To save democracy, the US needs a new presidential trustbuster to crush the tech giants just as Theodore Roosevelt did to the industrial barons
How to Save the US from Authoritarianism
In Russia’s public museums today, antiquarian statuary depicting naked Roman or Greek figures is condemned by the Kremlin as violating the country’s “deep moral traditions.” Sharing unauthorized information about Vladimir Putin’s Ukraine war is punishable by up to 15 years’ imprisonment. All things Western are cancelled.

NEW: Source familiar with the Epstein files release tells me that Congress has yet to receive the Justice Department’s explanation for the Epstein files redactions.
This is another violation of the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Sure, shitting on both parties is easy. You may feel superior saying both parties suck. But you're wrong. Only one party - the Republican Party- is a threat to our founding principles. I don't have time right now to dream about a third party. I've got to help defeat that threat.
