I hope every democrat running for Congress next year will run on a “I’ll vote for the Epstein list to be released” platform. Seems like a winning message that can find bipartisan support.

Back at the scene where this story begins. Preorder now: noellecook.com/book

A hand with pink-painted nails holds up a copy of the book The Conspiracists: Women, Extremism, and the Lure of Belonging by Noelle Cook. The book’s cover features a stylized illustration of a blonde woman’s face wearing a Statue of Liberty crown. The words “Advance Reading Copy · Not for Sale” appear on the top banner. In the background, the dome and steps of the U.S. Capitol building are visible under a partly cloudy sky.

Polarization profits when we mistake parties for identity. Hope grows when we choose honesty, humility, and connection. My latest blog reflects on why trust starts with people, not tribes. Would love to hear what you think!
