this was a really powerful approach to questioning noemβ€”bringing the actual people impacted by her reign of terror. from her perch it's easy to see these cases as abstractions but she needs to be confronted with them at every turn.

Rep Luna tweet:

My office just received word from the @RusEmbUSA
 that the ambassador from Russia to the United States will be hand delivering the @GovernmentRF
’s findings on who assassinated JFK to my office. 

This is a 350 page document. 

We will be uploading these documents as soon as we receive them working with @jeffersonmorley
 to ensure that the American people have direct access to them immediately.

It is important to note that Congress attempted to obtain these files in the 90’s and was denied.  We have been given access to them now for the first time in history.

We live in something closer to what we would call a state of generalized psychosis: a social landscape where symbolic authority has fractured, shared reality is unstable, and appeals to common norms routinely fail to hold any weight.
