“Oh my god… I have no words.”
Listen to the emotional moment this year’s laureate Maria Corina Machado finds out she has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
Kristian Berg Harpviken, Director of the Norwegian Nobel Institute, shared the news with her directly before it was announced to the world.

In the past year, #NobelPeacePrize laureate Maria Corina Machado has been forced to live in hiding. Despite serious threats against her life she has remained in the country, a choice that has inspired millions of people.
When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognise courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist. Democracy depends on people who refuse to stay silent, who dare to step forward despite grave risk, and who remind us that freedom must never be taken for granted, but must always be defended – with words, with courage and with determination.

Although more older Americans are living with chronic disease, statistics say little about the quality of their lives: “You can’t tell if they are living in a nursing home or CEO of a Fortune 500 company.” -@DrMarkLachs via @WSJ wsj.com/health/wellness/amer…

Big Pharma’s worst nightmare just came true:
Trump and RFK Jr. exposed a decades-long scam bleeding Americans dry.
The room fell silent when Trump revealed why we pay 10X more than Europe for identical drugs.
You won’t believe what you’re about to hear.
