Quote of the Day
“Everyone is reading these files. The new Epstein releases are worse than anyone imagined, layers of violence, depravity, and elite protection so deep it almost warps reality. Every day brings another revelation that scrapes the edge of what the human mind can carry. It’s trauma literature at global scale. If you’re feeling wrecked by it, that’s sane. That’s human.”
On the explosive release of more Epstein files where big name after big name has been revealed.
