Unprincipled and weak. The murder of journalists is perhaps the single most direct violation of the right to freedom of speech. (1/2)
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

The people who presently run Texas are afraid of letting their own people vote. Illegal says the court — but let’s add shameful and cowardly.
“Substantial evidence shows that Texas racially gerrymandered the 2025 Map."
In a bombshell decision on Tuesday, a federal court in Texas blocked a new congressional map that was created after President Trump demanded that the state redraw district lines to hand Republicans five new seats.

All but about 200 pages are blacked out.
