Thank you
It will be hard.
But we’ll only be able to move on from this if we hold those responsible to account for what they allowed to happen here.
We must have trials.
We must have sentences.
We must reckon with the truths of America’s sins if we’re to create a new American future.

Pliant stooge

If MTG truly believes that she can run for president, she would do well to read the Epstein client list into the congressional record, then move to vacate the Speaker’s chair. Might as well go out with a bang.
