Rep. Adelita Grijalva said two victims of Epstein's abuse were in the gallery to watch her be sworn in: Elizabeth Stein and Jessica Michaels.
"Justice cannot wait another day," she said, referencing the Epstein files discharge petition.

Sutter must get serious and reach a fair deal now.

I see it happening like this:
FBI: "Okay, we gotta make this look like it was an anti-ice shooter, not someone aiming for detainees."
Agent: takes his boss literally, grabs a blue sharpie and writes "ANTI ICE" on an unused bullet.

From 1 hour ago: THIS is really f*cked up. Read the article and how odd, how rare, this is.
