Granderson: Even as Trump shreds the Constitution, keep your eye on the Epstein files
Column: Even as Trump shreds the Constitution, keep your eye on the Epstein files
The president is testing how much he can erode Americans' rights. But why now? What is he worried about?

So according to the Epstein files, the president of the United States of America raped a 13-year-old girl and “some girls went missing, rumoured to have been murdered and buried” at the president’s golf course.

If he doesn’t get impeached for this, the U.S. experiment is dead.

Groundhogs pop up on Feb. 2 for romance, not necessarily to be our weather forecasters.

Early February is about survival and mating: they briefly emerge from hibernation to reconnect before breeding in March. Valentine’s Day for groundhogs ❤️🥺

Why do groundhogs emerge on February 2 if it’s not to predict the weather?
It’s all about mating success.

The bishop sat down with Religion News Service to reflect on the year that has passed since her barn-burning sermon and on what she expects will be even more faith-based activism on behalf of immigrants.

Carney's speech reminds me of Pink Floyd. No, really.

"No more turning away
From the weak and the weary
No more turning away
From the coldness inside
Just a world that we all must share
It’s not enough just to stand and stare
Is it only a dream that there’ll be
No more turning away?"

Carney's speech at Davos is certainly making waves

In a few minutes, in a brief speech, Carney has made himself a leader of the next world order:

It seems that every day we're reminded that we live in an era of great power rivalry, that the rules-based order is fading, that the strong can do what they can and the weak must suffer what they must⤵️

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's speech today is one of the most insightful, albeit sobering, political speeches in a long time. Carney tells it as it is: "If you're not at the table you'll be on the menu."
