🚨🚨🚨Robert Garcia says all 212 Democrats signed the petition to release the FULL Epstein files… but only 4 Republicans have 🤔 They claim they want transparency - yet they’re protecting predators. Just 2 GOP votes away.

Only 4 Republicans have signed the Epstein files discharge petition: Thomas Massie Lauren Boebert Nancy Mace Marjorie Taylor Greene Why don’t other Republicans want the files released?

Trump has the gall to call signing for the release of the Epstein files a “hostile act?!!” NO!!! What happened to those girls/women was a HOSTILE ACT! Enough! 1/2

As many as 100 survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and other victims of sexual abuse are expected to attend a rally Wednesday in Washington, D.C. as a bipartisan Congressional effort gains steam to force the U.S. Department of Justice to make public its controversial files on the disgraced sex trafficker.

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
