overturn the election results. that man is donald trump s top white house lawyer pat cipollone. he sat down for a transcribed interview under oath with investigators this morning. as far as we can tell, that interview or that meeting is ongoing at this hour. punch bowl news reports this about the parameters of today s testimony from cipollone, quote, sources tell us that the select committee does not have an agreement about what investigators can or cannot ask him. prior to hutchinson s testimony the panel had discussed an arrangement with cipollone for an on the record interview, but cipollone backed away from it, sources tell us. cipollone is expected to claim executive privilege over conversations he had with trump, but there is plenty that the committee is interested in outside of that category. for example, we expect cipollone will be asked about conversations with former white house chief of staff mark meadows. the possibility that cipollone could provide gamechanging i
case, dr. caitlin bernard, the indianapolis-based physician who took care of the young girl, she s been the target of threats and smears including from indiana s republican attorney general, who said he ll be investigating her. none of this is new to dr. bernard, or to many other abortion providers. they ve been the targets of threats for years, back in 2020, doctor bernard stopped offering her services to a clinic after the fbi alerted her employers that a kidnapping threat had been made against her daughter. there is in fact a long history of violence against abortion providers in this country. according to the national abortion federation, there have been 11 murders, nearly 500 assaults, 42 bombings, and 196 artisans directed at abortion clinics and at volunteers since 1977. the threat of violence has been increasing for years. last week, tammy coleman oscar, the director of north dakota s last remaining abortion clinic spoke of the threats that her clinics have recently e

If we do not have the hostages back home with their loved ones, with us, the families, i do not think we will be able to recover and be the same society we were before october 7th. We will be resilient to face all the consequences. It will be a painful deal. We are dealing with, in my opinion, a maniacal terrorist organization, but we have to make concessions, and t
