We've been saying for a very long time now that Hillary's opposition to the TPP is largely bullshit. She urged her delegates to oppose anti-TPP language in the party platform.

Yesterday I expressed my disapproval of a particularly nasty e-mail in which DNC CFO Brad Marshall discussed questioning Bernie Sanders’ religious faith as a way to score political points.

With the news of the horrendous terrorist truck attack in Nice still fresh in the media and in people’s minds, another story about France flew below the radar. On July 1st France broke its own record for the number of its citizens incarcerated, with almost 70,000 people in prison.
