The historic indictment of former President Donald Trump, which includes 31 counts alleging violations of the Espionage Act, presents a crossroads. Republicans, including my colleagues in the House, can either perpetuate the former president's lies about this investigation, effectively taking a wrecking ball to the rule of law, or they can join Democrats in condemning flagrant lawlessness that risks our nation's secrets, war plans and the lives of our troops.
If they embrace the former, we will see more political violence, potentially of the magnitude we saw on Jan. 6, 2021. If they choose the latter, they give our country what may be its last best chance to escape the vitriolic vortex the former president has sucked us into over the past eight years. Now is the time for my Republican colleagues to make that choice. This is a preview of Rep. Eric Swalwell's latest article. Read the full column here. |

Not too long ago, Brandon Johnson was virtually unknown to many Chicagoans. Now, he's the 57th mayor of America's third-largest city. His path to power, fueled by a markedly progressive campaign, was pretty unusual. Before taking the helm of Chicago, he was a school teacher, union organizer and county commissioner. Johnson, who lives on the West Side, has experienced his share of some of the city's biggest issues. But perhaps one of his biggest challenges still lies ahead: leading the city amidst the numerous inherited issues including growing public safety concerns, persistent disinvestment and a downtown that's emptier than before the pandemic. Johnson joins WITHpod to discuss his trajectory, what he envisions for Chicago, how he plans to turn his proposals into results and more. Listen now. |
