“Ladies and gentlemen of the jury…”
You’ve seen the evidence: a Speaker blocking troop pay, stalling a Democrat’s swearing-in, and shielding the one vote that could expose Epstein’s secrets. Coincidence? Or, more likely than not, a cover-up.

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.
