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.

I must've missed the One Big Beautiful Bill's budget line for "Occupying Venezuela." Unless he's planning to take a controlling interest in the oil fields he wants to give to Chevron and Exxon/Mobil in exchange for the $500,000+ they gave his campaign.

Mr. Cuban, I'm a professor at Yale School of Public Health. Here's a paper published by one of my colleagues in the top medical journal evaluating the Medicare for All Act, which would not only get us there, but would save $450B per year. Happy to discuss! www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Turns out, the American Revolution was a bunch of rich white men who didn't want to pay a penny of taxes to the government that'd gone broke fighting to secure the rich white men's property rights, so they persuaded the poor to do the fighting. ’Twas ever thus.

Virginia Giuffre writes that she was violently raped by “a well-known prime minister.” The timeline fits Tony Blair, whose name is the only one, besides Trump’s, appearing in Trump’s Gaza peace plan. Comments, Prince Andrew?

Americans rebelling against the Dep't of Homan Security. Maybe we need to spell it out fully: We're AntiFascists.
Over the past week, ICE and border patrol agents have clashed with Chicago residents, and federal guard troops arriving in the city might inflame tensions further. Our reporters describe the situation on the ground.

This is THE most important point about the looming shutdown: the Republicans could do it without a single Democrat vote. They want to blame Democrats for the shutdown they want anyway.

I have an insurance guy who advises me on Medicare Advantage plans. He's great at what he does. His health care is under the ACA. He's worried about what it'll cost him for 2026. I didn't ask who he voted for.

Michele Beckwith, the top federal prosecutor in Sacramento, was fired hours after she reminded a Border Patrol chief to abide by court-ordered restrictions on immigration raids.

The Fed now projects Gross Domestic Product growth for the remainder of Trump's term to be waaaay less than we had under Biden. That, plus tariff-induced increased inflation equals stagflation. I'm old enough to remember Nixon's wage/price controls. Soooo much winning…[sigh]
The Fed’s outlook for GDP growth isn’t very optimistic — below 2% for the next 3 years.

Hmmm. The number of job seekers is now greater than the number of available jobs. Makes me wonder why GenZ bros haven't yet figured out that Trump doesn't GAF about them.
One marker of a weakening labor market: there are now more job seekers than job openings in the US.
