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/pr…

Sen. JD Vance claimed on national television that Donald Trump "didn't go after his political opponents" during the four years of his presidency.

THIS is what everyone needs to be aware of.
IF you vote for Trump, you are voting for a fascist who plans to use the military to go after political opposition—including regular American citizens who dare to criticize him. "The enemy from within."

I'm begging reporters covering the declining birthrate to interview feminist scholars. Much of the coverage focuses on the tax policy, the election, & the rising cost of living generally. But there's very little focus on the lack of suitable partners & the threat of misogyny.

We ran the same exact AP story at @MSFreePress. We made a different headline and photo choice, though.

So now confirmed. The bus company that the Trump campaign booked refused to return and collect the visitors to the rally after their repeated requests for payment were ignored. Another example in the long history of Trump not paying his bills (see building suppliers in New York)

"President Trump is demonstrating the attributes of fascism every single day... and every American that is supporting Trump right now needs to understand that they are absolutely supporting fascism if they vote for Trump." — Retired Major General Randy Manner

Trump is planning a drastic shift in the role of the military in U.S. society to carry out his domestic agenda—unshackled from the restraints traditionally placed on the use of the military on U.S. soil.
Terrifying report by @stephengroves at AP:

“What is so jarring to me is these are not just Nazi-like statements," said Robert Jones of the Public Religion Research Institute. "These are actual Nazi sentiments."

Calling the sitting Vice President of the United States "retarded" and rehashing anti-semitic remarks about Jews is just a "cantankerous" mood per Trump's stenographers at the Paper of Record™

The Biden-Harris administration didn’t steal money from FEMA’s Disaster Relief Fund to use on immigrants, as former President Donald Trump claimed.
Congress sets money aside separately for each of FEMA’s programs.

Aurora’s Republican Mayor Mike Coffman on Trump’s Friday rally:

As a committed progressive, I am willing to let Donald Trump spend the next four years filling federal courts with religious zealots if it will teach the Democratic Party a lesson.

Ha! I notice the Trump campaign did not include the rest of the segment, in which I explained how Trump had “taken a kernel of truth and spun it into something not even resembling reality anymore.” Here’s part one.
CNN's @ddale8: "It is true that there is a Venezuelan gang called Tren-De-Aragua that has significantly increased its presence in the U.S. under Biden and Harris. It does have a presence in Aurora, Colorado and it has caused some problems in some apartment buildings in that city."

FACT CHECK: Donald Trump made a series of false and misleading claims about Colorado during his campaign rally in Aurora. Here are half of dozen of the most obvious falsehoods. #copolitics

New: Major newspapers are giving Trump’s federal criminal indictment a fraction of the coverage they gave former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server in 2016
ALT Image is of a chart. Media Matters reviewed print coverage in five newspapers — Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post — for stories mentioning Trump’s indictment in the week following U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan’s October 2 unsealing of special counsel Jack Smith’s latest filing, which reveals damning new evidence of the former president’s alleged crimes. We found the papers ran 26 combined articles mentioning Trump’s indictment in the week after the unsealing of Smith’s filing. But those same papers published 100 combined articles — nearly 4 times as many — that mentioned Clinton’s server in the week after then-FBI Director James Comey’s notorious October 28, 2016, letter on new developments in that probe, as we documented in a 2016 study.

A new book on Hitler’s rise to power examines how a country with a functional, if flawed, democratic machinery handed absolute power over to someone whom the conservative political class regarded as a chaotic clown with a violent following. nyer.cm/oPfBNTw

NEW: Evidence has been uncovered that Donald Trump enriched himself at the expense of taxpayers. While Trump was president, he stole $1.7 billion dollars in revenue and directed the funds to flow through his businesses. Further, Trump did everything possible to ensure the majority of the stolen money came from American taxpayers.
Additionally, “Stop the Steal” profiteering raked in more than $500,000,000 for Trump, less than $9,000,000 of which has been spent on lawyers. Trump is spending the remainder of the funds on himself.
An agonizing example of the thieving fundraising practices of “Stop the Steal” — The Trump campaign stole a man’s last $3000 as he lay dying in hospice.
