Hannah Einbinder on saying "Free Palestine" in her Emmys acceptance speech. "It is my obligation as a Jewish person to distinguish Jews from the state of Israel. Our religion and our culture is such an important and long-standing institution that is really separate to this sort of ethnonationalist state." bit.ly/3KlW7oN

This was a perfect investigation in MAGAs eyes - because they didn't do shit and it took a father to turn his own son in to authorities and the FBI had nothing to do with it but they claimed they solved it anyway.

He said they should be"euthanized. They should be killed."
He apologized. Good. He didn't elide the horror of what he said. Also good. Instead of calling for his head, we should now instead talk about why what he said was so awful, why three days passed before it was called out, and how it echoes tragedies and tyrannies of the past—lest we repeat them, which we, as a nation, are clearly on our way to doing. foxnews.com/video/6379403917…

We have 217 signatures on the discharge petition to force a vote on legislation to release the Epstein files. We need 218. Will the 218th (final) signature be a Republican or a Democrat? It’s time for every Congressmen to support transparency and justice for the victims.

The people know this is not a hoax (see poll), and as the survivors said this week, calling this a hoax dehumanizes the victims.

I’m no longer a Republican. I will have nothing to do with this party. All we wanted were the files released. There is NO reason for them to block them, unless they were protecting pedophiles. I’m absolutely furious and sickened. God help us.
JUST IN: Every Republican on the House Rules Committee voted to block the Epstein Files Transparency Act from advancing.
