Oh wow. Trump got a hand-me-down Nobel Peace Prize! Did you know:
It would not be the first time a Nobel laureate has given his or her medal away: in 1943 Nobel Literature laureate Knut Hamsun gave his medal to Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels.

Their messaging is so fucking incoherent. Maduro was an illegitimate leader who lost in 2024, which is why we're replacing him with his VP instead of the person who won in 2024. We did this to stop fentanyl, which is why he's indicted for cocaine.
We're also occupying Venezuela via Zoom call.

Q: Who will run Venezuela?
Trump: "It's largely going to be for a period of time the people that are standing right behind me. We're going to be running it."
Behind Trump is Marco Rubio, General Cain, Pete Hegseth, Stephen Miller, and John Ratcliffe.

The shorter version of every Miller post is "I'm not just a White Nationalist. I'm also an idiot."
Immigrant-hating Stephen Miller talks about Americans being "first to harness the atom." But the first controlled, self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction was conducted by a team led by Italian immigrant Enrico Fermi, who didn't become a U.S. citizen until a year and a half later.

At least 104 people have now been killed in similar US strikes, and Thursday’s attack marks the third this week. https://cnn.it/48X0HCI
