Release the files, not the pedophiles.

Maxwell's testimony, as dictated to her by the Trump DOJ, is not transparency.

We see it for what it is.

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

Qatar gets a military base and will station troops on U.S. soil. They are a sponsor of terrorism.

MAGA?

Maybe now Donald will stop talking about the eight imaginary wars he ‘ended’ and go back to pardoning pedophiles and awarding himself golf trophies.

If you rename the Department of Defense the Department of War, then bomb fishing boats in the Caribbean, and shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper bullet, you should automatically be barred from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for the rest of your life.

Never, and I mean NEVER, take medical advice from a heroin addict that eats road kill bears and straps whale carcasses to the roof of his Volvo.

Trump on pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell: Haven't heard the name in so long. I’ll take a look at it. I’ll speak to the DOJ. A lot of people have asked me for pardons.

Reporter: But she’s convicted of sex trafficking

Trump: I’ll have to take a look at it.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

"Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes." "Families are torn apart; men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared." Anne Frank, 1943
