Marc Andreessen says that America's strategic advantage lies not in mimicking China's centralized system but in doubling down on what we're good at:

“What if we become more like us? And what if we lean even harder into innovation, and even harder into creativity, and even harder into entrepreneurship?

And isn't there so much more that we could do if we got to be more like us?”

More than thousand HKers sing Les Miserables' 'Do you hear the people sing?' at HK international airport with their calls for free election and democracy. Here is the Ground Zero in the war against authoritarian rule. That's the reason for us never surrender.

If you don’t believe in free speech for people who you hate, fear and disagree with, then you don’t believe in free speech.

Joe Biden: "I actually like Dick Cheney... I get on with him. I think he's a decent man."

He adds that Cheney was "extremely helpful" about the "legal parameters" of the VP office. Without irony.

Mondale then says his view of Cheney is "a little bit different." The crowd laughs

Sen. Lindsey Graham: "It is spying but it's lawful if it was appropriately done. There is no doubt. They didn't do this to Clinton -- they did this to Trump. We're going to find out why."

The only news outlet that filmed Assange being taken out of the embassy was @Ruptly - a subsidiary of RT - because all other news outlets left a couple of days ago. News outlets wanting to use this exclusive footage now have to pay @Ruptly for the license: https://t.co/mXqWk3Tw8L

Images of Ecuador's ambassador inviting the UK's secret police into the embassy to drag a publisher of--like it or not--award-winning journalism out of the building are going to end up in the history books. Assange's critics may cheer, but this is a dark moment for press freedom.
