Acosta needs to be forced to testify! I agree with Michael, these testimonies and files need to be laid out for the American people to see. Let the chips fall where they may. The victims need justice!! Justice for all!

I believe there are many Americans who are seeking the truth and thank you Michael for providing that every day with your insightful articles telling the truth of this sordid mess. Unfortunately, the people that need to understand these truths are watching Fox News and right wing podcasts. They don’t want to know the truth and they will not seek out the truth. They’d rather live in their MAGA cult of lies and more lies.

We will have to start demanding that Alex Acosta be subpoenaed and make a lot of noise about it. Shouldn't Trump be subpoenaed, too?

There is one entity which is dumber then the American People. And that is at least 80 % of the current Congress. Send home 50 % Republicans and 30 % Democrats in 2026- 2028.

Michael is right as usual. But if Acosta and victims were to testify, Trumpers and Republicans might lose votes, money, and power. There is nothing in it for them to pursue justice. It's to their advantage to bury the Epstein scandal, cater to Russia, and initiate a new scandal. This M.O. works. Time for Michael to get back on MSNBC and CNN and make the obvious plain again and again...and get Harris, Walz, Obama, Liz Cheney, and others on with you. I don't know how people can stand when all they do is parse and analyze Trumpola. I can't even look or listen to clips, photos or the voice of President Trump.

Hi Mr. C., Unveiling! Today's Substack (if destiny allows for it) has potential deep political impact. While I don't mean to be a party pooper, there are more individuals to hear from. Alex Acosta served while Charlie Crist was a GOP governor and George Bush Jr. was the GOP president. WE WILL NEVER SEE THOSE FILES! Furthermore, in the age of Trump and the Nazi-Confederate Freedom Party, let's not be surprised if one day we wake up to the news that Alex Acosta had an accident. Putin style, Baron Von Shitsinpants' hero.

I'm not a very religious person. It's part of our modern-day problems, but if we ever needed divine intervention? Now is the time, please God save us all!

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the holy Ghost, Amen!

Why isn’t Trump on the list? And on the list for Russian interference?

Tariffs are bad.

But what happens when reality itself becomes optional?

What if trade policy, criminal prosecution, and even time become just narratives to overwrite?

That’s not a joke! It’s the logic of a system that no longer cares whether something is true -

only whether it serves.

How power became post-factual.

Have a look at her work!!! It's outstanding❗
