I watched the entire press conference, and I completely believe the women. This is not a hoax! Supporting the victims is crucial; there are far too many to ignore. Every Republican in Congress who chooses to conceal these files must be held accountable and voted out.✊💙

The overall takeaway from the Epstein survivors’ press conference is that they are united and are no longer going to allow rich and powerful men to victimize, silence and intimidate them. Including the ones in Congress and the perp in the Oval Office.

Nothing says "I have no reason to silence these women or fear what they will say" quite like ordering military aircraft to fly over and disrupt their press conference.

So, he's saying that he's moving Space Force command to a Deep South state with a horrible record of racial discrimination in voting during the Jim Crow era that is also the home to Shelby County of Shelby County v. Holder. Because Colorado promotes voting through mail-in voting.

🚨BREAKING #News Rep. Thomas Massie just filed a discharge petition to force a House vote on the #Epstein Files Transparency Act. This is Congress’s nuclear option. If 218 members sign, leadership can’t bury it. The DOJ would be compelled to release the Epstein files, w/survivor names protected.

A man who was being held in a Manhattan police precinct station house on Friday was found unconscious and was rushed to Bellevue Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead, according to a city official. He is at least the fourth detainee in city custody to die in a little over a week.
