Epstein survivors say they’re compiling their own client list. “We know who abused us. We saw who came and went. This list will be survivor-led—for survivors”
Blake Gendebien (@blakegendebien.bsky.social) reposted
Unlike Elise Stefanik, I stand with the survivors of Epstein and Maxwell’s horrific crimes. She refuses to sign onto a discharge petition to release the files. If I were in Congress, I would sign on and demand their release.
Peggy (@peggybishop.bsky.social) reply parent
Of course they didn't cover such an important event. Cover up! What does it tell you when they don't want to bring out the Epstein files? Threaten the GOP who sign the bill. Flyover at the press conference. Guy with bullhorn. Just a big old cover up. Bring out the files. Hold people accountable!

Trump on what he's doing stop Russia's war on Ukraine: "We have stopped the money. We send weapons to NATO. They pay full price." (In other words he's trying to compel Ukraine to surrender but not Russia to stop the violence.)

Watching the Epstein press conference w/Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie on the Ro Khanna channel on Youtube. Not because I want to hear the horrible stories, but because it is IMPORTANT! My mom called as she does at this time of day She asked if I'm watching. Yes! She said she is too. Call her later! 💗

Trump threatening members of Congress not to sign the Epstein files discharge petition saying it would be a “hostile act” against him is definitely something an innocent person would do. And scheduling a military flyover in the middle of the survivor press conference is also totally normal behavior.

So our military just bombed a boat in international waters and extrajudicially killed suspected drug traffickers without so much as a conversation, let alone a trial? Then posted it on social media? And we’re all supposed to just trust their account?

This feels very reminiscent of Kim Jong Un who periodically disappears from the public eye, generating questions about his health, just before he comes back a few days later. Now that we know Trump isn't dying, there is no reason not to release the Epstein Files.
