Dems are doing what they can. And right now they're doing something.

1/2 ‪Greg Sargent‬:

Senate Dems are invoking a 1928 law to demand that DOJ release the Epstein files. I talked to procedural experts and they laid out a scenario in which this could actually work.

@kellyromanych @GottaLaff They're definitely not the only ones who have been denied entry. Most of Maryland's delegation except Raskin (Mfume, Ivey, Elfreth, Olszewski & both senators) were just denied entry to Baltimore's ICE detention facility a couple of days ago.
