Since then, Gabby has turned that tragedy into action as one of the most impactful leaders in our fight to end gun violence.

She is my hero.

OK? But apparently you do get to avoid justice for drug trafficking in the US if you’re a foreign head of state with ties to Trump’s inner circle..."

Yesterday was the deadline to provide Congress with a full explanation of the Epstein Files redactions... The DOJ failed to comply with the law, again.
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.
