Writing a young adult dystopian novel, building a food-forest, riding horses. My household contains four generations of family and most days we all still like each other. Lover of big ideas and democracy. Prone to quoting LOTR and Taylor Swift.

This race is a microcosm of everything you need to know about politics in the United States. Can a hell of a good politician and charismatic person beat Big Money?

Jack Smith is requesting that Congress and the Justice Dept. let him testify in public.
In new letters to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees, Smith says he wants to testify "in open hearings" because of "the many mischaracterizations" around his investigations.
