BREAKING: Congressman Moskowitz:

“I mean it’s disgusting. There are lots of names, lots of co-conspirators, and they’re trafficking girls all across the world,” he said, adding, “I mean it’s exactly as people thought it was. It’s that. And, and, and more unfortunately.”

Breaking MS NOW:

Some of the Epstein docs the DOJ invited members of Congress to view are STILL redacted, despite promises otherwise.

Raskin says DOJ's reading room has just four computers. It would take seven years to get through the files in the current conditions established by the DOJ.
Lawmakers say some Epstein files remain redacted despite DOJ's pledge
Reps. Jamie Raskin and Jared Moskowitz told reporters key documents retained redactions despite the DOJ's pledge that members of Congress could view the full files.

Here is my conclusion after sitting through Maxwell's deposition with her refusing to answer a single question about the men who raped underage girls, saying she would only do so for clemency.

She must immediately be sent back to the maximum security prison where she belongs.

Massie indicated today that he may read the names of Epstein’s redacted co-conspirators on the floor of the House or in Committee.

If he does so, he will be protected from prosecution and/or lawsuits (like defamation) by the Speech and Debate clause of the Constitution.

These guys know what’s up.

How ADHD became a multimillion-pound industry for private equity.

NHS handed £128m to private ADHD companies last year.

Just three private-equity backed providers of NHS ADHD services made profits £31.5m profit last year.

Public money buys less.

Must expand NHS capacity.
