I am maybe suggesting that the rhetoric of ‘can’t we all get along?’ – and those quotes you made about, you know, from my speech in 2004 about there’s a ‘United States of America’ – that has to be undergirded with an honest accounting of our past and our present,” the former president said. He continued: “If a Republican who may even be sincere in saying ‘I want us all to live together’ doesn’t have a plan for how do we address crippling generational poverty that is a consequence of hundreds of years of racism in this society… If somebody is not proposing, both acknowledging and proposing elements that say, ‘No, we can’t just ignore all that and pretend as if everything’s equa...

The political and media establishment have whipped themselves into an almighty frenzy over allegations — yet to be confirmed — that Cambridge Analytica may have used improperly-obtained Facebook data during the 2016 election campaign, a charge they strenuously deny. Online political advertising is now a “dark art,” The Guardian. “Data And The Threat to Democracy” is the blunt Philadelphia Inquirer. In the U.S., lawmakers are There was no such outrage after the 2012 election, in which the Obama campaign harvested data from Facebook users at a scale that, according to a former senior Obama campaign staffer, shocked Facebook themselves. Although Obama’s data-gathering operation was widely known, the tone of establishment media coverage was casual, even celebratory. Certainly, no-one dared suggest that it constituted a “threat to democracy.” In their cheerfully-titled The Guardian explained how the Obama campaign harvested data on friend networks from unwitting voters. At the core is a single beating heart – a unified computer database that gathers and refines information on millions of committed and potential Obama voters. The database will allow staff and volunteers at all levels of the campaign – from the top strategists answering directly to Obama’s campaign manager Jim Messina to the lowliest canvasser on the doorsteps of Ohio – to unlock knowledge about individual voters and use it to target personalised messages that they hope will mobilise voters where it counts most. ...

“She must recuse herself from the case or, if she refuses, be reassigned by the appropriate judicial oversight authorities,” they said. The article cites 28 U.S.C. § 455(a), a federal law that says a judge must disqualify oneself from a case where impartiality can be questioned. “Because her earlier handling of this case went well outside the judicial norm and was roundly criticized by the Court of Appeals, reasonable observers of this case could question her impartiality,” the men wrote, joined by Fred Wertheimer, founder of the nonprofit group Democracy 21. Additionally, progressive legal scholar and Harvard University professor Laurence Tribe tweeted over the weekend that the public must have proper oversight of the case by having it televised. “If the legal system is too weak or corrupt to replace Judge The 1980 case involved reporters challenging a judge’s closure of a murder trial from the press. The court ruled there’s a First Amendment interest for the public to attend criminal trials. Conservatives, though, are defending Judge Mike Davis, president of the Article III Project, said on Fox News that she’s a “very fair judge.” “The Democrats will attack her, they’ll say that she’s a Trump appointee. She got substantial Democrat support during her confirmation. So that blows their argument right out of the water,” he said in an appearance Friday on “Jesse Watters Primetime.” Judge Correction: A previous version of this story misspelled former White House ethics czar N...

“Face-to-face time is a little harder to come by these days, but technology makes it possible for anyone with an internet connection to send a message to the President and his Administration,” Jason Goldman, chief digital officer of the White House, wrote in the press release. It’s “as easy as messaging your closest friends.”

(AP Photo/Tony Gutierrez, File) Lawmakers are considering rolling back an Obama-era rule that requires airlines to show the total price of a ticket upfront in advertising, while also tweaking training requirements for airline pilots and making other changes in a massive bill covering the Federal Aviation Administration. On Friday, Republicans and Democrats on the House Transportation Committee released a 773-page proposal to reauthorize FAA programs for the next five years. Rep. Rick Larsen, D-Wash., described the proposal as a compromise and said many issues could still be fought out when congressional committees begin considering changes in the legislation next week. The FAA is under fire for a shortage of air traffic controllers, One provision of the House bill would let airlines advertise the “base airfare” — excluding taxes and fees — as long as they include a link to the all-in price or disclose it some other way. That would weaken an Obama administration rule that airlines have long fought to kill...

Former President Obama criticized Sen. Tim Scott’s (R-S.C.) optimistic tone on race and acknowledged while projecting a hopeful message is important, “That has to be undergirded with an honest accounting of our past and our present. “And so if a Republican, who may even be sincere in saying, ‘I want us all to live together,’ doesn’t have a plan for how do we address crippling generational poverty that is a consequence of hundreds of years of racism in this society, and we need to do something about that. If that candidate is not willing to acknowledge that, again and again, we’ve seen discrimination in everything from … getting a job to buying a house to how the criminal justice system operates,” Obama said “If somebody’s not proposing, both acknowledging and proposing, elements that say, ‘No, we can’t just ignore all that and pretend as if everything’s equal and fair. We actually have to walk the walk and not just talk the talk.’ If they’re not doing that, then I think people are rightly skeptical,” Obama added. Scott is the only Black candidate in the 2024 GOP presidential primary pool, and Obama was asked specifically about his messaging on race. The former president said that while he was not trying to criticize Scott individually, there is sometimes a tendency among Republican candidates to gloss over the lingering effects of centuries of racism and instead “validate America and say, ‘Everything great, and we can make it.’” Scott has frequently argued that his success...

Trump has repeatedly said this, too, and we’ve rated those claims Separations under past administrations, including Generally, a child and an adult who arrive together at the border can be separated when border officials cannot establish the custodial relationship; when they believe the custodian may be a threat to the child; or when the custodian is being detained for prosecution. Immigration experts have told PolitiFact that family separations did not happen at nearly the scale that they did under the Trump administration. George W. Bush’s Operation Streamline referred for prosecution immigrants who crossed into the country illegally, but made exceptions for adults who were traveling with children. The Obama administration initially kept families together in detention, but after losing a legal challenge, released families out of detent...
