June 4 (Reuters) - Karine Jean-Pierre, who was former President Joe Biden’s press secretary at the White House from 2022 until 2025, has left the Democratic Party and is now an independent, according to the publisher of her forthcoming book.

“We need to be clear-eyed and questioning, rather than blindly loyal and obedient as we may have been in the past,” she was quoted as saying by Legacy Lit, part of the Hachette Book Group, that will release her book ‘Independent’ in October.

    My dad had one of those books. A book by Ben Shapiro. Didn’t read it. Doesn’t know where he got. I suspect an aipac convention. Well, he’s dead now, and all I ever got from him was, “we don’t burn books here” (to me, very upset after finding the book displayed on a guest bedroom bookshelf). My mom tells me he most likely placed these books around haphazardly. So, this explains at least one copy of one of those books.

      They print and sell them to themselves to inflate their numbers, then give them away everywhere.

        republicans do. People who actually know how government works often have interesting things to say.

          I wouldn’t say Republicans, in general. Policy wonks, yes, know thyself, know thine enemy.
