Black Lives Matter Activist Confronts Hillary Clinton During Speech: "I'm Not a Super Predator"
Andy Cush · 02/25/16 10:34AMIn the 90s, before Hillary Clinton was taking private meetings with Deray McKesson and campaigning on promises to end mass incarceration and reform mandatory minimums, she was a little less enlightened, shall we say, on issues around race and criminal justice. At a speech last night, two Black Lives Matter activists took her to task for it.

Melissa Cronin · 02/13/16 10:27AMIt could be the script for the latest installment of National Lampoon’s Vacation: a kooky Henry Kissinger sips a frosty Mai Tai, a floppy bucket hat drooping low over his brow, scrolling through the google hits for the search term “am i a war criminal.” In walk the Clintons, dragging a pair of beaten-up suitcases. “Oh Henry, old pal! We’ve made it!”
Attention Bernie Bros: Woo a Hillary Voter With These Exclusive Printable Valentines
Ashley Feinberg and Allie Jones · 02/12/16 05:15PMLike so many trash fires fueled by a mix of paper-thin arguments and Bengay, the race for the Democratic nomination for president is heating up.

But perhaps Valentine’s Day could turn the tides...toward love.
Moderator Accidentally Whispers “Oh God” Into Mic When Bernie Brings Up Vietnam [Updated]
Ashley Feinberg · 02/11/16 11:11PM[Update: PBS says the moderator was responding to a producer, not making an editorial comment. Their statement is appended below.] Following an otherwise lackluster (if not borderline uncomfortable) attempt at discussing foreign policy, Bernie Sanders moved to something he actually could speak confidently about: Hillary Clinton’s bizarre Kissinger boast. But as Sanders opened with a Vietnam reference, one of the debate’s moderators—apparently unaware her mic was still on—could be heard sighing in the background, “Oh, god.”

Ashley Feinberg · 02/11/16 10:06PMRight off the bat at tonight’s Democratic debate (surprise! there’s another debate), Hillary Clinton was pressed about some of her more staunch supporters’ recent claims.
