This month, I've been at home in Massachusetts, the home of America, where the idea of our great nation emerged. This month, we celebrated America's 250th birthday. And this month, we've had to deal with the fallout of a president who acts more like the king we fought off 250 years ago than the democratically elected leader of a free people.

Thanks to Donald Trump's Supreme Court, political parties can now spend unlimited money in coordination with candidates for office — further eroding the fabric of democracy and launching us into a corporate-controlled republic.

This kind of unfettered spending isn't free speech. It allows rich and powerful people to have more of a say because they have more money.

Trump can't quit with the cover-ups. Let's take a quick spin through some headlines since November of last year, when Congress voted and passed legislation to compel the Department of Justice to fully release the Epstein files.
