Think of the 3.5 percent goal, or 11.5 million people, as the political equivalent of the four-minute mile. It might seem impossible, but it’s actually quite possible.

On the fifth anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, the official plaque honoring the police who defended democracy that day is nowhere to be found.

among other things, you can't just *give* the Nobel prize to someone else. that's not how it works
WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.
“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.

A Nobel Prize, a Bruised Ego, and the Danger of Letting Trump Run the World
If U.S. policy toward Venezuela is being shaped by Donald Trump’s resentment over a Nobel Peace Prize he didn’t control, then the problem isn’t strategy—it’s his fitness to wield power at all.

Trump has pretty much abandoned the lie that regime change in Venezuela was about drug trafficking, but Republicans in Congress still seem committed to the bit regardless.

President Trump’s raised prices with his tariff taxes, shut down the government, allowed healthcare costs to skyrocket — meanwhile he’s sending your tax $ abroad to bail out Argentina & wants to “run” Venezuela to help his buddies in the oil industry.

This shouldn’t surprise anyone. He also decided to raid Venezuela because Maduro was dancing on TV.
He doesn’t make decisions based on the reality on the ground - he makes decisions based on his ego. Always.

Insanity: Sources close to the White House told the Washington Post Trump lost interest in backing Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado to lead the country because she accepted her Nobel Peace Prize rather than demanding it be given to Trump, which was viewed as an “ultimate sin.”
