Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act is set to expire Thursday, and the president is claiming Saturday’s shooting proved “the safety of our nation” depends on the program.

“The International Criminal Court is prosecuting the former Philippines president [Rodrigo] Duterte for the exact same thing.”

“America at 250” celebrations rely on a national mythology about the American Revolution that only really includes Patriot and Loyalist elites. Through the eyes of enslaved people, the story of the birth of the US looks very different.
