The official website of the Nobel Prize - NobelPrize.org The Nobel Prize rewards science, humanism and peace efforts. This is one of the central concepts in the will of Alfred Nobel, and it also permeates the outreach activities that have been developed for...

Six of the nine Nobel Prize winners this year work in the U.S.
Three of the six were born outside the U.S., which is the pattern most years. No country has benefited more from welcoming immigrants from around the world.

Navarro: 'we are just in the most beautiful place we've been I think ever with respect to trade'

*In Q2 2024, China bought over $3 billion in soybeans from U.S. farmers. This year, they’ve bought $0.

(shared with permission) ICE/CBP has been active on Chicago's northwest side this morning—and also met with rapid responders.

Agents reportedly abducted one man from this Dunkin at Belmont and Milwaukee around 9:30am before speeding off.

HUGE: A federal judge in Chicago just ruled Kristi Noem's warrantless arrests of people unlikely to flee are ILLEGAL. 💪Worse for her, he ordered ICE to report EVERY Chicago arrest for the last 4 months – compiling a record for criminal charges. 🔥

Why is Kristi Noem pushing to quadruple the number of federal troops in Portland over protests like the ones happening outside the ICE facility?

@democracynow.org had @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social and me on together to explain that she is not being sworn in because she is the 218th signatory for the release of the Epstein files. Swear her in today.

Weird how Antifa never asks me for money. Everyone else does, but Antifa is very quiet.

Hey, you guys? Is it a good sign or a bad sign if the prosecution is just getting its hands around the evidence *after* it criminally charged the former FBI director?

Gov. Josh Shapiro: "I respect the Canadian people and Canada's sovereignty... When POTUS bullies Canada, threatens to make them the 51st state, belittles them, undermines their sovereignty, that undermines the interests of our farmers and the people who work in our factories."

This is important because many don’t realize those details.
No National Guard allowed in Portland at this time.

Kash Patel fires yet another group of FBI agents without cause, shutters corruption group The Republicans’ “Arctic Frost” controversy has largely collapsed under scrutiny. It led the FBI to fire at least three special agents anyway.

Patel firing another group of FBI special agents without cause is ridiculous.

But don’t overlook the fact that he also just shut down a federal corruption unit — the latest in a series of moves intended to undo the federal infrastructure that was used to combat corruption.

Only a strong and powerful leader like Trump can bring this war ravaged city back from the brink of destruction and anarchy.

Yurii Shapovalov, a doctor, spent 7 years, 7 months, and 3 days imprisoned in Russian-occupied Donetsk for his pro-Ukrainian position.

Yurii is a native of Donetsk and a physician with 30 years of experience. He worked as a neurophysiologist at the diagnostic center of the regional hospital.

it’s all just a grift

California is the first state to define ultra-processed foods and phase them out of school meals.

DC politicians can talk all day about "Making America Healthy Again," but we've been walking the walk on boosting nutrition and removing toxic additives and dyes for decades.

“Bullsh*t max reached”

(H/T @gavinnewsom.bsky.social )

FWIW, if Democrats somehow shake down Republicans in this shutdown for ACA subsidies, they definitely will try and take a farmer bailout hostage. The question is what will be their asking price.

TAPPER: I don't understand why you're not calling the House back in session

MIKE JOHNSON: Members are doing important work in their districts right now

TAPPER: But the work legislating is also important work

Democrats press Bondi over concerns DOJ is being weaponized to target Trump's foes Bondi defended her work as attorney general, rejecting allegations that DOJ investigations and prosecutions, including the recent indictment of former FBI Director James Comey, are driven by politics.

Pam Bondi’s disrespect and canned attacks on Senators during the oversight hearing was a disgrace.

Lordy, let there be trials.

BREAKING: Federal judge officially found ICE violated people’s rights during raids in Chicago, conducted unlawful arrests.

GOV. PRITZKER: “This is a convicted felon threatening to jail me? He’s an unhinged, insecure wannabe dictator. Come and get me.”

White House announces radical new plan to allocate tariff revenue without Congress The Constitution gives Congress what’s known as the “power of the purse.” When Trump tries to claim he has his own purse, there’s a problem.

On the White House’s WIC plan, we’re not supposed to have a system in which a president can:

- impose his own tax without Congress

- create his own pile of money that Congress never approved

- allocate funds, at his discretion, to whichever cause he deems fit, without Congress

When we have prevailed...(and...we will)...and are engaged in a vigorous and unending process of protecting what we saved, doing so with a ferocity we hadn't been for decades, be one of those who is unquestionably able to say, "I never gave in. I didn't allow my position to slip so much as an inch."

Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses Eyes Up's purpose is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." But it has been swept up in Apple's crackdown on ICE-spotting apps.

New: Apple banned an app that simply archived videos of ICE abuses. Rather than other apps that record ICE official's real-time location, Eyes Up is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." Videos from TikTok etc. Every submission manually reviewed

A long arch bridge across a tall gorge and the Rio Grande at sunset. There are a few puffs of pink clouds above it and volcanic rocks and desert plants in the foreground.

The Mighty Rio Grande

Played my favorite song while visiting the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge but the river is no longer mighty. There's sadly very little water in it.

This is why I love Chicago so much. Their “we will fuck with you” reserves are BOTTOMLESS.
