The letter from Bill and Hillary Clinton to James Comer explaining their refusal to testify in his Epstein investigation is really remarkable, not like any letter of this genre I've seen. It's signed by them, not a lawyer, and the arguments are not legal ones. Reprinted from their X account:

"By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland?"
The implied answer is obviously "by force" and if we're going to pick a fight with the entire world, that will eventually mean testing our military strength against literally everyone.

TAPPER: Can you rule out the US is going to take Greenland by force?
MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO
T: So force is on the table?

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

If you’re wondering why a president managing to be both batshit and decrepit doesn’t get the 25th deployed, it’s because chasing the puppet distracts everyone from those pulling the strings. Trump is out-Zaphoding Beeblebrox and out-weekending Bernie.

The presidency once served as a reminder of our common humanity. Ronald Reagan described its purpose as building "a nation composed of good and decent people."

Update: DHS got back to me about this.
The spokesperson called questions about the faith leaders' remarks "a ridiculous line of questioning."
She then claimed that "if you watch the video, you can clearly see rioters attacking police" — but did not specify which video she was referring to.

I’m thinking the Dems need to run on nothing less than remaking American democracy.
End Citizens United, totally reform the corrupt and broken SCOTUS, a new voting rights act, ban gerrymandering everywhere.
And give Trump figures who broke the law fair trials, and ban them from federal jobs.

The fact that the estate released files that implicate Donald Trump, files that the DOJ/FBI have, proves that Pamela Jo Bondi and Kash Patel are actively involved in a criminal cover-up.
The Epstein files released today did not come from the DOJ's Epstein Files. They came from Epstein's estate. Pam Bondi is still protecting Trump at all costs. Today's release by Democrats was aimed at undermining her efforts. And to make it harder for Donald to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell.

Republicans wanted the story of the day to be the reopening of the government. But Mike Johnson is the one who decided to keep the House adjourned so the Epstein petition would be signed on the same day. He chose to make that the lead story today, nobody else. Brilliant strategy.
