Pam Bondi and 1,000 FBI agents can't produce the Epstein files WITH MONTHS OF NOTICE?!?!?

WHAT THE FUCK, PAM BONDI!!!!!

Ossoff: "There are some folks who are doomscrolling in the fetal position. Every day there is a new outrage. It's easy I know to fear that maybe we could lose our republic. I think what John Lewis would tell us is it's up to us. We have the power to right the ship. Nobody is gonna do it for us."
