Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado won the Nobel Peace Prize, then dedicated it to the people of Venezuela—and Trump. MAGA world is both celebrating and seething over the Nobel Committee’s “snub.”

Nobel Peace Prize Winner Dedicates Award To Trump After MAGA Outcry That He Didn't Win

“We Venezuelans recognize that just as we have given everything in our citizen struggle, the support of our genuine allies has been decisive,” said María Corina Machado.

Red states keep voting for the guy who's gutting their futures. Freeman Health System pulled out of a rural Kansas hospital plan, blaming Trump’s “Big Ugly Bill” for making it impossible. That’s another town left to fend for itself.

A large health system has decided against building a much needed hospital due to Trump's Bill.

Public schools aren’t just buildings. They’re the last strongholds of community in a country that’s been privatizing everything else. Mara Casey Tieken explains how school closures punish the very people policymakers have already abandoned.

Don’t Fall for the School Closure Temptation

A surge of public school closures is hitting rural and urban America alike. Closures save little money but devastate communities.

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

Authoritarians always need a scapegoat. With the shutdown causing chaos, Kristi Noem aired a TSA video blaming Democrats—despite the GOP running the House, Senate, and White House. Critics say it’s propaganda, not policy.

Professors across the US are being fired, harassed, or suspended for criticizing Charlie Kirk—even when they didn’t mention his death. The rightwing outrage machine is back, and universities are caving fast.

When you treat cities like battlegrounds, don’t be shocked when judges treat you like a threat to democracy.
Trump’s effort to federalize the Guard in Chicago? Blocked. Judge called it baseless, Illinois called it authoritarian.

Texas Republicans lied about who drew their new congressional map and when they got it. Turns out it came straight from a GOP operative tied to the RNC. And they covered it up. In court, the excuses are falling apart.

An anonymous Republican says 250 ballots showed up with her Amazon order. She contacted the GOP, not election officials. And somehow the right-wing press had a story ready to go 🤔

Joyce Vance & Preet Bharara rip into the flimsy indictment of NY AG Tish James. Turns out, it’s not even about the house everyone expected. The charges? Weak. The motive? Revenge. Trump’s weaponized DOJ is fully operational.

Musk’s Boring Co. got caught breaking the law nearly 800 times. Nevada could’ve hit him with $3M in fines. Instead? $242K. That’s couch cushion money for a guy worth billions 🤡

Trump's CBP Home app promised immigrants free flights, a $1,000 bonus, and a safe way out. What they got instead: silence, fear, and betrayal. Venezuelan families who tried to self-deport are now trapped in a country that’s hunting them.

You can’t build an industry on immigrant labor and then pull the rug out. But that’s exactly what’s happening in South Dakota. A federal audit gutted a top dairy farm near Noem’s home, and the state has no plan to fix it.
