Sanders: The wealthiest people on earth are pouring hundreds of billions into research and development for AI and robotics. You think they’re doing that because they’re thinking, “Oh man, this is going to be something that will improve life for working people, for low-income people.”?

The Epstein files being unsealed right now are controlled by the courts, not the DOJ meaning an investigation can’t actually stop a judge from releasing records. But it can shift the narrative, muddy the waters, and frame future revelations as “ tainted by politics” or “part of an ongoing probe.”

They claim they have nothing to hide, but the way they keep dodging deadlines and slow-walking subpoenas says otherwise…
Tomorrow’s vote is about forcing the transparency the American people should’ve had months ago.
Have no doubt: I’ll be voting YES.

Let’s be clear: The DOJ has already been subpoenaed. They’re legally obligated to release the full Epstein files—and they’re still dragging their feet.
It’s a shame we’ve even gotten to the point of needing a discharge petition.

Breaking now. 🚨🚨🚨
Of course trump has now flipped and wants republicans in the house to vote to release the files.
Because he knows Blondi will not release them because of a newly opened "investigation" that will NEVER end.

A HUGE win for James Comey in his criminal case.
A federal judge orders the DOJ to turnover ALL OF THE GRAND JURY MATERIALS to Comey's defense team.
