Everyone knows they released those unredacted Epstein Files with victims names so they can say they "need more time" to redact and release more right? It was to "prove" their point that releasing the files doesn't protect the victims. And everyone is falling for it because of they are.

#Indiana Legislators are rushing a special session on redistricting: House hearings expected Tues, Dec. 2; Senate hearings on Tues the 9th. They may not allow time for everyone to testify, or may try to shut public comment down altogether. Share your testimony here: secure.ngpvan.com/g2gLE0zNgEWK...
This isn’t normal redistricting after the census — it’s an early, mid-decade power grab
to redraw Indiana’s Congressional maps years ahead of schedule so politicians can pick
their voters instead of voters choosing their leaders.
