Release the Epstein Files

The New Republic @newrepublic.com · 5h

The House speaker claims this has nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein. Then why delay the swearing in of Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva, who handily won a special election in Arizona *two weeks* ago?

This is possibly the only political ad that made me cry. If only this sort of vision, humanity, and COURAGE existed at the DNC.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Babylon didn’t fall from invasion—it collapsed under its own brutality. A golden idol demanded worship while the people suffered. Today, the horns are polished, the walls gilded, but the cruelty remains. Gold on the outside. Ash within.
