Trump will rail at Maria Machado, rail at Norway, whine, bitch & no doubt take Maduro’s side. We will never hear the end of it.

But while he is distracted the Dems need to reach out to her and ask her to consult for them.

Prof Christina Pagel @chrischirp.bsky.social · 23h

A powerful speech on the Nobel Peace Prize but I suspect it will send Trump into a frenzy today. Especially the pointed remarks about democracy and integrity.

Please can she coach the Dems in the USA?

Congratulations to Maria Corina Machado, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize - her incredible optimism has already changed her country. I spoke to her, and wrote about her, at the beginning of this year:

The ‘Anthropological Change’ Happening in Venezuela

Maduro is still in place, but a pro-democracy movement is transforming the beleaguered country.

Oh boy, I wouldn’t argue with her !!

New York Attorney General Letitia James @newyorkstateag.bsky.social · 1d

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Totally unbelievable.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

The UK’s independent scientific bodies are highly vulnerable to politicisation - over the past 5 months I've been working with @martinmckee.bsky.social to map out their vulnerabilities and it's not good news.

Today our report is published!

How do you square this with a guy who is on the brink of achieving a ceasefire in Gaza?

I can only presume that he is only interested in getting the Nobel Peace Prize, not saving the lives of Gazans.

Prem Thakker ツ @premthakker.bsky.social · 2d

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

Waking to the news of a breakthrough in the Israel Gaza conflict, I am obviously delighted for the Israeli families who are set to get their loved ones back and for Gazans who should get a respite in the horror of their lives, but will it really lead to peace?

Professor Martin Griffiths - a trauma surgeon testifying to the “biblical destruction” he found in Gaza on #Channel4News is very impressive.
Compassionate, articulate, calm. Goodness me it’s so encouraging to listen to someone like that.

Hmmm do you think it might be linked to the thing that caused the size of the civil service to explode, that she also railed against?

I’m laughing hysterically as she points out all of the things that the Tories destroyed!
