Jamie Raskin is just simply the best! Thank you for having him on again, Jen. I especially like his bringing up Willie Horton from the 1988 presidential election run. Although the Reagan administration had already started the very dirty rethuglicon politics, the Willie Horton ads took dirty politics to a new higher level, until Newt Gingrich basically took it to where it is now.

The decency, courage, and intelligence of this man are simply beautiful and a stark contrast to his colleagues across the aisle.

Raskin is presidential! Thank you Jen for interviewing this magnificent congressman!

Can we talk about RELEASING THE EPSTEIN FILES?

DOJ nowhere to be found....

DOJ does not have time for something so unimportant as the Epstein/Maxwell files. They have to spend all their time on issuing "legal" memos to enable our convicted felon to take over other countries, kidnap their (admittedly horrible) presidents, steal their natural resources and kill people all over the world, among many other illegal things

Thank you Mr. Raskin! Keep this kind of information on the front burners. We have endless distractions that Trump and his entourage are throwing at the walls. Keep the truth and facts coming.

Why not have ads about the Jan 6th people pardoned by Trump. Inform the public !

It was so good to see Rep Jamie Raskin. He was heroic in the Jan 6th hearings along with Bennie Johnson. I am using Rep Raskin's quote from his Dad about being the hope we need. Thanks Jen for this encouraging interview!

Thank you, Ms. Jordan. He is an outstanding choice!

Jen, this should be a prominent post somewhere - you said it in your closing remarks with Jamie Raskin, and I went back to catch it so I could write it down, because I agree: "This is a privilege, to be living in a time where you can be fighting for democracy. There are not many times when so much is at stake in one generation in one year, and we should embrace that opportunity." We are making history!

There is no "Supreme Court" anymore. Not sure what you should call what we have. But impeachment of the members is the answer; win or lose we'll know who voted how. The Court is not just failing to properly handle big issues. They are insisting Correct Arithmetic, Valid Logic, and Understanding Law and Constitution in Plain English are NOT protected by at least Amendment IX. See https://usareset.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=253#p253 to start understanding the truth.

A criminal pardons other criminals, but only if it suits him. The only thing I could not "pardon" is people who continue to support/vote for the criminal who desecrates the White House and spits on the Constitution. His ego is now even larger than his bloated body.

My partner, walking past the room where I’m listening: “oh - the Contrarian has Jamie on today?” That famous voice of rationality!

Words matter and I propose we discontinue the word Republican to describe the party currently in power. To my mind the Republican party no longer exists, having been subsumed by the Neo-fascist Party, AKA MAGA and Trump cult. I remember the Republicans of old. I didn't agree with them on many policies, but I still believe most of them had a sense of decency and morality. Sadly, they must feel set adrift and looking for an anchor. Let it be us to provide a place for them to turn to.

We know where the rapists and murderers are: ICE and CBP.
