When a Congress built to represent the people refuses to even show up, it exposes what power is really protecting. Congressman Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) argues that the fight over the Epstein files isn’t about partisanship — it’s about whether truth still has a place in public life. Across food prices, tariffs, and justice, the same fault line runs through it all: a system built to serve wealth rather than citizens.
For Khanna, transparency is the first step in restoring faith in government and holding elites accountable for crimes they’ve buried for decades. His message is simple but radical in this political moment: democracy only survives when it dares to look directly at its own rot.
