During an appearance on NBC's The Ellen Show, the Democratic presidential front runner played a "Who Would Your Rather" game with host Ellen DeGeneres, focusing on potential vice presidents. Clinton was shown two pictures of politicians, actors or musicians and asked to pick one as her choice for her running mate.
Both around the world and here at home, free speech is under assault. From the Charlie Hebdo massacre in Paris to the "unexplained" deaths of critics of Russian president Vladimir Putin, people who express unpopular opinions or report the truth are in danger.
Early in the 2012 campaign, when top Democratic strategists were debating how to target Mitt Romney, they worked to hone their message about him down to a single, tight, pithy phrase. According to one senior Democrat in on the discussions, they finally settled on this: "When people like him do well, people like you get screwed."
Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders dueled for support Tuesday ahead of California's presidential primary, as the Vermont senator showed few signs of backing off his efforts to boost his longshot odds for the nomination. Sanders' campaign launched a $1.5 million ad buy in the state and announced it would seek a recanvass in last week's Kentucky primary, where he trailed Clinton by less than one-half of 1 percent.
In this photo taken May 7, 2016, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks during a rally in Spokane, Wash. More than a million voters have already sent in their ballots for Washington state's presidential primary, Tuesday, May 24, 2016, but the only delegates at stake are for the Republican contest, because state Democrats ignore the primary and use the smaller caucus system to allocate their delegates to their national convention.
Worldwide, more than 110 journalists were killed in 2015, bringing the total to 787 since 2005, according to Reporters without Borders. The threats to free speech in this country don't rise to that level, of course.
In influence, we are all over the map, from talk-show hosts with audiences of millions to politicians who directly shape policy to academics who write technical papers read exclusively by their peers. We have been dubbed the "Republican Establishment" during this campaign season - bemusing to those like me who have trivial influence and are not even Republicans - but I'll use Establishmentarians as a convenient label for who we are.
As it stands now, it seems almost inconceivable that Sanders could become the Democratic nominee - unless the FBI indicts Hillary Clinton before the convention, or she reveals herself to be some sort of animatronic device sent from the future to bore us to death . The former seems about as plausible as the latter, given that Trump's nomination makes it even less likely the Feds will risk interfering with the election.
Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton won Washington state's presidential primaries Tuesday, although only Trump gained delegates. Washington ignores its Democratic primary results, instead allocating delegates through a Democratic caucus, which Bernie Sanders won in March.

Could Bernie Sanders put Mitt Romney in the White House? I haven't gotten my 2012 and 2016 wires crossed; I have a theory that's slightly more realistic than a Donald Trump presidency seemed a year ago. As it stands now, it seems almost inconceivable that Sanders could become the Democratic nominee -- unless the FBI indicts Hillary Clinton before the convention, or she reveals herself to be some sort of animatronic device sent from the future to bore us to death .
Hillary Clinton is the likely Democratic nominee for president, but one thing remains unclear: Who will her running mate be? "We'll keep switching a and we're going to pick your vice president," DeGeneres explained on the latest edition of The Ellen DeGeneres Show . Scandal star Tony Goldwyn was an early favorite, picked ahead of Clinton's opponent, Sen. Bernie Sanders.
Donald Trump has said in the past that he's "been very, very good for women," but Hillary Clinton disagrees. Speaking to Ellen DeGeneres on The Ellen DeGeneres Show , the presumed Democratic nominee for president took Trump to task for his past rhetoric against women, noting her expected opponent has been "very derogatory" toward members of the opposite sex.
The leftists who came of age in the counterculture revolutionary movements of the '60s and '70s are now in charge in both Europe and the U.S., and facing a populist backlash. They failed to learn the lessons of their own experiences, and it's time for them to be dropkicked into the waste bin of history.
Back in 1996, then first lady Hillary Clinton, accompanied by her daughter Chelsea, paid a visit to Bosnia and Herzegovina on behalf of her husband President Bill Clinton and the American people. Bosnia and Serbia were embroiled in a brutal civil war at the time, with atrocities being regularly committed by both sides.
Although The Hill calls her a reporter, Michelle Fields plays the part of a pseudo reporter with a political ax to grind. That is the takeaway from a story in The Hill .
Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders says a primary win in California would give him the momentum needed to secure the nomination and eventually the White House. Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders duke it out for support ahead of California's presidential primary, as the Vermont senator shows few signs of backing off his efforts to boost his longshot odds for the nomination.
With Hillary Clinton heading into an almost certain general-election race against Donald Trump, Bill Clinton has begun to work out what type of role his wife would play in his third administration should she win the race. “She is the most qualified person to ever run for president, so I would not hesitate to draw on her experience and knowledge,” Mr. Clinton said.
