If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign, I'm going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student.

We canāt clean up Washington without restoring integrity to the Supreme Court. Thatās why I believe we should expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices. And then, institute term limits. Because an appointment to the Supreme Court shouldnāt mean a lifetime lack of accountability.

As a historian, I'd just like to remind the politicians who follow me that it is not, in fact, 2003 anymore and the current GOP war in the Middle East is not, in fact, even remotely popular. So if you're a weathervane who just tries to do what's already popular, full-throated opposition is it!

I'll do it. I will fire tens of thousands of ICE agents. I will fly around the country like George Clooney and Anna Kendrick in that movie, just firing people all day. Except instead of it crushing my soul each ICE agent firing will bring me joy.

Hey, my name is in the Epstein files! I've told the story before, but should probably re-up. TLDR: never met the guy, never took (or asked for) any money from him, never visited the island. I was invited to the island, and said no. It's not that hard to just say no.

Reading research about the legitimacy of policing is fascinating. āThe argument that the threat or use of force leads to compliance is central to most policing modelsā¦Research [shows] attempts at promoting resident āself-controlā via coercion results in active defiance & resistance.ā

You know the anxiety you feel when you are committing a small crime, like you think you parked 13 feet away from a hydrant instead of the required 15 feet? Man, these guys in the Epstein files have none that.
