Grim called me “insane” for saying Democrats shouldn’t recruit candidates with Nazi tattoos and now that I see who he takes seriously, that take makes a lot of sense
Ryan Grim: I think the posse will find a lot useful there.
Steve Bannon: You’re an intrepid reporter, sir, and a voice of truth. Sometimes people love it and sometimes people love it less, but you’re you’re a warrior.
Grim: No doubt about it.

This means the bill is on its way now—and we are one step closer to the Epstein files finally being released.
