As if you're not disgusted enough with the Democratic Party, the weasel Ed Rendell just doubled-down on pissing off half of their voting base:
As Hillary Clinton made her New York victory speech, she said, “To all the people who supported Sen. Sanders, I believe that there’s much more that unites us than divides us.”
The FBI has interviewed Huma Abedin, and will interview Hillary Clinton within weeks, as part of the FBI email probe, according to CNN.
Here is the initial report:
First on CNN: FBI interviews Clinton aides including Huma Abedin as part of email probe
Some of Hillary Clinton's closest aides, including her longtime adviser Huma Abedin, have provided interviews to federal investigators, as the FBI probe into the security of her private email server nears completion, U.S. officials briefed on the investigation tell CNN. The investigation is still ongoing, but so far investigators haven't found evidence to prove that Clinton willfully violated the law the U.S. officials say.
The new transgender advocacy organization Trans United Fund has released its first pro-transgender advertisement:
The video is entitled Meet My Child, and it features three transgender children and their mothers.
Trans United Fund was founded on the conviction that nothing is more transformative than trans people and our families sharing their lives authentically. For too long, the voices of bullies who play to the public's worst fears and demonize our community have been the loudest. For too long, trans people and our families have been kept out of the spotlight for fear that the truth of our lives would be 'off message.' This ad shares the story of three incredibly loving mothers and their children. The story of a mother's love, dreams and hopes for her children and fierce commitment to protect them is something that all Americans understand.
Note: Honestly, I am still frustrated by the same thing I was frustrated with yesterday, so this is another rant. I apologize if it is a bit incoherent at times. My thoughts tend to race when I get upset about politics, and my writing can reflect these racing thoughts.

The Senior Campaign Strategist for John McCain's 2008 run, Steve Schmidt, has declared that Hillary Clinton will be courting hawkish voters should she be the nominee, and will be running well right of Donald Trump in issues of war.
The person who claimed Bernie "rarely said anything negative about Bush" is now going to Bush-donors for $$$. Nice.https://t.co/DPxEC28z1F

The lies of corporate politicians are the foundational cause of every crisis America is facing. Let us not talk falsely now is Bernie’s message to the despised political establishment, to the depraved economic establishment, to the degenerate media establishment, to the degraded military establishment, it’s his message to everyone in power, to everyone in authority at every level of society, to the police and the judges, to business owners and employers, to every American trapped in this twilight struggle for survival as the pursuit of corporate profit strangles the economy and the GOP casts the shadow of fascism across the entire political system.
Let us not talk falsely now.
