Massie: "The president has been saying this is a hoax. Well, he's just now decided to investigate a hoax, if it's a hoax. And I have another concern about these investigations he's announced. If they have ongoing investigations, those documents can't be released. So this might be a big smokescreen."

Brown notes that the Ghislaine Maxwell's case was still active when Biden was president, and he wouldn't have wanted to mess that up with a premature release of documents.

Journalist Julie Brown, an expert on the Epstein scandal, answers a question you may have about why Biden didn't release the Epstein files.

Today, the BBC bent the knee.

Yesterday, it came out that a NYT reporter had with emails from Jeffrey Epstein in 2015 that were highly damaging to Trump and were never disclosed to the public.

This is on top of WaPo, ABC, CBS all capitulating.

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:

- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

191. Taking Stock After a Wild Week It's getting increasingly difficult to keep tabs on even the Supreme Court-related (and Court-adjacent) news. Today's issue looks at where things stand (and what to expect next) across six key topics.

From SNAP to tariffs to passports to the fate of Obergefell to the deployment of National Guard troops in Illinois to the Justice Department's "war" on the lower federal courts, there are ... just a few things going on.

Today's "One First" tries to catch folks up on the most important developments:

Senate votes to step toward government funding plan

The Senate’s deal does nothing to protect Americans’ health care. Instead of lowering costs or expanding access, it leaves families paying the price.

House Democrats will keep fighting for affordable, quality care for everyone. I’ll stand my ground and vote NO.
