It’s clear the regime plans to stall as long as possible in hopes that public attention fades and guilty parties keep evading accountability.
We can’t let that happen. Ask your GOP lawmakers what their plan is to ensure the full Epstein files are released — in keeping with the law they voted for.

The Epstein cover-up continues. Let's keep up the pressure on Republicans until ALL the files are released.

The White House says the Kennedy Center board vote was “unanimous”…
BULLSHIT.
@repbeatty.bsky.social, a Congressional member of the board, was on the call. They muted her and didn't let her voice opposition.
This is beyond absurd, totally illegal, and a disgrace to the memory and legacy of JFK.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.
