I’m getting ready to pull my damn hair out listening to the justification and excuses coming out of the Trump administration about why no one—no one—is being prosecuted in connection with the Epstein crimes. And forget Trump and his inner circle for a second. How is it even possible that not a single person has been held accountable for this?
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche—who, just to be clear, is Donald Trump’s personal attorney, not some civil servant whose job is to protect the public—went on Fox News yesterday and, when asked why no one is being charged for abusing little girls and boys, smugly said, “It’s not a crime to party with Jeffrey Epstein.” The gall. The fucking smugness of that response is beyond sickening. This is a man who, alongside Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, and a whole cast of stooges, has gone to embarrassing lengths to bury what’s in those files; all to protect their boss.
And now they’re trying to frame this like it was some kind of small-time, mom-and-pop pedophile ring, like Jon Stewart said on The Daily Show last night. As if it begins and ends with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. As if there aren’t dozens—hell, probably hundreds—of other people who could and should be facing justice.
Even if you set aside, just for a moment, the people who were partying with Epstein, what about the ones who knew what he was doing and looked the other way? What about the ones who helped him recruit and traffic young girls and boys? What about the ones who helped cover it up, or used his network, or financially benefited from it? And what about the darker shit—the ongoing rumors, the scattered pieces of evidence pointing toward violence and murder connected to Epstein’s crimes? Are we just pretending all that doesn’t exist?
Then, when you do add back in the people who partied with Epstein, it gets even more infuriating. We’ve got photos of Prince Andrew crawling around on all fours with little girls. We’ve got a stack of names and images that remain redacted and protected, while the victims, the survivors—have had their private information leaked to the public by the Department of Justice. These people risked their lives to speak out, and our own government turned around and put targets on their backs while shielding the rich, powerful, and politically connected. It’s obscene.
Meanwhile, the conservative movement is tripping over itself to change the subject—desperate to talk about anything but Epstein, or the economy, or the murder of Alex Petti. We’ve got to stay laser-focused on holding these people accountable. Not because it polls well. Not because it helps one party or another. But because it’s the right goddamn thing to do.
And I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again and again: this is not a partisan issue. This is about the core rot in American life—the institutional rot—and how broken this country really is.
Republicans love to sit back and lecture the rest of us, especially on Fox or Newsmax, about law and order. They go on and on about sanctuary cities and how awful it is that Democratic-run cities support immigrant communities being harassed by ICE. But let’s be honest: the real sanctuary city is Washington, D.C., because that’s where there’s no law and no order. Not under Trump—and the issue existed long before he became president.
This isn’t just a Trump DOJ failure, even though they’ve been the most blatant and shameless about it—actively protecting the abusers named in those files. But where the hell was the Biden administration on this?
I’m still floored at how much information—credible, damning, sworn testimony—was just ignored across multiple administrations. Including accusations under oath against the current President of the United States. How was that not taken seriously? How was it not investigated?
How!?

These are some of the most horrifying crimes in modern American history, and nothing has been done. I’m pissed off and I’m tired.
The facts aren’t in dispute anymore. People in power associated with Epstein. So the defense has shifted to normalizing it and gaslighting the public, arguing over fake distinctions between “partying with him” and accountability. And the MAGA double standard is impossible to miss, because if this were any Democrat, or frankly any president with a shred of shame, a backbone, or basic empathy, we wouldn’t be casually debating this at all.
This is the fucking nucleus of what’s broken in this country. This is the entry point into all of it. We are so far gone that people with power and money can commit horrific crimes and not only get away with it, but get rewarded. Pardoned. Protected. All they have to do is slide a little money into Trump’s back pocket or kiss the ring at one of his grotesque, Great Gatsby-meets-QAnon parties at Mar-a-Lago. There is no law and order in Washington, D.C. None.
And Democrats need to stop acting like pointing this out is politically inconvenient. If they want to govern, they have to be willing to confront this head-on. Not selectively. Not rhetorically. Fully.
The Democratic Party should be the party of justice. Of prosecution. Of cleaning house. That means the Epstein files. That means backroom pardons. That means congressional insider trading. That means scammy gambling and prediction markets that are draining young people dry. It is all the same disease. Different symptoms, same rot.
We are living in an age of fraud. An age that gives most Americans no reason to believe in the system, no reason to participate. Every signal we’re sending says that their hard work, their decency, their loyalty to their communities and their families and their neighbors, means nothing. That it’s a waste of time.
And that has to stop.
So when I think about who I’m supporting for president, I can tell you right now it won’t be a Republican. What’s not automatic is my support for any Democrat who thinks they deserve it just by showing up. As I look at the field, I know exactly what I’m listening for. Who is willing to talk about the Epstein crimes? Who is willing to take on the corruption that runs through this country like a goddamn open sewer? And who is actually prepared to do something about it?
Because I’m not backing anyone who performatively condemns this without taking action. We need someone willing to step in, take risks, and end the pattern that keeps power insulated from consequences. If they’re not prepared to act when it matters, they’re not getting my support. And I hope to God they won’t get yours either.
