Life imitates art.

29 years ago, Wag the Dog told the story of a US president mired in sex scandal that threatened to undermine his presidency so he decided he needed to concoct a make-believe war to boost his support.

Khanna: I think that there was some sexism in the way Secretary Clinton was treated. She was treated worse than President Clinton was treated.

Once again, Trump makes clear that if a woman is murdered, it's only tragic if she was "beautiful, so beautiful," because if she was plain looking then eh, whatever

Trump stole $1,700 from the average American family with his illegal tariff tax. It’s been 30 minutes. He hasn’t once mentioned how he is going to pay back your hard-earned money.

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes.

$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst".

New Mexico is leading where the federal government has failed to act. Grateful to NM State Reps. Andrea Romero and Marianna Anya for their leadership in passing the NM Epstein Truth Commission, and to our AG for reopening investigations into Zorro Ranch.

This is about justice for the survivors.

Why would federal prosecutors in 2019 tell authorities in New Mexico to stop their investigation into Epstein and Zorro Ranch?

New Mexico probes allegation of bodies buried near Epstein ranch The allegation emerged from documents released by the US Department of Justice, that Epstein ordered the bodies of two foreign girls buried outside his remote New Mexico ranch.

New Mexico's DOJ said the state was investigating an allegation that Jeffrey Epstein ordered the bodies of two foreign girls buried outside his New Mexico ranch.

The New Mexico DOJ has requested from the U.S. Justice Department an unredacted copy of an email in 2019 containing the allegation.

New Mexico officials are reopening the investigation at Epstein’s Zorro Ranch.

Let’s be clear: they’re investigating claims that girls may have been murdered and buried there. It’s a crime scene and should have been taken seriously years ago.

Instead, here we are. Looking at a cold case.

Donald Trump is the biggest threat to US national security.

Laws should be passed that invalidate presidential candidates who can not pass a security clearance, or have been convicted of a felony.

"The U.S. Women's Hockey Team said it is declining President Donald Trump's invitation to attend his State of the Union address, a day after the president jokingly told the U.S. men's hockey team that he would be impeached if he didn't also invite the women's team."
