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

I guess we are just paying these people to fly around making workout videos and attending sporting events.

Blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol dies in Buffalo. A nearly blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol miles from his home dies in Buffalo after having been missing for nearly a week.

Our federal government killed a disabled genocide survivor and is covering up for a child rapist. And that is just today’s news. It is just unconscionable to be treating this as normal or acceptable in any way.

Gov. Abigail Spanberger: "In his speech tonight, the president did what he always does β€” he lied, he scapegoated, and he distracted. He offered no real solutions to our nation's pressing challenges, so many of which he is actively making worse."

In competitive authoritarianism (US right now) there's often a "loyal opposition" that's essential to the regime. They are so wedded to "decorum," they go along with rites & rituals that help regime prop up veneer of normalcy, undermining clear view of regimes actions & aims.

Judge Cannon claims that she *strains* to find an example where a special counsel released a report after in indictment that did not result in a finding of guilt. Here’s one off the top of my head: Sussman, who was charged and acquitted, is mentioned 311 times in Durham’s final report.

Trump is about to start a war he hasn't bothered to explain It's not even clear he knows why he wants to bomb Iran.

New in PN: Trump is about to start a war he hasn't bothered to explain

"He’s about to write a new chapter in the ignominious history of presidents thinking they impose their will by dropping bombs on foreign countries, yet he himself doesn’t seem to know why, let alone how it’s supposed to end."

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".

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.

As Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s family, we commend the British authorities for taking meaningful action and treating the Epstein files with the urgency they demand.

While these arrests aren’t for the underlying exploitation, they are a crucial step toward truth and accountability.

The contrast with the continued inaction in the United States is undeniable. Survivors deserve transparency, swift investigation, and real justice, no matter who is implicated.

Virginia Giuffre's family on the arrest of ex-U.K. Ambassador Peter Mandelson:

"The contrast with the continued inaction in the United States is undeniable. Survivors deserve transparency, swift investigation, and real justice, no matter who is implicated."
