Both of them have been working on following the money trail created by Epstein and all the banks that enabled him. If they can finish pulling those strings it will yank the whole evil cabal out into the open. They're being blocked from viewing the full records by the scum bags in Rump's DOJ.
And, a reminder is needed for all the people constantly harping that "Democrats don't do enough, or are bad at messaging ": the problem is the Corporate Owned McGreedia, who are all owned by billionaires. We can call them the Epstein class. Dems don't have a giant megaphone to blast our message everywhere, 24/7. And, we don't have a bottomless money supply to wage lawsuits against anyone who dares to speak out against this evil regime.
I completely understand our frustration, but constantly attacking Dems as not doing enough can discourage the people who didn't vote to just not bother. Attacking Dems for not being perfect helps the propaganda that the Guardians of Pedophiles and the Corporate McGreedia are pushing: that resistance is useless, that their hegemony is inevitable, that we should just give up. Hopelessness and feeling helpless is what they want.
We need to support our Democratic candidates, not tear them down.
Sadly, the easy way out of this mess was last November. Too many eligible voters decided to let the election go to Christofacist wanna be dictators. Now, we're stuck with doing the gut hard work of getting them ousted.
Please look for the good that the Democrats are doing and share it everywhere. The McGreedia won't. They're in the tank for theocracy and plutocracy.
