The #PandoraPapers is an investigation based on more than 11.9 million documents.
It exposes more than twice as many account holders and twice as many public officials as the Panama Papers did. https://t.co/B7qrGmlS9m
The files detail the offshore activities of more than 29,000 accounts.
Among them: More than 130 Forbes list billionaires and over 330 public officials around the globe. https://t.co/B7qrGmlS9m

- avoid summarily demonizing people
- have a measured, good-faith interpretation of other people's potentially good-faith “rational” motivations/actions

This is an incredibly bizarre statement. When asked why sex assault victims who get pregnant have to carry to term under TX law, first Abbott says they have 6 weeks to get abortion, then says he is going to eliminate rape by arresting all future rapists. pic.twitter.com/OYFH11xT1G
