Donald Trump’s short-time communications director and one-time pal Anthony Scaramucci attacked the president on Twitter Saturday with a chilling warning that Trump will eventually “turn” on the “entire country.” Trump lashed Scaramucci on Twitter earlier for his former friend’s criticism of him. Scaramucci, who served as White House communications director for a mere 11 days in 2017, has called Trump’s attacks on four Democratic congresswomen of color “racist and unacceptable.”…

The corporate media fakes soul searching for the root cause of mass murder in a nation that floods the world with weapons of every description and markets violence as recreation and entertainment. You don’t have to be Marianne Williamson to know that this is another manifestation of late-stage vulture capitalism that has no conscience and feeds off the ever-mounting pile of human carrion it generates worldwide. As tragic as our…

Marc Fisher Jonathan O’Connell August 10 at 4:53 PM At the beginning, middle and end of his career, Jeffrey Epstein faced a reckoning with his misdeeds. At every stage, he managed to avoid the efforts of prosecutors and victims to confront him with his financial chicanery and sexual abuses. On Saturday, he apparently chose to end his life rather than face what he had done. Epstein’s death by hanging in…

The apparent suicide of Jeffrey Epstein, who was found unresponsive Saturday morning in his federal jail cell, is the latest stunning development in the case against the once-powerful financier on charges of sex trafficking.

For months, the media have bent over backwards to convince us that 2020 presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren, who plans on paying for a $32 trillion “Medicare For all” bill and $1.25 trillion college plan with an unconstitutional wealth tax accruing just $2.75 trillion, is a serious policy wonk. In that same time, front-runner Joe Biden has wisely stuck to the sidelines as the crowded left-wing lane of the field careened…

HONG KONG — Several districts of Hong Kong were again convulsed by mass demonstrations and street clashes on Sunday, amid concerns that local gangsters might try to assault protesters in a reprise of earlier violence. The prospect of further street brawls between civilians lent a heightened sense of danger and uncertainty to protests that have continued for 10 consecutive weekends, prompted by fears about the erosion of civil liberties under…

Sen. Elizabeth Warren on Saturday released an ambitious plan to combat gun violence that combines executive orders and congressional action with the aim of to reducing gun deaths by 80%. The plan comes amid renewed calls for gun control one week after mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, that left more than 30 dead.  Warren released the plan shortly before joining the majority of other Democratic candidates…

The pair of retweets come on a day when Mr. Trump expressed outrage on Twitter over what he called “dishonest” and “inaccurate” coverage of his presidency by the news media, including The New York Times. Mr. Trump insisted that reports that several survivors of the mass shooting in El Paso last weekend had refused to see him when he visited their hospital on Wednesday were false, but provided no evidence….

Hong Kong’s flag carrier and largest airline, Cathay Pacific Airways, is in an awkward position. It must triangulate between Chinese authorities, passengers, and its employees, some of whom have been fired over ongoing local protests. Demonstrators in Hong Kong initially began to gather en masse about 10 weeks ago to express their opposition to a bill allowing authorities to extradite locals to mainland China. The weekly rallies have since evolved to…

DES MOINES, Iowa — Pete Buttigieg is asking whether there would be fewer police shootings if guns weren’t so prevalent on American streets. The mayor of South Bend, Indiana, posed the question during an appearance at Saturday’s Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund’s Presidential Gun Sense Forum, held in Des Moines, Iowa. “We’ve got to ask ourselves, if we lived in a country where everybody wasn’t armed, would officers be…
