though.'"

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

Tonight I watched a Diane Keaton movie I hadn't seen in decades, Shoot the Moon (easily rentable on various services). She's so remarkable as a mother of four watching her marriage break up--she goes from crushed to liberated to uncertain to furious to resolute in a completely idiosyncratic way.

Re-watching Shoot the Moon in honor of Diane Keaton. Holy hell, what a great movie. And so intense. Really captures that feeling of being in the pressure cooker of a failing relationship. As divorce dramas go, Marriage Story is Pee-wee's Big Adventure compared to this.

Dear WH Press Corp
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Start demanding answers. Portland isn’t on fire. Chicago isn’t at war. Seattle isn’t thanking him.
ANTIFA isn’t assaulting ICE agents
Hold him accountable for the lies.
Refuse to ask anything else until he answers these.
Demand the proof

Republicans are 💯 responsible for shielding the pedophiles they once promised to expose.

Republicans are 💯 responsible for stoking civil unrest across the country. They’ve peddled in inflammatory rhetoric for years, outlawed anti-fascism, weaponized the DOJ, ICE and the National Guard.

Republicans are 💯 responsible for the price hikes in everything. You can thank Trump tariffs.

Republicans are 💯 responsible for the economic uncertainty gripping working class Americans. They’re building an oligarchy and you’re simply an inconvenience that needs to put up and shut up.

Let’s be clear:

Republicans are 💯 responsible for the government shutdown. They don’t need a single vote from Democrats to reopen.

Republicans are 💯 responsible for firing thousands of federal workers. They don’t need a single layoff to offset the shutdown. It’s their Project 2025 playbook.

Also, in direct contradiction to Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins’ claim that mass deportations will make the farm workforce “100% American,” the labor dept admitted Americans won’t take those jobs and don’t have the skills to replace the undocumented workers leaving them. DUH X2.

In a Chicago suburb, ICE GOONS brutally attacked a 15-year-old girl. They forcibly removed her from her car, slammed her to the ground, and then placed their knee on her neck.

A 15 year old boy with autism went missing earlier this week

He was selling fruit with his family in Springbranch when he disappeared

They filed a missing person’s report & begged the public to help find him

Turns out he was in a Houston ICE detention facility

They kidnapped a disabled child!

Live performance of "For What It's Worth" by Buffalo Springfield in 1967. The song was written in 1966 in response to the Sunset Strip curfew riots in Los Angeles. It became an anthem for generational conflict, civil unrest, and later anti-war movements.

"The lyrics are still so relevant."

Republicans declare themselves patriots, then turn around and block the paychecks of the men and women who defend America.

And what’s really wild, some of those same troops keep voting red while getting screwed over again and again.

So now the Administration are saying that the mass firing of CDC scientists, including many responsible for preventing outbreaks, was an “error” and many will be brought back.

Whether by intention or incompetence, dismantling public health will kill people.

Diane Keaton was a true Californian. She was a self-described oddball, uniquely stylish, deeply creative, funny, and an acting legend who could steal the screen in comic and dramatic roles alike. She was in a class all her own, an icon.

When we say “No Kings” this should include the nasty billionaires who use their money to control all media and the government.
