Guess who didn't get a Nobel Peace Prize?

Trump told Netanyahu to finish the job while he planned seaside hotels. You don't get a peace prize for encouraging genocide and then working (some) to stop it.

Joe Walsh @walshfreedom.bsky.social · 1d

So the Nobel Peace Prize was given to someone who fights authoritarianism and was not given to an actual authoritarian.

Makes sense to me.

Where are Republicans in Congress??? They need to speak up and take action. Trump's enablers must all be removed.

The enormous wealth grab by the top 1% at the expense of the vast majority of people is at the heart of many of our current problems. Thomas Jefferson warned that this would destroy the nation. Republicans are making it worse.

Federal investigation into the death of convicted sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein was marred by significant lapses, including the failure by investigators to interview potential witnesses, properly preserve certain evidence and run basic forensic tests.

In cell where Jeffrey Epstein died, a scene of disarray that never underwent thorough inspection, experts said

Photos of Jeffrey Epstein's cell show a scene of disarray that never underwent a proper inspection, according to experts.

This is what happens when law enforcement becomes a campaign prop.

This isn’t security; it’s terror under a flag.

No democracy survives when its government starts treating citizens like enemies.👇

There is no insurrection. There is no crisis. If he invokes the Insurrection Act it is an effort (another effort) at a coup. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

Trump administration officials seriously discussing invoking Insurrection Act, sources say

A decision isn't expected to be imminent, one source said, but debate within the administration has shifted recently to more deeply exploring how and when the act might be invoked.

Johnson continues to lie as he protects a pedophile and rapist. The vast majority of Republicans are apparently fine w/ that.

NN: Dems say you won't swear in Grijalva bc you don't want her vote on Epstein

JOHNSON: No. It's scheduling

NN: But there have been Rs sworn in during pro forma sessions

MJ: Only reason was bc they flew in their family

NN: So if she flies in her family you'd do it?

MJ: Again, it's a distraction

Every Republican in Washington knows that this is Trump's letter. They are covering for a pedophile and rapist.

Does he use the words and phrases in that birthday letter to his pal Jeffrey? You decide.

Republicans in Congress and the Administration are protecting a pedophile and rapist. In the midst of a shutdown, Johnson won't allow a new member to be sworn in because they would have to vote on releasing the files....
