“Despite ending dozens of imaginary wars and getting nominated by a war criminal, MAGA’s prince of peace came up short in his very public bid to acquire the Nobel Prize, which he only wanted because they gave it to the guy who’s made him feel small and inadequate for over a decade.”

Scene at the White House after it was announced that the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to a courageous Latino woman, not to a lazy nepo baby.

A corrupt politician gave bribes to a terrorist group. The terrorists eventually attacked the politician’s country. The corrupt politician had to get help from his pal, another corrupt politician, to stop him from committing all-out genocide.

That’s the argument for Trump’s Nobel Peace Prize.

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 winner of the Nobel Peace Prize is everything Trump hates. A woman who stands up to powerful and corrupt men and demands that people have the right to vote in a democracy. Bonus Trump-hate points that she’s Latino.

Congratulations María Corina Machado! #FDT

ICYMI: Speaker Mike Johnson is second in line to the presidency, but he wants you to know he has no opinion on anything and takes responsibility for nothing. His go-to line is “not in my lane.”

Without ACA subsidies, a couple in Peabody, MA earning $85,000 a year could see their monthly health care premium increase from $892 to $2,096.

Republicans shut down the government over this and want families to pay thousands more.

Democrats want to keep insurance costs low.

When the Nuremberg trials begin for the MAGA and ICE orcs it’s going to be very difficult to fill out the jury survey without writing in “I’m generally opposed to the death penalty but terrorists, especially domestic terrorists, deserve the maximum sentence possible.”

Paul Ingrassia, Trump’s nominee to lead the office investigating Jack Smith, has recently been investigated for harassing a colleague, Politico reports.

“Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him..”

In late July, Paul Ingrassia, the White House liaison for the Department of Homeland Security, arrived at a Ritz-Carlton in Orlando with a lower-ranking female colleague and others from their department. When the group reached the front desk, the woman learned she didn't have a hotel room.
Ingrassia then informed her that she would be staying with him, according to five administration officials familiar with the episode. Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him, three of those officials said.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

Voting isn’t the solution unto itself, but it’s critically important at the local level.

There will be 52,000 elections held next month alone, and many will be determined purely by turnout.

You know what to do.

While the Democrats are standing strong on healthcare for ALL Americans, the Republicans are standing strong on protecting Donald Trump and their billionaire friends from the consequences of the release of the Epstein Files.

The parties are the same.

Turning Point USA is a domestic terrorism organization, and unlike "Antifa," it's an organization that actually exists, with leaders and funders and members and everything—people who can eventually all be tracked down and prosecuted for their crimes.
