Bingo. And if he is, so be it. But we cannot erase our President turning a blind eye to what he knew was happening, even if the accusations of rape don’t stick to HIM because of his thug like threats.

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024. Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay. The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year. Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M See the problem?

Epstein victims' lawyer: While we have seen the documents, you haven't. When you see the documents, you're going to be appalled. The American people deserve to see everything. Evil flourishes in the darkness. RELEASE ALL THE EPSTEIN FILES!

The Epstein files release adds nothing new. This is not transparency, it’s a stunt. My colleagues and I signed a discharge petition to force a vote to release the full truth because Americans deserve it. Enough of the theater, release ALL the files.
