Epstein’s victims have spent years fighting for justice. Pam Bondi is blocking that justice by refusing to release the 99% of Epstein files remaining.

ICE, under the direction of Kristi Noem, has completely gone off the rails and is violating the basic rights of American citizens. I will be voting NO on any funding for the Department of Homeland Security.

Today, @housedemocrats.bsky.social are forcing a vote to restore expanded Affordable Care Act tax credits for the next three years. I will be voting YES to extend these life-saving tax credits that millions of working families depend on to access quality and affordable healthcare.

I am voting to lower your healthcare costs.

I am not convinced that the Trump Administration’s recent boat strikes in South and Central America are justifiable or legal. I will continue to fight for transparency on this issue because the American people have a right to know the facts surrounding these actions. youtu.be/kgGnqMpXlZo

I just voted in favor of releasing the Epstein files. The survivors of Jeffrey Epstein deserve justice, and the American people deserve to know the truth.

Today, I will be voting NO on the Republican Budget bill which would eliminate tax subsidies that working families depend on to afford healthcare and it fails to prevent $1 trillion cuts to Medicaid and Medicare that fund our local Hospitals, Community Health Centers, and Nursing Homes.

Congressman Stephen F. Lynch@lynch.house.govNov 12(source)

Emails released by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov raise additional questions about the extent of President Trump’s involvement with Jeffrey Epstein. As Members get back to work, @housedemocrats.bsky.social will continue to fight for the full release of the Epstein files.
