Judge orders four more Hillary Clinton email releases

Source: Politico

A federal judge has ordered the State Department to make four additional releases of Hillary Clinton's emails between Saturday and the end of February.

U.S. District Court Judge Rudolph Contreras issued an order Thursday requiring State to release batches of the still-undisclosed portion of Clinton's emails on February 13, 19 and 26 with "all remaining documents" released by "the close of business" on February 29.

Contreras had publicly discussed the possibility of releasing some of the messages directly to the Freedom of Information Act litigant whose case the judge is overseeing, Jason Leopold of Vice News. However, the judge's order Thursday directs State to release the records on its website, as the agency has done at least once each month since May of last year.

The release schedule stretches the emails disclosures out through two upcoming contests where Clinton is competing for delegates in the Democratic presidential race: the Feb. 20 Nevada caucuses and the Feb. 27 South Carolina primaries.

Bernie Sanders Addresses the National Rainbow Coalition Conference 1986



Great speech. I especially like his line about taking back the flag.

Head vs heart

The media keeps using this phrase. And voters keep repeating it back to them creating an endless loop. "My heart is with Bernie but my head is with Clinton." Repeat, repeat, repeat.

If your head and you heart are telling you two different things, maybe you've been brainwashed.

Why is Hillary never referred to as a 68 year old capitalist?

Every time a journalist, whether on TV or in print, discusses Bernie Sanders, they will refer to him as a 74 year old democratic socialist. Why is he the only candidate in either party that is referred to that way?

Bernie Sanders Introduces Bill Ending The Federal Ban On Marijuana

Source: Huffington Post

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has introduced a bill that would end federal prohibition of marijuana, marking the latest move the Democratic presidential candidate has made toward ending the war on drugs.

The Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act, introduced Wednesday, is modeled after a bill first proposed by Rep. Jared Polis (D-Colo.) in 2013, which was reintroduced this year as the Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol Act. The Senate bill would remove marijuana from the Drug Enforcement Administration's list of the "most dangerous" drugs and strike marijuana from the Controlled Substances Act, allowing states to decide whether they want to legalize pot for recreational or medical use without federal intervention.

The bill comes a week after Sanders first proposed reclassifying marijuana as a less-dangerous substance, arguing that doing so is an essential component of reforming America's criminal justice system.

"In the United States we have 2.2 million people in jail today, more than any other country. And we’re spending about $80 billion a year to lock people up. We need major changes in our criminal justice system – including changes in drug laws,” Sanders said at George Mason University on Oct. 28. “Too many Americans have seen their lives destroyed because they have criminal records as a result of marijuana use. That’s wrong. That has got to change."
