Brunkow got the news of her prize from a photographer.

She said she had ignored the earlier call from the Nobel committee. “My phone rang and I saw a number from Sweden and thought: ‘That’s just, that’s spam of some sort.’”

Husband: “When I told Mary she won, she said, ‘don’t be ridiculous'."

Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down. The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.

MSNBC: In an undercover operation last year, the FBI recorded Tom Homan, now Trump's border czar, accepting $50,000 in cash after indicating he could help the agents win government contracts in a second Trump admin.

Trump's DOJ just shut down the investigation into Homan's actions.

FROM: MEIDASTOUCHNETWORK To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. ~ Theodore Roosevelt ~

Trump loves to play the strongman, but in reality he is a weak, thin-skinned, petty little man-baby.

This commentary offers a clear, powerful statement of why freedom of speech is at the heart of democracy and must be defended, whether the speaker is Charlie Kirk or Jimmy Kimmel, MAGA supporters or MAGA opponents.

Breaking news: Thirty-one journalists were killed in Israeli airstrikes on a newspaper complex in Yemen last week, according to a new report by the Committee to Protect Journalists.

They say it was “the deadliest strike on journalists in the Middle East.”

The president is putting America’s armed forces in a bind Turning soldiers into cops was once a last resort. How far might he go?

Donald Trump ostensibly sent National Guard troops to Washington, DC to fight crime. In reality they are collecting rubbish and spreading mulch in city parks. But if the president ratchets up these moves, would the law constrain him?

Right-wing extremist violence is more frequent and more deadly than left-wing violence − what the data shows Donald Trump and top administration officials confidently assert that left-wing political violence is a huge problem in the US. They’re wrong, say researchers who study extremism.

Contrary to Trump’s claim that “the radical left causes tremendous violence,” sociologists find that right-wing extremists account for the vast majority of attacks and deaths from domestic terrorism.

How the Supreme Court Turned Trump Into a Danger to Everyone The administration’s decision to launch an attack against alleged drug runners in the Caribbean is a lawless act—or at least it used to be.

Let this sink in: A president can now (apparently) not only accept gifts (bribes) from foreign nations, but order lethal strikes on foreign boats in international waters too!

Does Anybody Care This Is the Worst Bribery Scandal Since Teapot Dome? The UAE put $2 billion into World Liberty Financial, then got export restrictions lifted on AI chips. Nothing to see here, move along.

The UAE put $2B into a crypto firm largely owned by the Trumps and Witkoffs (as in Steve Witkoff, Special Envoy to the Middle East)—then got export restrictions lifted on AI chips.

And let's not forget Trump's other gift from the Middle East, his private jet from Qatar. trib.al/IiVL63t
