The Norwegian Nobel Prize committee has been forced to make a statement, declaring that the prize cannot be transferred.

I have a question for any lawyers out there - is the reason the feds are shutting out MN State Investigators is so that they can bring a Federal case (not a state case) and then easily pardon Ross in the event he is convicted?

The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed.
Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.

It’s incredible that the President of the United States is openly flirting with suspending Habeas Corpus, disappearing people left and right, arresting judges and politicians, accepting ludicrous bribes from foreign countries, and people are still trying to normalize this shit.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism.
If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.
