Applaud Rep. Ro Khanna for Demanding the Truth

Accountability doesn’t happen by accident — it happens because leaders are willing to ask hard questions and refuse to accept secrecy without justification. That’s exactly what Rep. Ro Khanna did this week.

Standing on the House floor, Rep. Khanna publicly named six wealthy and powerful men whose names were redacted from the Epstein files by the Justice Department for “no apparent reason.” He did not accuse them of crimes — but he did something just as important: he exposed a troubling lack of transparency in how the government handled documents that the public has a right to see.

This is what responsible leadership looks like. Rep. Khanna is standing up for survivors, for transparency, and for a justice system that does not shield powerful people behind unnecessary secrecy. No one should be protected by redactions simply because of their wealth or influence.

Add your name to applaud Rep. Ro Khanna for demanding accountability, defending transparency, and making it clear that the truth belongs to the public — not behind blacked-out lines.
