As President Trump denies that he told the widow of a U.S. soldier killed in Niger that her husband “knew what he signed up for,” we spend the hour with Khizr Khan, one of the country’s best-known Gold Star family members, whose son was killed in Iraq in 2004. Khan famously spoke out against Trump at last year’s Democratic National Convention and continues to do so. Khan has said the U.S. Declaration of Independence is “the story, really, of all colonized peoples everywhere and in every era.” He discusses his first experience reading the U.S. Constitution as a young man, noting: “It all made so much sense.” https://www.democracynow.org/2017/10/25/khizr_khan_trumps_handling_of_call[with embedded video, and transcript]

Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ Attack On The Washington Post Will Make Your Head Spin White House press secretary gets called out for “hypocrisy.” White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders did a complete reversal Tuesday, first dismissing The Washington Post as a source and then relying on it in her defense of President Donald Trump. And it all unfolded over the space of about four hours. “And as I’ve said many times before, I wouldn’t use The Washington Post as my source,” she said at roughly 4 p.m. EDT, after a questioner cited the newspaper. “You should know better than that.” Yet, later on Twitter, she did exactly what she knew better than to do. She used The Washington Post as a source in a tweet about the latest revelations on the Christopher Steele dossier: [...] https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/sarah-huckabee-sanders-washington-post_us_59efe818e4b04917c594133a
Despite Death Threats, Former Planned Parenthood Leader Still Fights For Women Some of the same people who protested her views asked her for help when their daughters needed abortions. In the middle of the night, with her house packed with grade school boys sleeping over for her son’s birthday party, Karen Pieper Hildebrand got her first death threat. The man on the phone told Hildebrand’s husband to “start digging your wife a hole, because I’m going to put her in it.” Hildebrand, 59, was shaken, but decided against calling the police. She figured there wasn’t much the authorities could do. She was right. When she met with police the following day at the now-shuttered Planned Parenthood clinic she headed in Odessa, Texas ? a deeply conservative city in the western part of the state, they pretty much dismissed the incident. “Well, that’s the price you pay for doing what you’re doing,” Hildebrand said an officer told her in response to the disturbing threat from the previous night. “It was not a supportive environment,” she added. That was 23 years ago. Things have only gotten worse. But despite the death threats, animosity from the community and sweeping actions by lawmakers that have forced closures of Texas abortion clinics, including the Planned Parenthood location where she worked for 27 years, Hildebrand is staying put. Sure, she’s been tempted to move to more progressive areas of the U.S. where her sons live. But for now, she said she feels compelled to remain in Odessa, where she continues to fight for women’s health rights and support survivors of domestic abuse. “You can find your tribe anywhere you go ? your like-minded people,” Hildebrand said. “I have a good tribe to associate with.” Still, Hildebrand recognizes she faces challenges that are “pretty sizeable.” In 2011, state lawmakers cut family planning grants by 66 percent across Texas, which led to the closing of 82 family-planning clinics. That included Odessa’s Planned Parenthood, which shut down in 2012. The one based in Midland ? about 20 miles away ? closed in 2013. That same year, the state legislature passed anti-abortion legislation that ordered abortion clinics to meet hospital-like standards. That further reduced the number of Texas clinics to 19 from more than 40. Most of the closures were in rural and low-income areas. While parts of that law were overturned in court last year, there’s no timeline for when the shuttered clinics might reopen. Hildebrand now serves as executive director of Crisis Center of West Texas, an emergency shelter for domestic abuse victims. She also volunteers with Fund Texas Choice, a nonprofit that covers women’s costs associated with traveling to an abortion clinic. Hildebrand acknowledged that her fervently religious community would resist efforts to open another abortion clinic in the area. During her time at Planned Parenthood in Odessa, the physician who performed abortions wore a bulletproof vest. Protesters once put his face on “wanted” posters and plastered them all over town. As a safety measure, clinic employees never stayed late by themselves. In the 1990s, a Planned Parenthood construction contractor abandoned the job because of threats, stalling a remodeling project. Hildebrand was once called a “murdering Nazi” at a community meeting. Picketers would often record license plate numbers at the clinic, trace drivers’ addresses and send revealing information to patients’ homes or offices. In the worst cases, the harassment put patients’ lives at risk. One woman, who was with an abusive partner at the time, told Hildebrand her husband would’ve killed her if he’d been the one to find documents from the protesters. Hildebrand also saw hypocrisy in her dissenters. Some of the very same protesters who called for her demise also called on her for help when it was their daughters who needed an abortion, she said. “It was frustrating,” Hildebrand said of those moments. “But the basic right of that woman was what we had deep in our hearts, so that overrode any frustration we felt over the situation.” Even people who appreciated Hildebrand’s efforts were reluctant to openly support her. “There are such wonderful people here, even when I was at Planned Parenthood, who would whisper in my ear, ‘I support everything you do. I just can’t be vocal about it,’” Hildebrand said. Many would quietly write checks to the organization. These days, Hildebrand concentrates mostly on improving crisis center services for about 350 domestic abuse and sexual assault survivors each year.

Genetically Modified Salmon Is Safe To Eat, FDA Says A kind of salmon that's been genetically modified so that it grows faster may be on the way to a supermarket near you. The Food and Drug Administration approved the fish on Thursday — a decision that environmental and food-safety groups are vowing to fight. This new kind of fast-growing salmon was actually created 25 years ago by Massachusetts-based AquaBounty Technologies. A new gene was inserted into fertilized salmon eggs — it boosted production of a fish growth hormone. The result: a fish that grows twice as fast as its conventional, farm-raised counterpart. AquaBounty has been trying to get government approval to sell its fish ever since. Five years ago, the FDA's scientific advisers concluded that the genetically modified fish, known as AquaAdvantage salmon, is safe to eat and won't harm the environment. Alison Van Eenennaam, a biotechnology specialist at the University of California, Davis, who was part of that scientific evaluation, says it wasn't a hard decision. "Basically, nothing in the data suggested that these fish were in any way unsafe or different to the farm-raised salmon," she says. The FDA now is giving the salmon a green light. In a statement, the agency said that the data indicated "that food from the GE salmon is safe to eat by humans and animals" and "that the genetic engineering is safe for the fish." It's the first genetically modified animal approved for human consumption. [...] http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2015/11/19/456634593/fda-says-genetically-modified-salmon-is-safe-to-eat
Freaky-looking bug stuns the internet [...] The creature seen in the video is a Creatonotos gangis moth, a species of arctiine moth found in southeast Asia and Australia. Locally, the creature is said to live in parts of Western Australia, the Northern Territory and Queensland. It is defind by its white, black, red and yellow coloured body, which also features tentacle-like-legs. But all of those appendages have a purpose. Known as coremata, (or hair-pencils) they are scent organs used to produce pheromones to attract a mate. The males have four eversible coremata at the tip of the abdomen which emit pheromones, each when inflated is longer than the abdomen.
