It's been 8 days since over 300 pages of never before seen docs with evidence confirming Trump as a co-conspirator w Epstein in an underage sex trafficking scheme, inc very graphic sexual details. Yet no major media outlet has covered it since it went public. #TrumpPedoFiles

Nate… you can call me a lot of things but a liar is definitely not one of them. I know you THINK you know every thing but class is now truly in session. Pull up a chair: * The DNC started this process in May in response to the OH Secretary of State stating that our

There is a strangely popular maneuver whereby people surrender the power they actually have to claim a power they absolutely don't. These pseudo-prophets pretend they know the future and thereby give up their power to participate in deciding that future.

For all the talk about Donald Trump’s “new tone” last night, I thought it served as a good reminder: Don’t believe everything you see in the press.

Thrilled to see this incredible book out in the world! Jonathan Gienapp offers a careful and convincing refutation of originalism and its many uses (and abuses) of history. It’s a must read for anyone who cares about history full stop.

Exceptionally powerful book by Jonathan Gienapp on what he sees as the (historical) mistakes of modern "originalism"; note that this is a work of history, not politics, and it offers a new understanding of what the founders' "constitution" actually was. amazon.com/Against-Consti…
