Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said Tuesday on CNN’s “OutFront” that President Donald Trump’s pardoning the January 6 protesters was to create a “reserve army of political foot soldiers.” Raskin said, “The question is why? Pardons have generally been used when people are actually innocent or there was some procedural miscarriage of justice. Nobody’s claiming that these people were innocent. We’ve got them on tape, you know, hitting the police officers over the head with pipes and bats and Confederate battle flags and all of that’s been established. Most of them pled guilty. The others have been convicted. There was no...

panish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has become the first European leader to openly criticise newly inaugurated U.S. president Donald Trump—although he avoided naming him directly. In a speech posted to X just moments before the inauguration, Sánchez denounced what he referred to as the “technocaste” of Silicon Valley billionaires, accusing them of using their social media influence to undermine democratic processes. This was a clear reference to tech moguls such as Elon Musk, a prominent Trump supporter, and Mark Zuckerberg, who has recently taken a more conciliatory view to the 47th U.S. president. Speaking at the Hispania 2040 event in...

We have grave concerns about SC Senate Bills S36 and S37. These bills do not set the gold standard for elections. We must remember that the foundation of our Republic is the confidence of our voters and candidates in the electoral process. If passed, these bills will only serve to erode that confidence. Bill S36Bill S36 increases the precinct size from 1,500 to 3,000 and allows the county board of elections and registrations total flexibility in moving/changing polling locations or precincts. While this may be convenient for the election commission as it may reduce vote locations, it is far less...

Regular aerobic exercise could significantly reduce disease markers associated with Alzheimer's, research has found. The findings provide new hope in the battle against this devastating disorder.
