If **Jeffrey Epstein** thinks you're a evil and demented sociopath, the odds are overwhelming that you are, in fact, an evil and demented sociopath.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Over-jammed and furious crowd here in Waukesha—the biggest source of GOP votes in Wisconsin—for our The People v Musk town hall. Roars from the crowd as we laid out Musk's $10 million funding of Brad Schimel. Huge cheers for Judge Susan Crawford.
