Huge mistake. Democrats going all in on gerontocracy. 77 years old today. Would take her seat at age 79. Insane egomaniac.

Maine Gov. Mills will announce challenge to Sen. Collins in key 2026 Senate contest, AP sources say

Trump might not have gotten the prize, but it went to a far-right Trump supporter who welcomes US military intervention in Venezuela and supports Trump's unlawful attacks on small boats in the Caribbean. It seems the Nobel Prize Committee was rattled by Trump's belligerent rhetoric.

A lesson here is elected Democrats should not engage with the Trump administration unless legally required to so engage. It's like dealing with Kim Jong Un. Every interaction with Trump (or Kim) is cast as a Trump (or Kim) victory and an admission that Democrats are liars. Don't fall into the trap.

This is a war for the truth as much as anything.

Tweet from Acyn that says: “Noem: I was in Portland on Tuesday, met the governor, met with the mayor, met with the chief of police. They are all lying. Dishonest people.” Below, a Fox News broadcast shows Trump leading a cabinet meeting at the White House with several officials around a long table.

Awarding the prize to Machado is almost like giving it to Trump by proxy. She is a Trump worshiper and supports his murderous attacks on boats. She is a right-wing conservative who Trump would be happy to see running Venezuela.

Troubled by how many imagine Machado is a great hero because she's not Trump. She's a hard right former coup sympathizer who calls for military intervention & destruction of socialism. Her opponent, Maduro, is an awful dictator. That doesn't make her a dream, anymore than not being named "Trump."

The Nobel Peace prize going to Maria Corina Machado isn't the slap down of Trump some people think it is. She's a darling of the Trump administration who supports Trump's extrajudicial murders of the occupants of small boats he thinks are drug smugglers.

His administration has given full-throated support to Ms Machado – a free-market, small-state conservative – hailing her as a “freedom fighter”. Marco Rubio, Mr Trump’s secretary of state, has described her as the “personification of resilience, tenacity and patriotism

Thiel doesn't say the words, but his lectures seem to argue Jesus Christ is, in fact, the Antichrist. He's devoting his life and his billions to mobilizing Christians against the teachings of Christ as laid out in the Sermon on the Mount and pretty much all of the gospels.

Inside billionaire Peter Thiel’s private lectures: Warnings of ‘the Antichrist’ and U.S. destruction

In leaked recordings of private lectures by tech billionaire Peter Thiel he argued that “the Antichrist” is likely to take the form of a critic of technology.

Anyone who opposes Trump and who has ever filled out a tax return or applied for a mortgage is now subject to indictment by this utterly corrupt banana Republic president and attorney general. The descent to being a s*ithole nation has been fast and devastating.

Republicans have made a deliberate choice to replace the system of government that, after 249 years, made the USA the most powerful & wealthiest nation in the world (albeit very imperfect) with a system of government that has always failed and always destroyed the nations adopting it. Insanity.

RFK and MAHA falsely paint vaccines, "big pharma", and the medical research establishment as villains who are killing Americans. Meanwhile, Trump is doing all he can to to get America hooked on coal, again. But coal really does kill Americans. And in really big numbers.

USA conservatives, in fact, are working hard to infuse religion into every aspect of American life. But only if that religion is Christian, deeply conservative, misogynistic, and fully aligned with the MAGA agenda.

The totalitarian nightmare is here. No need for troops to occupy every city. Massive federal police forces, the total cooperation of the ruling party, and a loyal Supreme Court have ushered in a dictatorship. Cooperative red state governments, police forces, and national guards are icing.
