Great interview. Jeff's doing a great solo thing (yes, he published me, but it's still true). Talk about passion projects. Check out his mag, buy it, or his books. He clearly cares.

this is very satisfying to watch.

Mike Johnson refuses to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva — because her vote could force the House to release the Epstein Files. The GOP is doing everything they can to keep Trump's Epstein cover-up going. In 1998, Republicans gladly used Monica Lewinsky's words to attack Bill Clinton.
