A man claims his grandmother in Colombia—a former housekeeper at Epstein’s Manhattan home—kept hidden memory cards, photos, and tapes when she was fired. He says it includes child abuse evidence, and both ABC and Fox refused to release it. If true, she may be holding what investigators searched for.

The American government is afraid of 9 year olds. America will pay for these acts of cruelty for generations. People around the globe that once saw America as the beacon of freedom will now see the USA as a cruel nation attacking families in the name of border security. We are diminished.

BS! All paid, ANTIFA card carrying, vicious volunteers paid by Hollywood elites via George Soros from his secret lair.
New reporting by Democracy Docket suggests that Patriot Grassroots’ canvassers also crossed a line in Missouri, where volunteers gathering signatures to put a GOP-backed gerrymander to a statewide vote said they were harassed by out-of-state paid agitators.

All part of the GOP’s nefarious plans to keep working Americans in debt, working for poor wages, and dependent upon the wealthy for a meager subsistence with declining outcomes.
Republicans keep coming after Obamacare no matter how many times analysts point out that their changes are likely to result in fewer people insured and higher costs for people who get sick. Because they're cool with that.

Prosecute, on a state level, the federal officials obfuscating and deliberately withholding evidence to Pretti’s murder.
On the day of the shooting, DHS officials blocked local police from accessing the scene, even though the MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension had a warrant signed by a judge enabling access. Today DHS is blocking MN BCS access to evidence needed to bring the case to trial. youtu.be/F_qC2HAni3c?...

Children’s drawings are being confiscated because they detail the horrors of GOP policies through the very innocence of their art. America is diminished every second the GOP holds power.
ProPublica published children's letters and drawings documenting their sadness and suffering at Dilley. And Dilley staff are now retaliating by confiscating kids' letters and drawings.

This is why we have to vote. The GOP is the party of the powerful. The powerful do not have the law applied to their actions and their abuse is subsidized with our tax dollars. Vote like your life depends upon your vote, because it does.
Rather than turn former Honduran President Hernández over to immigration officials when he was released from prison just four years into a 45-year sentence for allowing traffickers to export more than 400 tons of cocaine to the U.S, the Trump administration paid to transport him to a posh NYC hotel.
