Several women who survived abuse by Jeffrey Epstein came together for a powerful PSA video demanding that Congress release all files on the accused sex trafficker.

“While we are Epstein and Maxwell survivors, we are standing for so many victims of sexual assault and of domestic violence, as well.”

These Epstein survivors are showing photos of themselves as children.

Not “barely legal” women.

Not “junior” women.

Not women capable of consent.

Children. Who were raped & trafficked and who deserve justice.

According to the email from Mark Epstein to his brother Jeff,

Putin has a picture of TACO giving oral sex to another man. The email implies Bill Clinton, but it really doesn’t matter who it is.

That’s a kind of Kompromat that would render ANYONE ineligible to hold a security clearance.

Chris Murphy on possible military strikes on Venezuela: "It's pretty clear it's just an effort to distract people from the rising prices and the Epstein scandal. No one wants a war with Venezuela ... and by the way, it's wildly illegal."

It’s kinda wild the President is openly corrupt, Nazi sympathizing, and very likely a pedophile—and most Republicans in Congress are still willing to ignore the Constitution whenever he asks.

ICE is not acting as a law enforcement agency. To do that, you must follow the law. It’s been clear for a long time…they’re not.

It would’ve been nice if Greene had realized this before she amplified and endorsed calls for executing Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.

One third of the country supported the January 6 2021 attempted take over the government & are the same ones who voted him back in. They are traitors in my book.

She is a pediatric surgeon who has performed spinal surgeries on children, running against a grownup with no spine. Dr. Andrews is poised to perform a full Lindsey-ectomy on the United States Senate.
