Hey, everybody. It's Tim Miller from the bulwark. I was on MSNBC with Chris Jansing this afternoon.

We got to do a bunch of stuff, including some changes and projections for the House

Representatives. It's good for the Democrats and also some internal mega infighting over Planned

Parenthood funding and other abortion issues. I did that little bit with our new bulwark friend,

Sarah Matthews, who I was excited to

have the opportunity to be on the tube with. But before we get to that, I had a few other

issues I wanted to pop off on. So much is happening in the news. And for the pod today,

I kind of took a deep literary dive on on civil rights issues and how that's that's resonating today.

So if you don't mind, I've got some thoughts about Trump's fake Nobel Peace Prize trophy

and some of the latest craziness out of our Department of Homeland Security.

Let's start with Maria Carina Machado's visit to the

lighthouse. We've got to say, it feels like this is a little too, little too late for Maria

Machado. I mean, I don't, Donald Trump likes trophies, but things are already moving down the tracks

as far as him garnishing, confiscating, stealing the oil from Venezuela and putting it in a bank account

in Qatar and letting the communist Chevista still run the country. So Donald Trump doesn't

really seem to care a lot about, you know, freedom and the other things that Machado was

talking about. I think maybe she was hoping that he would care about the trophy so much. But I think Donald Trump's kind of the person that says, hey, great, thank you.

I appreciate the trophy.

I'm going to keep it.

I'm going to put it in my trophy room and then not do anything for you.

That would be kind of my assessment of Donald Trump's character.

I do have to mention that she gave him the medal in this kind of framed.
