I saw some teens today. I asked them who represents them best. They told me that Gen Alpha and Zoomers are on Tiktok and Instagram demanding more and more clips of Alan Dershowitz. They can’t get enough of him. He is the voice of their generation. The voice America needs.
"elevate charismatic figures such as Alan Dershowitz"

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Senator Payman: "The more I’ve lived and worked in public life, the more I’ve come to realise that bravery isn’t about never feeling afraid. It’s about recognising fear for what it is and choosing to act anyway. It’s a choice open to us all, not just those whose names end up in the history books."
