They didn’t just NOT give Trump the Nobel Peace Prize, they wrote a citation that reads like an anti-Trump rallying cry.

(He’s gonna extra-tariff Norway now, isn’t he?)

'When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognize courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist,' the Norwegian Nobel Committee said as it announced Maria Corina Machado as the winner of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize

I just signed legislation that will improve the FAIR Plan’s claims-paying capacity and help Californians recover from the impacts of disasters.

We’re building on years of work to combat the national insurance crisis and strengthen our home insurance market.

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 13h

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law.

Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois.

And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

BREAKING: Republican Governor of Oklahoma comes out blasting deployment of National Guard from Texas to Illinois. Calls it a violation of States' Rights. MAGA and Trump are increasingly isolated on this -- as they should be. We will not stop until this insanity ends.

Rogan on Trump’s cruel mass deportations, racially profiling non-criminals and ripping apart families: “This is crazy. That shows no heart. You’re not gonna get any reasonable people to go along with that. Any kind person would go ‘this can’t be the only way to do this’.”

“Oklahomans would lose their mind if Pritzker in Illinois sent troops down to Oklahoma during the Biden administration.”

It’s very sad that Gov. Stitt can say this obviously true thing but @GovBillLee wouldn’t in a million years.

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..

ALT text: There is no organization called "antifa." Antifa stands for anti-fascism. WWII veterans were Antifa because they fought fascism. Anyone who is against fascism is Antifa. There is no membership card. Anyone can be Antifa. Everyone should be Antifa. Antifa.

I booked a photo session tonight bc I have very few pictures of my family together, but while I’m smiling & holding my children, I know I will hear this mother’s screams.

I don’t want my tax dollars supporting ICE agents dragging parents away from car line. And most moms in the US agree with me.

Friendly reminder that we have been here before and BiBi changed his mind so Biden and Harris would somehow look bad and MSM projected that propaganda so independents jumped ship.
