I sat in the room with Mike Johnson as Epstein’s survivors told their stories. He looked them in the eyes and promised accountability.

Now he’s blocking the vote to release the files. Swear in Congresswoman-elect @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social—now.

The corrupt Trump Justice Department is trying to cover the tracks of its wrongful arrest by charging Oriana Korol with a spurious crime. She will be arraigned before a US magistrate judge this afteroon. This outrageous abuse of criminal law is going to backfire badly for the regime.
