The survivors and their lawyers have been clear—follow the money.
That is why the next set of subpoenas coming out of the @oversightdemocrats.house.gov must be the financial records involving Jeffrey Epstein.
We are leaving no stone unturned in this case.

I’ve now aged out of this but navigating the pestering attention of older men in my field—which varied from manipulative flattery when they were trying to sleep with you to contemptuous retaliation when they realized they couldn’t—was an exhausting and demoralizing tax of my early professional life.
Keep coming back to Summers’ annoyance that this female mentee he’s trying to sleep with “takes her presentation very seriously.” To men like this—to a lot of men—women’s intellectual or professional ambition is an irritating presumption that they condescend to tolerate.
The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

Honestly the most annoying thing about identity politics discourse is that Dems get blamed for doing identity politics while Trump's whole thing is 100% identity politics, it's just that since it's rural white identity it doesn't count to most people

Barrasso won't commit to holding a Senate vote on an Epstein files measure and says, "this is not about truth, this is about an attempt by the Democrats to make President Trump a lame duck president and I'm not gonna aid and abet them in their effort to do that."

This is a documented case of public man-made death. Why? Because a government dismantled oversight, purged experts, and ruled by decree, all things our assessment highlights.
