  • 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.

    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.
