Survivors of Epstein's abuse are going up against some of the most powerful institutions and people. It's dangerous, so we cannot drop the ball here. For them and for other survivors of abuse and sex trafficking.
We must continue to fight as hard as we can for justice.

Instead of using this money to fund, say, the National Weather Service right before hurricane season, they're using it to send Marines to Los Angeles.

We wanted to know if this is what the State Department normally does. Turns out no.

It’s not just Gambia.
We got internal cables, notes and other records that show how U.S. diplomats have intervened on behalf of Starlink in at least four other developing nations. All while the U.S. has withdrawn foreign aid from those same countries.
