Susan Rice is right. Now Netflix must choose. The institutions and individuals who betrayed democratic principles will bear that mark of shame well into the future.

Susan Rice saw this moment coming. She described it plainly, and she was right.

Now, Netflix must decide which side of history it wants to be on.

The right choice is obvious. The only question is whether Netflix has the courage to make it. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/susa...

People need to understand what’s happening in Washington state because it’s outrageous and barely being covered by the news media. But I think it matters, and I think you’ll agree.

Why China Sent Spies After Gold Medal-Winning Skater Alysa Liu And Her Father Liu and her father, who had protested the Chinese government after the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre, were targeted in an alleged spying scheme months before Liu competed at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.

France has confirmed that a special prosecutorial team will review the Epstein files.
