Is there an objection? Without objection, so ordered.

0:04.3

The Senate has now passed the Epstein bill as soon as it comes over from the House.

0:13.4

Wow, Senate Democrats just outmaneuvered the MAGA Republicans, and they just passed the Epstein bill by unanimous consent in the Senate.

0:23.8
