10. Hillary Cassandra and Kamala Cassandra:
Tue Jun 10, 2025, 03:31 AM
Tuesday

"People often say to me, 'You warned us, and I wish we had listened.' What am I supposed to say to that? Yes, I did warn you. Yes, I said Trump was a con man, a Russian puppet, and a threat to democracy. I warned that he would end abortion rights, inflame our divisions, and botch every crisis he faced. I take no pleasure in being right. ... In Greek mythology, there was a woman named Cassandra who was blessed by being able to see the future but cursed to never be believed. She tried to warn the Trojans that Greek invaders were hiding in the giant horse they were pulling aside their gates, but no one listened. In 2016 that's how it felt."

Hillary Rodham Clinton, "Something Lost, Something Gained"
