The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply.
I want to make sure this is very clear.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.
This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

And this morning, Trump illegally attacks Venezuela and abducts its president and his wife purportedly to try them for drug trafficking.

Once again former Special Counsel Jack Smith proved the orange felon’s crimes including the January 6 insurrection and trying to illegally overturn the 2020 election aka sedition. It’s despicable that he was sent back to the White House to destroy us all.

The biggest divide in America today is not between “right” and “left,” or between Republicans and Democrats.
It’s between democracy and oligarchy.
The old labels — “right” and “left” — prevent most people from noticing they’re getting the shaft.

When student loan borrowers are in default, how does the Trump regime respond?
By garnishing their wages.
When billionaires see their wealth hit record highs, how does the Trump regime respond?
By extending their tax cuts.
