Nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize? Wait Until You Receive It to Brag

I fight the urge to say something like this every time I see a journalist describe their work as "Pulitzer Prize-nominated." Congrats on paying the entry fee, I guess!

It being Nobel Prize week reminds me of this great NYT headline from last year:

‘Battle-tested’ Amy McGrath launches second Kentucky U.S. Senate bid “This is a different race, it’s a different year, it’s a midterm,” McGrath said, comparing 2026 to her 2020 run for U.S. Senate.

New: Amy McGrath is back.

Here's what the "battle-tested" candidate had to say about her decision to run for McConnell's seat again, the issues & her response to people groaning about the 2020 fundraising "waste."

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Or lemongrass tea, which I make by just boiling lemongrass for a few minutes because it's better than anything sold in tea bags.

Hmm. I think they're different enough that liking one is not a guarantee of liking the other.

Since both the teas you like so far are herbal, you might like Twinings' lemon ginger tea. It's pretty inoffensive (I also don't like hibiscus) and good with some honey mixed in.

I really like hojicha, which is a toasted green tea. Tastes exactly like it sounds, so proceed accordingly. Can probably find it at any Asian grocery store.

Seven years ago today, Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi was tortured, murdered and then dismembered. And any so-called comedian who can't stand up tonight in Riyadh and do ten minutes on that kind of hijinx and horseplay just isn't worth the Saudi blood money he's being paid.

Everything I know about Randall Weddle is against my will.

KY Senate GOP candidates don’t want to talk about Rand Paul or Thomas Massie They’re the two hottest names in Kentucky politics. Why won’t any of the major U.S. Senate candidates talk about Rand Paul or Thomas Massie?
