Since he brought it up, here are the stories on the Trump WH that have won the noble Pulitzer Prize for Journalism (links available on each citation page):

The @nytimes, for its exhaustive investigation into decades of fraud and lies at the Trump Org:

The @WSJ, for its uncovering of the illegal hush money payments the President made to the porn star with whom he had an affair, prior to the election:

pulitzer.org/winners/staff-…
The Arizona Republic and USA Today TV, for their examination of the realities of Mr Trump's "big beautiful" border wall:

pulitzer.org/winners/staffs…
The @NYTimes and @washingtonpost, jointly for their investigations into Russian interference into the 2016 campaign and how the Trump Campaign welcomed it, encouraged it, and tried to cover it up:

The @washingtonpost again, specifically to @Fahrenthold for his investigation and exposure of the years of fraud and self-dealing at the Trump Foundation. (My favorite!)

I am excluding stories or photos about things connected to the Trump era but not specifically about him. Still, whatever he's done for the country and the world, Mr Trump has been very good for journalism.

Movie idea: capable intelligent woman wins the Presidency by hiring a handsome 50 year old white man, gives him an earpiece, and Cyranos her way to the White House.
Or how about: A musical, "Damn Republicans." Smart liberal woman sells her soul to the Devil to become handsome 50 year old white man so she can run for and win the White House. After inauguration, Devil comes to collect, she shows him fine print she put in the contract...
...saying her soul can only be consigned to eternal damnation by an independent commission, which she's stocked with supporters. Devil curses her, retreats to Hell, while she sings the big finale: :"I Had A Plan For That."

Okay, if @PeteButtigieg is ending his campaign, time to say some things I refrained from saying because, you know, Neutrality and all that.

1) I know both Pete and @Chas10Buttigieg and consider myself lucky to do so. Two wonderful people who make an even more wonderful couple.
2) While never sure if Pete would make the best nominee for President -- I am not sure of anything -- I had no doubt he would make an excellent President, and someday, he still might.
3) All the people On Here and elsewhere who insulted him, mocked him, for not being Democratic enough, for not being gay enough, for not being progressive enough, for being insincere and manufactured... you were all, every one of you, dead wrong the whole time.

At the moment of Castro’s takeover, Cuba’s was among the most affluent, educated populations in Latin America.
Many of those educated middle class people supported Castro’s guerrilla war, often with funds, hoping he would, as he had promised, restore liberal democracy to the nation.
As soon as he seized power, he betrayed those promises and those supporters. Over the course of a year or so, he delayed, then canceled elections, declared himself first a Communist, then supreme leader, and seized and nationalized private property and industry.
