AOC reads Vance and his whining to filth.

Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

Trump isn’t the first leader to be gifted someone else’s Nobel Peace prize: Goebbels also was given one by a recipient!! History repeating itself.

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

Ted Lieu opens by reminding us that Jim Jordan still hasn’t complied with his subpoena.
