Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta.
Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.

Republicans don’t care if we die. They have consistently tried to demolish the ACA while having NO healthcare plan to replace it.
Now insurance premiums are about to skyrocket thanks to them.

If Indiana legislators hold firm on their conscience today, it will among other things be a much-needed rejection of the idea that you can get your way on policy through bullying, intimidation, and threats.

The Center for Biological Diversity is Under Attack
This “investigation” doesn’t name a single unlawful act, because there are none. The real corruption they should be investigating is Twin Metals and its Chilean parent company, Antofagasta plc.
