To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Democrats Oversight Committee published this new video of an Epstein’s survivor called Annie. Justice needs to be served for these women, who have been dealing with traumas for decades now. Enough is enough already, swear Adelita Grijalva in and release those freaking unredacted Epstein Files.
