It's been well over three weeks since the deadline set by law and they still haven't fully released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

If the GOP is going full Nazi on social media, then I expect Democrats to go full communist to rein them in. I want liberals ditching the silly quips and memes. Amplify content about the labor theory of value, seizing production, alienation, historical materialism, etc. and it'll restrain the GOP.
