NEW: Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse, along with the family of Virginia Giuffre, have written to Congress — demanding members vote to release the Epstein files.

"There is no middle ground here. There is no hiding behind party affiliation."

this is the single biggest reason the Democratic Tea Party has to be real and immediate, because the party as currently constituted will not do this
something I've been thinking about if/when we retake power is we're really going to need to shock & awe the elites with accountability. hit em hard and fast. gotta break the entire system and don't give it time to regroup.
Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

Chat, is it bad if Congresspeople in your own party are calling you a pedophile?
Thomas Massie to CNN on the Epstein files: "This vote is gonna be on your record for longer than Trump is gonna be president. And what are you gonna do in 2028 and 2030 when you're in a debate … and they say, 'How can we trust you? You covered up for a pedophile back in 2025.'"

What’s more, it more or less follows from other stuff we know about him. He raped his first wife. He leered at underage girls at pageants he hosted. He bragged on tape about sexually assaulting women. We *know* these things about him. There’s no reason to doubt the thing they all add up to.
People really need to stop framing it is a question of getting more evidence. I mean, sure, that too. But we know. We all know. The president of the United States raped children. Say that. When they get mad at you for saying it, say it again and treat them like an idiot for pretending they doubt it.

the biggest lesson from the emails today is that powerful people are so unafraid of consequences for crimes as bad as “raping children” that they will just talk about it openly in emails

the only path to a better society is one where that is no longer true

I just walked out of federal court where I pleaded NOT GUILTY to the charges against me.

I will continue to stand up to authoritarianism and call this out for what it is: a political prosecution.

this should be obvious but the reason Trump is working desperately against Epstein transparency is because he's guilty

My evaluation of Garland's performance has gone from 'political malpractice' to 'evil and monstrous'. He covered up for pedophiles. No matter what standards of decorum you hold yourself to, a standard leads you to cover for pedophiles is wrong.

I’d started to wonder whether the Epstein files were a bit of a macguffin, but no no they implicate the President of the United States in a pedophilia ring—and show the entire Republican Party as well as much of the federal government has been baldly covering it up. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Lest there be any insinuation that Dems spared their own. It would be tough for Kathy Ruemmler—Obama’s WH Counsel from 2011 to mid-2014—to come off looking worse in these docs the committee Dems released. oversightdemocrats.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

even if we can't throw him in jail for it he should resign in disgrace and so should all of them

I’m sure Trump and the underage victim were just playing checkers all afternoon. Or maybe he was giving her some real estate tips.

JFC people…we have a PEDOPHILE as the current president of the United States, and more than half the country doesn’t seem to give a shit!

USAID is still gone, no other country has shown either the will or the ability to fill in the services whose disappearance is going to kill millions of people, and no one in the media or political class cares that we are going to kill more people than the Holocaust before this is over 👍
