'Some people come up to me crying': Karine Jean-Pierre calls herself a 'historic figure,' who 'cannot fail'

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre called herself a "historic figure," who "cannot fail" in recent interviews with correspondents assigned to cover the White House.

This week, Jean-Pierre gave an interview to theGrio – a self-described media network "focused on the African American community" and to amplify "black culture."

Gerren Keith Gaynor – a White House Correspondent for theGrio – interviewed Jean-Pierre for an article on the site titled: "Karine Jean-Pierre talks having ‘swag’ and the hardest job in the White House."

Jean-Pierre told Gaynor, "Ron Klain, the former chief of staff, used to say to me, 'You have the hardest job in this building.'" She added, "It is not for everyone."

Gaynor wrote, "Speaking for the president sometimes includes defending him and his record when challenged by the press or others. Though it’s a position one could easily find daunting, Jean-Pierre acknowledged that her confidence, or as theGrio puts it, her 'swag' in the role has grown over time."

The glowing article says Jean-Pierre "often spends hours preparing for briefings with her team of 12 staffers and Biden-Harris administration officials to craft messaging to White House reporters and, by proxy, the American people."

Jean-Pierre proclaimed that she is a "historic figure."

The White House secretary declared, "This is a historic administration. I'm a historic figure, and I certainly walk in history every day."

Jean-Pierre said she represents "the black community, the Caribbean community, the LGBTQ community" as White House press secretary, adding, "And it is incredibly important to me that I do that well."

Jean-Pierre said of the LGBTQ community, "This is a community that we love, and we make it very clear that this is a community that we’re going to fight for."

In another friendly interview with a White House correspondent, Jean-Pierre said she "cannot fail."

April Ryan, another White House correspondent for theGrio, said to Jean-Pierre, "You are fighting every day. How do you fight and still remain composed and fight in the midst of people trying to erase you and people trying to make you feel like you should not be there?"

Jean-Pierre responded, "Because I have to. I have to. We are so stereotyped. And I cannot fail. It’s not an option."

"It is so important for black women to lead. It is so important for us to be in those positions. It’s so important for people, other people, to see us in those positions," Jean-Pierre said at the "Black Women Lead" conference on Wednesday, according to The Hill.

Jean-Pierre asserted that the LGBTQ community is "literally" under attack.

"There’s a lot of things happening in this country, a lot of things. It is unprecedented. It is scary," she said. "We are in Pride month where the LGBTQ+ community is under attack, literally. We just mentioned all the communities that I represent: black, queer, immigrant, and it is tough. It is tough being at the podium and having to talk about these issues that affect everything that I am."

Jean-Pierre claimed, "Some people come up to me crying. Some people come up to me and just say thank you. I don’t even — some people even say I don’t even know what you say at the podium but just seeing you it’s just amazing. It’s the pride. It’s the pride. It’s the pride and never thinking we would get here.”

Putin reveals details of draft treaty on Ukraine’s neutrality

The Russian president has shown the documents from the failed peace negotiations with Kiev

Putin reveals details of draft treaty on Ukraine’s neutrality

Moscow and Kiev agreed on the general terms of Ukraine’s neutrality and security guarantees during the peace negotiations in March 2022, but Kiev then abruptly discarded the documents its delegation had already signed, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Saturday.

During a meeting with a group of African leaders in St. Petersburg, Putin showed for the first time the draft documents that were being discussed by the Russian and Ukrainian emissaries in Türkiye more than a year ago.

According to Putin, the document titled the Treaty on the Permanent Neutrality and Security Guarantees for Ukraine had been signed by the Ukrainian delegation.

The draft stipulates that Ukraine must enshrine “permanent neutrality” in its Constitution. Russia, the US, Britain, China, and France are listed as guarantors.

The addendum to the draft, also shown by Putin, outlines both Russian and Ukrainian proposals regarding the size of Ukraine’s standing army during peacetime, as well as its equipment. Moscow proposed to cap the number of military personnel at 85,000 and the number of the National Guard members at 15,000. Kiev, meanwhile, proposed that its Armed Forces have up to 250,000 troops.

Moscow suggested that Ukraine should be allowed to have 342 tanks, 1,029 armored vehicles, 96 multiple rocket launchers, 50 combat aircraft, and 52 “auxiliary” aircraft. Kiev, meanwhile, was in favor of having 800 tanks, 2,400 armored vehicles, 600 multiple rocket launchers, 74 combat aircraft, and 86 “auxiliary” aircraft.

The sides also exchanged proposals on capping Ukraine’s mortars, anti-tank weapons, and anti-air missile systems, among other equipment.

The negotiations effectively broke down in the spring of 2022 shortly after Ukrainian officials accused Russian troops of killing civilians in several small cities around Kiev. The allegations were made immediately after Russian soldiers had withdrawn from the areas outside the Ukrainian capital in what the Kremlin described at the time as “a goodwill gesture.” Moscow has since repeatedly denied committing atrocities in Ukraine.

Speaking on Saturday, Putin said that Ukraine was responsible for sabotaging the negotiations. “After we pulled our troops away from Kiev – as we had promised to do – the Kiev authorities … had tossed [their commitments] into the dustbin of history,” he said. “They abandoned everything.”

“Where are the guarantees that they will not walk away from agreements in the future?” Putin said. “However, even under such circumstances, we have never refused to conduct negotiations.”

The African delegation, which included the presidents of South Africa, Senegal, and Zambia, and the prime minister of Egypt, arrived in Moscow following the meeting with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky in Kiev on Friday. South African President Cyril Ramaphosa presented a nine-point roadmap to end the hostilities, calling on both sides to de-escalate.

Zelensky, meanwhile, reiterated Kiev’s position that negotiations can commence only after Moscow surrenders Crimea, which voted to join Russia in 2014, and four other regions that did the same following referendums in September 2022. Putin argued on Saturday that the acquisition of territories by Russia was “flawless in terms of international law and the UN Charter.” He added that Moscow had the right to intervene in order to protect the people of Donbass, who opposed the 2014 coup in Kiev.

Ukraine dropped all discussions about a possible neutrality last year and has since formally applied to join NATO.

New Details Emerge on US Government Spying on Americans

New details have emerged on the U.S. government spying on citizens following the release of a bombshell report showing that intelligence agencies have bought vast troves of sensitive information on Americans from businesses that harvest people’s data.

Over the years, private data collection services have accumulated commercially available information (CAI), which encompasses highly-revealing data on millions of American citizens, including location, smartphone, and web browsing data.

While much of this commercially available data is anonymous, it can be “deanonymized” and used to identify people, according to a recent report from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), released on June 9.

U.S. intelligence agencies have admitted to buying large quantities of this information and are able to tap it for valuable intelligence on unsuspecting Americans, per the report.

The report warned that a lack of standards and procedures around obtaining and handling this data by spy agencies poses risks to people’s privacy and even safety.

In a new development following the release of the report, Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines said that she has established a panel to make recommendations about how spy agencies can use this information.

“Given the increasing volume of data that is commercially available, I established a Senior Advisory Group Panel on Commercially Available Information and asked them to make recommendations to the Intelligence Community (IC) regarding how and under what circumstances the IC should use commercially available information, and in particular, to reflect on the existing framework for ensuring the protection of privacy and civil liberties,” Haines said in a June 14 statement.

Haines added that her office—and the intelligence community more broadly—are now considering the report’s key recommendations and working to implement them.

Growing Threat

The report represents the first known attempt by the government to carry out a comprehensive assessment of how federal agencies obtain and use commercially available data on Americans, which is often collected without their knowledge.

“In a way that far fewer Americans seem to understand, and even fewer of them can avoid, CAI includes information on nearly everyone that is of a type and level of sensitivity that historically could have been obtained” only by targeted intelligence gathering capabilities, such as court-authorized search warrants, wiretaps, and surveillance, the report states.

Its publication follows a request by Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) for Haines to review all commercial data purchases by intelligence agencies.

“I appreciate that DNI Haines kept her word to stand-up this review group and then to publish the results of their work,” Wyden said in a statement.

The report was authored by an advisory panel, whose identity has been redacted.

The key takeaway from the report is that commercially available information is an increasingly powerful asset for use in intelligence—and that it poses a growing threat to privacy, individual liberties, and even personal safety.

Even though commercially available information may be anonymous, the report warns that it’s often possible to “deanonymize” it and so identify the individuals it pertains to. This information could then be used to “cause harm to an individual’s reputation, emotional well-being, or physical safety.”

If the data falls into the wrong hands, it could easily be used to “facilitate blackmail, stalking, harassment, and public shaming,” the report warns.
