BREAKING: Epstein survivors respond to @maggieNYT and @jonathanvswan’s book revelations.

Statement from the Survivors:

Today, on behalf of survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse and trafficking network, we are responding to the release of Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan’s book and the reported inclusion of disturbing Epstein-related information that was not made public when it was first known. For survivors, this is not about politics, media competition, publishing, or book sales.This is about justice. Information connected to Jeffrey Epstein, his associates, the people who enabled him, and the institutions that protected him belongs in the hands of survivors, investigators, law enforcement, Congress, and the public. It should never be withheld for months and then revealed as part of a commercial book release.

Survivors have already endured decades of silence, delay, sealed records, broken promises, and institutional failure. They have watched powerful people avoid accountability while the truth has been selectively released, buried, or timed for someone else’s benefit. That pattern must end. If journalists, publishers, government officials, law enforcement agencies, courts, political institutions, or any other individuals possess Epstein-related information that could help expose the network, identify those who enabled abuse, or bring accountability to survivors, it must be disclosed responsibly and without unnecessary delay.

Survivors are not storylines. Their trauma is not content. Their pursuit of justice should never be timed around a publishing schedule, media rollout, or financial gain. Survivors have waited long enough.There can be no more selective transparency. No more delay. No more profit from survivors’ pain while accountability remains out of reach.
The truth must come out now.

With $300 billion, we could end homelessness, fund cancer research for 40 years, and give every child free pre-K for over 7 years. Instead, Trump is sending it to Iran. This is not America First. Not even close.

Markwayne Mullin had the FDA delete warnings about the dangers of kratom, an addictive and sometimes lethal drug found in gas stations.

Mullin holds an up to $1 million stake in a major kratom company.

That job needs to be audited to find how much money was stolen.

Y’all, not to be a huge nerd but for the reflecting pool you would need a minimum of about 8,000 liters of 12% hydrogen peroxide to reach the 50 parts per million concentration to kill algae…

Is this what happens when you have 0 scientists in your administration?

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

It's only Tuesday and Trump has fucked up a pool for $14 Million, lost a war agreeing to pay Iran $300 Billion, and ballooned his already expensive ballroom budget by another $200 Million.

Where are the Republicans screaming about "waste, fraud and abuse"?

[Jennifer Get In Good Trouble @TheJenniWren]

Trump used the Armed Forces Full Honor Cordon — soldiers who escort fallen heroes and heads of state — to usher UFC fighters past Abraham Lincoln’s statue like they’re celebrities on a red carpet. I am LIVID. And everyone else should be too.

[Veterans For Responsible Leadership @VetsForRL]

The U.S. Army. Now sponsored by Coinbase and loyal to Trump above all else. This is a fucking disgrace. Shameful.

Desecrating the place

[Molly Ploofkins @Mollyploofkins]

MLK Jr. stood here and gave his speech. And here we are today. This is so stupid.

[Josh Reynolds @JoshReynolds24]

I still am struggling to wrap my head around the fact this is actually happening…

Don’t care what your political views are, EVERYONE should be absolutely embarrassed & ashamed that this is happening at the Lincoln Memorial & White House. What a joke.

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

What an embarrassment for the United States

[Covie @covie_93]

Can we just step back and realize how messed up it is to put your name on someone's memorial in the first place???

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

🚨EXCLUSIVE: A commercial airline pilot tells MeidasTouch they filed FAA and NASA safety reports after lighting from Trump’s UFC event at the White House allegedly flooded their cockpit on approach to Reagan National. The pilot called it “10 times worse than any laser illumination event” they’d ever experienced. https://t.co/L6taUKdgbG

[Nicole Minét @mouvement33]

Oh. So. It's not just algae that's a problem. The Reflecting Pool is now leaking worse than it ever has (which was the reason Trump used to justify this entire project....the leaks) AND it appears the state of the art filter Obama had installed was not re-installed, hence, the algae in just 2 days instead of weeks/months with the filter. Because Obama is black.

[Tim @trouble_man90]

I remember during Biden, the press combed through hundreds of pages of White House visitor logs, found a guy that was a Parkinson’s specialist, then accused Biden of having Parkinson’s disease and hung it from the country.

Are they going to apply that same energy with these 22 mystery specialists??

[Congressman Robert Garcia @RepRobertGarcia]

BOMBSHELL: For the first time, we now know that Vice President Vance has been deeply involved in Epstein strategy and this White House cover-up.

He and top Admin officials have been using the situation room to meet. It’s time to talk to the VP.

[Fahad Ansari 🇵🇸 (Stop the Gaza genocide) @fahadansari]

I am telling you, every single team should pack up and leave. Stop sportswashing fascism.

[Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice]

TRUMP’s WAR IS MAKING EVERYTHING MORE EXPENSIVE AND THE DATA OUT TODAY PROVES IT.

NO PLAN TO END IT. JUST PLANS TO MAKE HIMSELF RICHER!

[Rep. Jim McGovern @RepMcGovern]

Trump & Elon Musk got rid of the USAID program that helped contain screwworms to Central America.

Now, thanks to them, our beef is being infected with parasites.

We’re all paying the price for this insane, far-right radical extremism.
