Trump sent over a deafening military flyover as the Epstein survivors spoke. He did it three times. But he couldn't stop them from being heard. And he NEVER will. RELEASE THE LIST, or they will release the names themselves.

As a sexual abuse survivor, I need to talk about my anger. I'm so angry about the government not stopping Epstein when they had the opportunity, causing hundreds more girls to fall prey to him because of inaction. I'm enraged about the cover up. And I'm furious about lack of care for young girls.

Whether you believe in prayer or not, prayers over gun violence show no signs of working. And if prayers are the only thing you offer in response to this nation's epidemic of gun violence, you're not a serious person who wants to solve a real problem. You're a sanctimonious fraud with a gun fetish.
