We should NOT be selling weapons to one of the worst human rights abusers in the world.
This should be a no-brainer.
MBS should be held responsible for the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi — not welcomed at the White House to celebrate a multibillion-dollar arms package deal.

The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed.
Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.

Republicans are trying to charge taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars to needlessly transfer a space shuttle from a museum in Virginia to Texas. Where’s their care and concern for stewarding taxpayer dollars now?

I've lived in Washington, DC for 19 years. This community has been through a lot of controversy and conversation about our football team. But nowadays, we pretty much have consensus about it. 1) Donald Trump, keep our team out of your mouth. 2) Release the Epstein files NOW.

Why? Why don't they know? Whose responsibility is it to ensure they know, how are those mechanisms failing, and what can we do to repair or replace them?
Those are the questions those who believe in journalism as public service should be asking ourselves. Because 48% is a failing grade.
