Nobel Prize Committee makes MAJOR Trump announcement
The Norwegian Nobel Committee and the Norwegian Nobel Institute are putting the kibosh on Venezuela opposition figure María Corina Machado’s latest gambit to suck up to Donald Trump. Machado, who has gone out of her way to praise the president for violently kidnapping Nicolás Maduro and his wife in the dead of night, recently floated the ingratiating notion of "sharing" her peace award with the vainglorious narcissist. Not so fast, sayeth the Nobel folks, who issued a joint statement over the weekend stressing that once a prize is awarded, the "decision is final and stands for all time." Tsk, tsk. Don't fret, Donnie. If you squint hard enough we bet your super special FIFA peace prize looks *almost* as cool.

Trump pretends he doesn't "know anything about" DOJ attack on Federal Reserve
Donald Trump's ghouls at the DOJ have launched a formal investigation into the Federal Reserve, a move Chairman Jerome Powell described as an "unprecedented" attack on the institution's independence. True to form, the MAGA cult leader played dumb when asked about the investigation, declaring, "I don't know anything about it, but he’s certainly not very good at the Fed, and he’s not very good at building buildings." In an uncharacteristically blunt clapback on Sunday, Powell — whom Trump appointed in 2017 — accused the investigation of being politically driven. "The threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the Federal Reserve setting interest rates based on our best assessment of what will serve the public, rather than following the preferences of the President." This ship is officially entering uncharted waters, folks.

Bitter winter heaps new hardships on the women and girls of Gaza
UNFPA: A shaky ceasefire is in place, but 700,000 menstruating women and girls that live in the cramped displacement camps of Gaza are still facing desperate shortages of the most basic necessities — and a bitter winter looms. 10 million menstrual pads are needed every month, but less than a quarter of that is available to ease the indignity and discomfort of Gazan women. UNFPA is leading a drive to provide 2,500 Dignity Kits to women and girls in Gaza, making sure they have menstrual products, soap, toothbrushes, and clean clothing so they can live with dignity, even in the darkest of times. Each kit costs just $15 to produce – Will you chip in to ease the suffering of some of the world’s most vulnerable women?
MAGA accounts share fake, AI image of ICE shooting
The "Don't Tread on Me" crowd sure is going way out of its way to defend the very real treading by heavily armed, masked-up federal agents on innocent civilians, including sharing obnoxious and easily debunked AI slop. Huh, cognitive dissonance much?
Take Action: Tell Congress: It’s time to defund ICE!
Lindsey Graham urges Trump to kill "modern-day Hitler" in Iran
Having apparently learned zero lessons from America's catastrophic, post-9/11 forays into nation building in the Middle East, the sabre-rattling, South Carolina neocon made it crystal clear on Sunday that he wants Donald Trump to violently enact regime change in Iran — a sovereign country of 90 million — where nationwide protests against the country’s rulers have left more than 500 protesters dead. "If I were you, Mr. President, I would kill the leadership that are killing the people," Graham barked on Fox News. He argued that forcibly removing Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, whom he characterized as a "modern-day Hitler," would put an end to Iran’s "state-sponsored terrorism" across the Middle East and somehow bring about the stability and harmony that has eluded the region for literally hundreds of years. Quick reminder: neocon adventurism in the Middle East earlier this century cost the United States TRILLIONS of dollars and nearly 7,000 US military deaths, so, yeah, color us just a wee bit skeptical on this harebrained scheme ending with everyone wearing Lindsey's signature, shit-eating grin underneath repurposed "Mission Accomplished" ball caps.

Trump bizarrely posts that he's the "acting president of Venezuela" on Truth Social
Wait, does this make Donald the de facto head of the deadly, narco-terrorist network flooding American streets with phantom fentanyl? And, uh, any chance a foreign power out there might wanna conduct an audacious, midnight raid to apprehend this clear and present threat to global order and extradite him to The Hague for criminal prosecution? No? It was worth a shot.
US will have Greenland "one way or the other," says Trump
America's imbecile-in-chief just won't quit with his imperial land-grab fantasties, telling reporters aboard Air Force One that "one way or the other, we are going to have Greenland." Trump preposterously upped the stakes with a false choice, declaring, "If we don't take Greenland, Russia or China will, and I'm not letting that happen." Real quick: Greenland is a part of the Kingdom of Denmark. Denmark is a founding member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Any attempt by Russia or China to "take" the autonomous island would amount to an invasion of a NATO ally and effectively trigger World War III, so, yeah, no. The MAGA cult leader's latest provocations came ahead of Sec. of State Marco Rubio's much-anticipated Wednesday meeting with Danish and Greenlandic leaders. Gonna make for awkward small talk at that particular table!

Trump threatened to primary GOP senators who voted for war powers resolution in "angry" calls
Hours after the Senate voted to advance the war powers resolution rebuking the White House’s current and future actions in Venezuela, Donald Trump placed “angry” calls to each of the five Republicans who dared to cross the aisle — Josh Hawley, Lisa Murkowski, Rand Paul, Susan Collins, and Todd Young — and vowed to unseat them with primary challenges. To get by in today's GOP, you serve a party of one; loyalty to Donald is all that matters, and dissent is unforgivable.
Trump says he may veto extension of Obamacare subsidies
While cruelty lies at the heart of nearly every decision the MAGA cult leader makes, this one is also driven by Herculean vindictiveness for all things Obama.
