The winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2026 is Navi Pillay, a brave extraordinary woman who has served at the International Criminal Court prosecuting genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity. Immediately after being notified she had won, she mocked the orange felon on video. Love her. 💙👊

Andy Burnham vows ‘deeper co-operation’ with EU to tackle Russia. Good rhetoric. But Brexit made us startlingly weaker and less safe. EU membership is the best option for our country’s security. We are stronger together. www.thetimes.com/article/69b8...

Basically Badenoch has just told the North, the Midlands, the South West, Scotland, Wales and N Ireland to go fuck themselves. Her policies are aimed at the well off and very rich in London and the South East. Well at least she isn’t trying to pretend anymore.

Barack Obama is back in his role as Democrats’ closer-in-chief. He just cut ads for 24 Senate & gubernatorial campaigns—targeting races where he can help move persuadable voters. At 57% favorability, Obama is the most popular living president. Expect to see much more of him before Election Day. 💙

Not that anyone needs a reminder but this man has the nuclear codes. Far too many people will just shrug this off or find some way to justify it. But Trump is unwell, incoherent, and a danger to us all.

TODAY is the last day to register to vote in several states. I urge you to double check your state's deadline, verify that you are registered, and make changes to your registration if needed. Then contact three friends or family members and have them do the same. whenweallvote.org
