Politics Roundup: Obamas endorse Harris; GOP women warn against bigoted tropes.

Friday, July 26, 2024

Vice President Harris continues to pull in fistfuls of money and has secured another key endorsement from Barack and Michelle Obama.

Friday, June 28, 2024

Julian Assange, who published war secrets and Dems' private emails, accepts plea deal

Tuesday, June 25, 2024

Julian Assange, who has long been imprisoned in the United Kingdom, has agreed to plead guilty to a U.S. felony and will return to his native Austrailia. His WikiLeaks organization's 2010 publication of military secrets helped to reshape public understanding of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The group later released private Democratic National Committee emails that the U.S. government says were obtained via a Russian cyberattack, as part of that government's effort to tilt the 2016 election to Donald Trump.
