As Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s family, we commend the British authorities for taking meaningful action and treating the Epstein files with the urgency they demand.

While these arrests aren’t for the underlying exploitation, they are a crucial step toward truth and accountability.

The contrast with the continued inaction in the United States is undeniable. Survivors deserve transparency, swift investigation, and real justice, no matter who is implicated.

As bad as the GOP is right now (and it's never been worse), if the Democrats do not realize that if/when they return to power that they MUST spend years pursuing all the crimes committed, then they will be voted out of power, period.

We've had enough of the turning-the-page BS!

You've been warned.

Jeffrey Epstein helped fuel the campus culture wars The academics in the Epstein files aren’t all criminals, but they shared beliefs about whose work matters.

Take a load off your minds everyone, it was regular old misogyny the whole time

A president can be removed for misuse of the public treasury. That's fraud and thievery and has nothing to do with his job of serving the American People. He only has immunity for actions done in the service of the people.  Any state should be able to bring criminal charges against him for misuse of public funds, paid into the treasury by that state, and charge him with misconduct, and fraud of that state's taxpayers.

Vance Acknowledges Armenian Genocide, Then Deletes Post, Igniting Outrage By deleting the social-media post, Vice President JD Vance upset Armenians after a historic visit.

The Armenian Genocide is a historical fact. Vice President Vance can delete his post, but he can't erase history. His decision to ignore the facts is beyond disrespectful to the Armenian community and the millions killed in the Armenian Genocide.
