It’s hard to award the Nobel Peace Prize to a guy that maybe brokered a temporary peace deal after he ordered 500 tons of nutrient rich biscuits destroyed instead of saving the lives of desperate, starving babies.

I like how they gave the Nobel Prize to someone fighting for democracy in Venezuela, instead of someone sinking fishing boats off their coast.

The widespread media decision to frame international affairs as "will Donnie get the prize he wants?" is pathetic. He's not the protagonist of human events. And to the extent he's a significant character in world affairs, whether or not he gets a prize is one of the least important things about it.

Those of us who were saying #abolishICE for the past decade knew what we were talking about

Anyone else find it suspicious that the clearly deteriorating Donald Trump is having a "routine yearly checkup" at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center *6 months after* his last "routine yearly checkup" at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center? www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-w...

And another....

Most Russians don’t know Putin is a dictator—because he controls the news media. Same thing is happening with legacy and mainstream news media in the U.S.

I really could not believe that yet another republican is guilty of pedophilia. Yep. They are the party that runs around screaming "Religion must be taught in schools to bring back morals!" They wear giant crucifixes, and constantly say "God Bless ..." then they commit hideous crimes. Not normal.

Hi. I’d like to report a deranged and delusional man in the White House who’s inciting violence and represents a danger to public safety. Can law enforcement please handle this matter?

Chicago and Portland showing us how it’s DONE!!

The degree to which Daboll is running Dart is making me a little uncomfy!

Amen, brother!

Chicago welcomes its new guests. #ProudBlue

Republicans saying “criminals” are not entitled to Due Process, is insane. Upon accusation, is quite literally the moment you become most “entitled” to it.

So brilliant!

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show. She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms. (Published June)

"What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid."

Once again, ANTIFA means Anti Facist! It is a concept, not a group or organization. An anti-facist is a person who doesn't want power concentrated into a person or group, like Kings/Queens or monarchs. We want democratic rule. Got it? #SheShed #DefendersofDemocracy

Stephen Miller said something he was not supposed to say out loud. He said Trump had "plenary authority," which is the same complete and absolute power that Hitler had. We now know exactly what we're up against. We are facing the same fascist threat as German citizens in 1933.

Gov Pritzker!!! Say it loud. Say it often. Speech!

Lindsey Halligan entered this as “AUSA” — presumably because no Assistant US Attorney will go along with this. The form is unsigned and undated.

I think Halligan is failing to give all the info. Which is why Comey has said he’s filing a motion to dismiss on abuse of the grand jury process. I’m guessing though.

Important thread from Rep. Clyburn.

Important discovery fight taking shape in Kilmar Abrego Garcia's criminal case. The question: Can the government assert privilege to avoid handing over documents that may be relevant to a defendant's vindictive prosecution claim? Abrego's counsel says no. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

We’re watching an entire political party actively protect the single most infamous sex-trafficking operation of our time. This isn’t just silence—it’s complicity at the highest level.

🗞️Today's NYT reporting: "Trump said this, then Trump said that. Trump did this, and then Trump did that. Trump did that, and now Trump's doing this. Trump wants this, now Trump wants that." NO JOURNALISM NO CONTEXT NO FACT-CHECKING They basically just takes notes for the MF'er, and print it.

Extortion is Trump's MO.

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command. The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.

I feel like a broken record, but I have to keep saying it over and over again: a farmer bailout won’t do much of anything because the market is gone. There will be no incentive to plant next year. The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.

If you liked fivethirtyeight, here is a very worthy replacement.

High school students hoping to attend California State University will soon be admitted automatically under a new law — as long as their grades are good enough to get in.

I look forward to Trump lawyer Lindsey Halligan being disbarred.
