Don’t buy the line that “nothing has been done.” We passed the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act — and this President gutted its life-saving programs. Yes, we must do more. But change starts with the people in power. Voters must hold them accountable and demand better.

Lordy, there are tapes… We know he’s guilty. Trump knows he’s guilty. And he’s pretty disgusting talking about women and girls as if they are property. If he weren’t in the Epstein files and if they actually exposed Democrats or his enemies, he would have demanded the release a long time ago.
