“It’s deflection! Release the Epstein files!”

Protestors rally in support of the DC Peace Vigil, in danger of being dismantled. It’s the longest running protest in American history.

Veterans begin 24-7 “sit-in” in Washington DC at Union Station over deployment of National Guard Soldiers to fight “crime emergency.” They call on all Veterans to join them and vow to remain for the duration despite several arrests on questionable offenses.
