The Nobel Prize
The Nobel Prize@NobelPrize·
Statement from the Nobel Foundation One of the core missions of the Nobel Foundation is to safeguard the dignity of the Nobel Prizes and their administration. The Foundation upholds Alfred Nobel’s will and its stipulations. It states that the prizes shall be awarded to those who "have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind," and it specifies who has the right to award each respective prize. A prize can therefore not, even symbolically, be passed on or further distributed. For additional information, please refer to the Norwegian Nobel Committee: nobelpeaceprize.org/press/press-re…

After the House refused to display it, the Senate unanimously agreed to hang a plaque honoring the officers who protected the Capitol on Jan. 6. It only took five years. nbcnews.com/politics/congr…

🚨BREAKING: Donald Trump just named himself “the greatest president of them all” and says he’s a better president than George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Do you think Trump is completely delusional or just a f*cking idiot?

Vaccines are safe and effective. Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support. When you want information, ask your doctor. It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

Donald Trump owns the White House, Senate, and House. He doesn’t need a SINGLE Democratic vote if he wants to re-open government with a budget that guts your health care. Not one vote. So why can’t Mr. Art of the Deal get it done?

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

It's called checks and balances for a reason, little lady. And that’s how it’s been for 250 years. Don’t take the job if you can’t deal with its limitations. @PressSec

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up. What’s most clear to me tonight is that this is just the beginning, that Americans across this country, no matter their title or party, are ready to be heard. I believe that history will show we rose to meet this moment. It will show we did not let the chaos and division go unanswered. It will show that when our president chose to spread lies and sow fear, we chose to come together, to work together, and to rise together.

@sirDukeDevin Indeed. The Democratic Caucus in the Senate should replace Schumer with Warren or Klubuchar. We need fighters.

Do NOT panic during this first part of the evening. Rural counties report first because they have fewer votes to count -- tends to result in Republicans coming out to early leads. Democratic count tends to come in later in the evening. Keep Kamala and carry on a la.

The reason given in no way justifies why the newspaper would abdicate its role in informing and guiding voters as it has done in making endorsements in other key races this year, and as it has done in endorsing the candidates who were running against Trump in both 2016 and 2020.

As of yesterday, I have decided to resign from my role as a columnist for The Washington Post — a newspaper that I love. In a moment like this, everyone needs to make their own decisions. This is the reasonfor mine. 🧵

BREAKING: In a stunning announcement, 17 former staffers of Ronald Reagan have just endorsed Kamala Harris and went so far as to say Ronald Reagan himself would have supported her. This is huge.

As my friend @taylorswift13 so eloquently stated, now is the time to research and choose the candidate that speaks to you and your beliefs. Only 54 days left until the election. Make sure you are registered to vote! Your vote in this election may be one of the most important things you ever do. vote.gov Love, Stevie Nicks Childless Dog Lady
