I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression
The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

Donald Trump continues to enable, support & defend KNOWN child sex traffickers & pedophiles right in front of all of us and the world. The feckless cowards in the #GOP cannot deny this any longer. Their complicity stinks like any seat Donald Trump lifts his bloated rotting carcass from. Andrew Tate

If you're familiar with the Andrew Tate story, then you know that the link between Trump, Paul Ingrassia and the Tate Brothers is Richard "Ric" Grenell, who is currently his interim advisor for the JFK Center. Grenell has spent an exhaustive amount of time in Romania lobbying for charge dismissal.
The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

Every single news story about Trump hosting MBS at the WH today should include the tremendously lucrative business deals the Saudis have done this year with Trump Org to enrich Trump and his family personally, which is the primary reason why this is happening.

If you’re claiming that your misogynist behavior is a Democrat hoax, probably not a good idea to call a woman “piggy”

Asked whether there is anything incriminating in the Epstein files, Trump responds by telling a female reporter to be "quiet" and seemingly calling her "piggy."

This is not how an innocent man behaves.

Trump cannot hide his misogyny even for his own benefit.
"Quiet! Quiet, Piggy."

My suggestion when traveling in Mexico. Every single person you meet: look them in the eye, smile, say “good morning” (or good evening or whatever). And wait for them to greet you back.
Only then proceed to whatever business is at hand. I know it seems slow and overly formal to us. But just do it.

"We are hearing the administration say they intend to investigate various Dems who were friends with Epstein. I beg you President Trump -- please stop making this political. It is not about you. Show some class. I voted for you, but your behavior on this issue has been a national embarrassment."

A democracy depends on transparency. Our assessment warns weakened oversight and efforts to evade accountability are indicators of authoritarianism. Allegations that DOJ officials operated through hidden channels and destroyed records reflect those systemic warning signs.
