It was inspiring and refreshing today to see a dozen or so of Epstein’s victims celebrating, speaking about today’s resounding 427-1 vote to release the full Epstein files. But let’s remember that Epstein and his elites abused about 1000 underage women. The evil is so widespread.

When the Affordable Care Act soon goes up 100%+ as Trump cruelly cancels its gov’t subsidies, 30M+ Americans will have to decide whether to keep their health care or use that money for bills, food etc. Either way it’ll be a LOT of money taken out of the economy.
