Carney: Clinton's email trail shows disdain for transparency
Transparency is essential to a functional democracy. Congress and various arms of the executive branch have created rules to bring about that transparency. Hillary Clinton broke those rules, in keeping with her career of antipathy for transparency. This antipathy to a core value is disqualifying in a presidential candidate. And it's a trait she shares with presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump, who has refused to release his tax returns, as presidential candidates traditionally do, and for good reasons. Democracy needs sunshine in order to flourish. America is in for four years of darkness.

Editorial: Left-wing rioters for Trump
If Donald Trump wins the general election in November, he should send fruit baskets to the organizers of the left-wing unrest that seems to follow his campaign events everywhere. The rock and bottle-throwers are behaving like asses, generating sympathy for Trump, and demonstrating they share his inclination to threaten opponents and his disdain for rational debate.

Did Clinton's loose lips blow counterterror ops?
A former State Department official dropped a bombshell on Hillary Clinton Wednesday by claiming her "sloppy communications" while secretary of state may have tipped off terrorists and arms dealers. Bill Johnson, previously a political adviser to the U.S. Pacific Command, claimed that on two occasions, the loose communications policies of Clinton and her immediate staff may have allowed U.S. targets to get away.

Even the slightest kowtowing to Trump makes Little Marco look remarkably like Little Marco. Where is the logic in this?

Rubio willing to speak for Trump at convention
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio plans to attend the GOP convention and will likely run again for political office, he said in an interview with CNN. Rubio expressed his desire to help Donald Trump defeat Hillary Clinton in November, although he stopped short of making a formal endorsement. "I want to be helpful, I don't want to be harmful because I don't want Hillary Clinton to be president," Rubio said of Trump. "Look, my policy differences with Donald Trump, I spent 11 months talking about. So I think they're well understood. That said, I don't want Hillary Clinton to be president." Rubio also said it's a "safe assumption" that he would run again for political office, but he ruled out serving as Trump's vice president.

Klein: Trump has exposed Marco Rubio
In the late stages of his doomed presidential campaign, Sen. Marco Rubio declared that the front-runner for his party's nomination was "a con artist." But it turns out that Donald Trump wasn't the only GOP presidential candidate pulling the wool over people's eyes.

| On this day 10 years ago, the massive Yogyakarta Earthquake occurred on the island of Java in Indonesia, causing the deaths of nearly 6,000 people and injuries to 37,000. Despite concerns that a deadly tsunami might follow, none did. Dozens of countries, including the U.S., pledged assistance. The quake's magnitude was 6.3, a level that most West Coast U.S. cities could withstand relatively easily. But as often happens in developing countries, a lack of quake-worthy building standards made the number of casualties much worse than they had to be. |

Clinton laughs off possible Trump vs. Sanders debate
Hillary Clinton laughed at the idea of a debate between Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders, saying that nothing will come of it. "I don't think it's serious. It's not gonna happen," Clinton said laughing, while talking to Wolf Blitzer during a CNN telephone interview on Thursday afternoon. Just minutes before Clinton's interview, Sanders triumphantly announced to supporters in Ventura, Calif., that Trump "is agreeing to debate" and that he "looks forward to defeating him."

Ohio Obamacare co-op collapses
InHealth Mutual, Ohio's Obamacare co-operative, is shutting down due to major losses, forcing more than 20,000 people to choose new plans within 60 days. The Ohio co-op is the first one to close in 2016. Last year, 12 of the 23 taxpayer-funded plans shut down due to mounting financial losses and a lack of federal funding. Including InHealth, the federal government has spent $1.3 billion to set up the co-ops, which were created to offer more competition on Obamacare's exchanges.

Senators to Lynch: End climate change investigations
Attorney General Loretta Lynch must drop all efforts to prosecute climate change skeptics or risk engaging in "prosecutorial misconduct," a group of Senate Judiciary Committee members warned. In March, Lynch told Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., that the FBI was considering whether it was possible to prosecute companies or groups that promoted climate change skepticism, just as the Justice Department cracked down on tobacco companies in the 1990s. The senators criticized her willingness to contemplate such a move and demanded that she also discourage state attorneys general from "unconstitutionally harassing private entities or individuals simply for disagreeing with the prevailing climate change orthodoxy."

Lawmakers: Robot revolution is coming
Automation is poised to spark a "robot revolution" in the American economy that will see machines potentially replace humans in jobs ranging from factory work to the medical field, according to lawmakers and experts who met at a congressional hearing Thursday. "[I]f the world's best medical diagnostician is not today a piece of technology, it soon will be," Andrew McAfee, co-director of MIT's Center for Digital Business, predicted in his testimony before the Joint Economic Committee. Throughout the hearing, witnesses and lawmakers acknowledged the tension between the long-term benefits of new technologies and the possibility for social distress.

Trump to Obama: 'That's good' if I 'rattle' world leaders
Hours after President Obama said world leaders are "rattled" by the prospect of Donald Trump becoming president, the billionaire offered up a response: "That's good." "They're rattled by him and for good reason," Obama had said of Trump from the G-7 summit in Japan. "Is that right?" Trump asked during a press conference Thursday. "I love that word," Trump said. "He used a bad word because he knows nothing about business. When you rattle someone, that's good."

Senator: Taxpayer-funded solar plant lights birds, itself on fire
Energy Department officials provided $1.5 billion in loan guarantees to finance a solar thermal field that "set itself on fire last week," according to a Republican senator. "[T]he Obama administration gave $1.5 billion of American taxpayers' money for a solar field of death that kills thousands of birds, doesn't produce much energy and sets itself on fire," Sen. Dan Coats, R-Ind., said on the Senate floor on Thursday.
