  • George, Leah, Ezra🌟

    George inspires bravery in me at least and I think it’s safe to say I’m not alone.

    We the people are So fortunate to have Leah and Ezra as leaders as well.

    See you all on October 18th!

  • No more Jeet Heer, please!

    I absolutely love this podcast, especially the Rick Wilson episodes. But please, no more Jeet Heer! He sounds like a hyena on crystal meth. He usually adds nothing substantive to the conversation and is generally annoying.

  • Great show. Abrupt interview endings.

    Loves Molly’s interviews. Very insight and probing. But the end of every interview is so jarring! Molly just completely cuts off interviews so abruptly.

  • Great pod! So important, and…

    Yes, it is a federal crime to lie to a senator or a congressional committee during a confirmation hearing. This can be prosecuted under federal laws concerning perjury and making false statements.
