There's so much bad that could have been avoided had we just listened to and believe Paula Jones that Bill Clinton was a predator and complete creep. Everybody who worked on that campaign knew what he was, and are directly responsible for continuing his push for the Presidency despite it.

Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville, 81, argued on the Politicon podcast that President Donald Trump’s two‑day trip to Beijing is a personal “grift” rather than a genuine diplomatic effort. Citing the presence of billionaire tech and finance executives—Elon Musk, Nvidia’s Jensen Huang, Apple’s Tim Cook, Goldman Sachs’s David Solomon and Boeing’s Kelly Ortberg—and the absence of China experts or First Lady Melania Trump, Carville claimed the president is using the visit to secure lucrative investment opportunities and line his own pockets, saying Trump “does not give a s‑—t about anyone else.” Trump, meanwhile, posted on Truth Social that he will ask President Xi Jinping to open China to U.S. businesses, touting the trip as beneficial for both nations.

"The Department of Government Efficiency’s cancellation last year of the majority of ffederal #humanities #grants, including to several #Jewish projects, was #unlawful and #unconstitutional, a federal judge ruled Thursday.

In her 143-page ruling, U.S. District #Judge #ColleenMcMahon called out the agency created by #President #DonaldTrump specifically for its targeting of Jewish projects, including #Holocaust #research.

“At a time when the specter of #antisemitism has reemerged from the shadows, for our Government to deem a project about #Jewishwomen disfavored because it centered on ‘Jewish cultures’ and ‘female’ voices is deeply troubling,” wrote #McMahon, who was appointed by President #BillClinton in 1998. She was referring specifically to a canceled “project on Jewish #women subjected to slave labor during the Holocaust.”
