People can say it’s utopian or dreamy but it’s a fact that you have to believe new things are possible, fundamentally, in order to make them real.

In an era of feckless, do-nothing legislators who betray us again and again, we’re lucky to have Jamie Raskin. He’s one of the few members of congress who seems to genuinely give a shit. From the impeachments and Jan. 6 to ICE and Epstein, he continues to demonstrate this by his actions.

Yes, exactly. They feel powerful enough that they can be honest about their true agenda.

LEFT: Someone who appears in the Epstein files over a million times. Epstein called him his "best friend." RIGHT: Someone never mentioned in the Epstein files—even once. And she never met him. So guess which one is being hauled before our corrupt, cover-upping Congress to testify about Epstein.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

Epstein to Trump about a 14-year-old girl in 1994: “This is a good one, huh?” Trump agreed. The FBI called this claim “sensational.” But a jury and prosecutors found the victim credible. Damning evidence that Trump knew Epstein targeted minors — and still partied with him.
