Congress, it's time to start an independent commission to investigate and make sense of the Epstein Files.
The American public demands answers for everyone named in the files and accountability for the victims. It's time.
How deep does this go? Why won't the DOJ do their job? Investigate them.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

The party that has spent unlimited resources and energy getting states to pass laws to allow citizens to openly carry loaded weapons anywhere - now believes that exercising this right is permission for law enforcement to murder you.
Honestly, how dumb do they think we are?

Nuremberg 2.0 can’t happen soon enough. Every single one of these jan 6 insurrectionists (now proudly employed ICE agents🤮) MUST be held accountable for their crimes🤬
Their behavior is utterly inhumane.
In Morristown, New Jersey, ICE abandoned a six-year-old girl on the side of a busy road after abducting and disappearing her father on January 18, 2026.
