Seeing her become the supervillain of the Epstein coverup is more jarring than when a Marvel actor gets cast in a DC role.

I'm too tired to cross check this list against pro-crypto Dems so I'm just going to guess 9/10
These 20 House Democrats just joined Republicans in voting to fully repeal DC's police reform laws.
Wiping off the books critical laws on use of force, transparency, and preventing violent cops from getting rehired.
They think that they should have more say over DC police than the people of DC.
