For those saying “oh but the cabinet are all sycophants.” Yes. We know.
It’s called PRESSURE. You pressure the system until something gives. Micro cracks in the wall until some bricks start to come loose.

The 25th Amendment must be invoked by the cabinet. I’m all for pressuring them. Congressional Dems should lead the charge. Not on Bluesky or Threads. Let’s do it.
Invoke the 25th Amendment.

My Republican colleagues must take notice:
The U.S. cannot base foreign policy on whether or not a president gets a prize.
This is pathetic.
It is petty and dangerous narcissism — behavior we might expect from a spoiled child, not the leader of a democratic nation.

Breaking News: President Trump told Norway’s prime minister that one reason he’s pushing to acquire Greenland is because he didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Denied Peace Prize, Trump Tells Norway He’ll Push for Greenland
In a text message, President Trump told Norway’s prime minister he no longer felt obliged to “think purely of Peace” and that the world would not be secure until America controlled the island.

Let's remember that MLK was assassinated while in Memphis supporting African American sanitation workers who were, despite CNN's weird definition, actually members of the working class.

It's been one month since the deadline to release all of the Epstein files. The Trump Justice Department has released less than 1% of all the files.

Yet another example of the idiocy of the Supreme Court’s immunity opinion: If Trump invades Greenland, even for the most insane reason (like not winning the Nobel Peace Prize) and against our obvious national interest, it’s an “official act” that can never be held legally accountable

Good point. Trump has convinced his cult that he is “America First.” He is Trump First - and that means seeking out corrupt leaders around the world to do business with who run the kind of oligarchic regimes that he envies. Nothing he does overseas benefits average Americans.

Never forget that billionaires spend billions to convince you that voting doesn't matter. Don't help them. Voting isn't the ONLY thing we can do, but it is the most powerful check on the executive. "Don't bother voting because there'll be no free elections" is oligarch propaganda.
