212 House Democrats held firm. 38 Senate Democrats did too. Only 8 broke ranks. They gambled with our healthcare and our trust. We’re angry—and we have every right to be. 📞 (202) 224-3121

I started Democracy Docket in 2020 to be unapologetically pro-democracy. It will never back down. It doesn’t seek compromise or half measures. It has no corporate overlords or venture capitalists. It relies only on you. Support it now. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

An independent prosecutor should look into Pam Bondi withholding information re the Epstein Files.
If she is hiding something or deliberately withholding information relating to crimes against children, she has to be prosecuted for obstruction of justice.
