I thought the Epstein survivors were supposed to hold a press conference today. What happened to that? I can't find a time or that it's even still going to take place.

Dems need to stop being spineless and just go over Mike Johnson's head and get a judge to swear in Adelita Grijalva.

Sarah Posner @sarahposner.bsky.social · 14h

So of course the weirdest and most alarming thing here is that Trump intended to DM the AG on Truth Social to order her to indict Comey and accidentally posted it publicly. But there are other very weird details within...
