Today is the deadline to release the Epstein files. The DOJ is refusing to comply.
This is about justice for survivors and holding participants and co-conspirators accountable.
The Epstein Files Act is the law, not a suggestion.
Release the files. Immediately.

Jack Smith has requested that Jim Jordan release the entire video of his 8-hour closed-door testimony which he gave this week to the House Judiciary Committee.
Will Jordan release the video to the public?
If not, why not?

Republicans fought release of Epstein materials every step of the way, are now refusing to release the second strike boat video, and won’t let Jack Smith testify in public. They constantly hide everything they are doing from the American people.

We now know Pete Hegseth was lying when he said it was Admiral Holsey who gave the order to murder the two Venezuelans clinging to the burning dinghy. It was Hegseth, whose insecurity, bloodlust, and need to impress the pedophile führer w/his sadistic cruelty, who gave the order.
