Harvard Law professor Michael Klarman gave an inspiring lecture about the need for lawyers to protect democracy. I was honored that he noted the attacks and threats aimed at me. His words serve to steel my spine and make me more committed than ever to fighting for democracy.

Thank you professor.🙏

This is how Mitch McConnell should be remembered:

Without him, there’s no President Trump right now—he had the chance to convict during impeachment and end it, but he didn’t.
