These venal Republican cowards and their decades of bad faith 'hearings' never landed a punch on #Hillary - but they tarnished her reputation with their low-info Fox voters and doubtless contributed to her loss in 2016. Few of them will meet her eyes during this session, and neither should they.

Putin's horrendous illegal war in Ukraine has been dragging on for 4 years, wasting hundreds of thousands of lives. If you want to help Ukraine end it, donate funds at this official Ukrainian government website. You can choose where your money is spent - defence, medical, education, etc.

I’m gonna go out in a limb here and say that I don’t think Trump did very well at Wharton.

The 1989 United Nations Convention on Rights of the Child says that we cannot discriminate against a child because of the beliefs or actions of their parents. So does basic human decency. #isischildren

“Trump told Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) that he would release the funds if Schumer would agree to name Dulles Airport outside Washington, D.C., and New York City’s Penn Station after him.” The grift is astounding.

The 300 laid off staff at the Post included a woman currently reporting from the Ukraine war zone. Observations here from @carolecadwalla.bsky.social - similarly retrenched from The Guardian as journalism struggles for survival. #washingtonpost open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

Heroic civilian observer Alex Pretti - killed by ICE in Minneapolis - stands looking down at Donald Trump writhing on the ground as though in his death throes.

“Over the course of a lifetime, we face only a few moments where the decisions we make and the actions we take will shape our history for years to come. This is one of them. If we give our freedoms away after 250 years, we might never get them back.” — President Bill Clinton, 1/25/26

This can’t be repeated enough. Not only won’t they investigate, they may never even tell us who did this.
Think about the message that sends to the next ones. Nobody is safe.
The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.
He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.
At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.
Wael died on Friday at age 30.
ICE caused his death.
They didn’t get to say goodbye.
A public school superintendent in Minnesota said federal immigration agents have detained four young students over the last two weeks, including a 5-year-old who was allegedly "used as bait."

This may end up being the defining speech for the coming era. Carney - a man for the times if ever there was one - confronts the world’s convenient submission to the US in the past and lays out a new way forward for middle powers like Canada (and Australia).
