He could release them now.

I hope most people realize how ridiculous it is for Trump to encourage Republicans to vote to release the files WHEN HE CAN RELEASE THEM WHENEVER HE WANTS. The whole reason the discharge petition exists in the first place is because his administration tried to cover up what’s in the files.

Trump Tells Voters: Don’t Believe Your Lying Wallets From elections to the economy, he keeps denying reality.

“In AP’s VoteCast survey of the 2024 electorate, 65% agreed that ‘Biden was legitimately elected president in 2020.’ But more than a quarter of that 65% voted for Trump. These people thought he could manage the economy. It’s clear this wager was wrong.”

Because he’s going to veto release of the files.

Because he will veto the release of the files once it arrives at his desk.

Trump knows he’s going to veto the mandate to release the files when it arrives from the Senate on his desk. He knows he will never ever be held accountable for any crimes or wrongdoing in his lifetime.

What a fine family man…

He doesn’t care because he knows he’s going to veto it when it eventually comes to his desk. He knows he’s going will never face accountability for anything.

'Could bring him down': Senator says Trump was 'clearly at center of child sex ring' With a vote on releasing files related to Jeffrey Epstein just days away, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) said this weekend that it was clear President Donald Trump was “at the center of a child sex ring,” and that the president’s behavior over the past week made it clear that the files contained “somethin...

'Could bring him down': Senator says Trump was 'clearly at center of child sex ring'

Calvin Duncan wins Orleans clerk of court race - Verite News New Orleans Duncan, a political newcomer and former prisoner, defeated incumbent Darren Lombard by a wide margin in Saturday's runoff.

a big runoff last night, in New Orleans:

Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet.

So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.

This is important context from Julie K. Brown.

With alt text.

The president of the most powerful nation on Earth is so terrified of the tales that an imprisoned sex trafficker can tell that he plies her with a comfort puppy and custom meals and is holding out the prospect of a pardon.
77 million people voted for this.

He’s putting us all in danger.

WATCH — @milestaylor.bsky.social : “The average 🇺🇸 family saved $1,600 a year from tax cuts, but spent $4,000 a year on Trump’s price increases — now he's realizing what conservative economists have known for centuries: Tariffs are taxes. And he's having to walk it back.”

“No idea” why they did an MRI? That’s your answer why they did the MRI.

I hope he and other Dems start running immediately because we’re sick and tired of giving all our attention to the current President. We want Trump’s name and face to disappear from the media and new names and faces to show up. Start now!!

Pam Bondi Hanging on by Her Fingertips Amid MAGA Firestorm The attorney general is under fire for her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Who could possibly have guessed MAGA Bondi would protect Trump at any cost?

He’s Acting Pretty Damn Guilty Trump usually acts like a guy with something to hide. But his Epstein behavior is on another level.

"Trump seems to believe there are more damaging revelations to come. He wouldn’t have cranked up the pressure yesterday if he thought the stuff we’d already seen was the worst of it. Whatever the high-water mark of this scandal is, we likely haven’t hit it yet."

Jeffrey Epstein claimed he gave Russians insight into Trump Newly released emails show the late convicted sex offender’s extensive network of foreign contacts, whom he corresponded with about Trump’s policy decisions.

All of the times I’ve wondered what Putin had on Trump, and now we find out Jeffrey Epstein was talking to Putin’s ambassador about Trump.

After Trump Split, Epstein Said He Could ‘Take Him Down’

Our deep dive into the recesses of Epstein's inbox found repeated instances of him seeking to exploit his Trump relationship. "I am the one able to take him down," Epstein wrote in December 2018. 🎁🔗 @jsgatnyt.bsky.social @nickconfessore.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/u...

Congress Is Back! And So Are The Epstein Files YouTube video by The Joy Reid Show

ICYMI: on tonight's TJRS, we broke down the failed Democratic fight in the Senate and Donald Trump’s absolute freakout over the newly revived Epstein Files. www.youtube.com/live/dtVkHSy...

Here’s the thing: Pam Bondi is not the Attorney General. She’s really not. She’s Donald Trump’s personal lawyer. That’s all.

News that the POTUS was involved with Epstein and his child trafficking is not important.

just laser-focused on the real challenges facing our military

Is there anyone on the planet who was not already aware that Trump knew of Epstein’s conduct? And nothing has come of it. The birthday card seems to have been totally dismissed and forgotten. Pardoning Maxwell is close at hand. How soon before today’s story fades into oblivion?

Jim Banks calls for Indiana to have a 9-0 Republican congressional map and alleges that "the Democrats manipulated the census data when Joe Biden came into office." (The 2020 census happened in 2020, when believe it or not Trump was president)

We had Trump’s birthday card to Epstein months ago. Nothing happened. Trump is Teflon.

New Emails Reveal Epstein Says Trump Spent Hours at His House, Knew of Conduct House Oversight Democrats released emails just as lawmakers return to Washington

🚨BREAKING: Democrats on the House Oversight Committee just released a small batch of emails purportedly written by Jeffrey Epstein in 2011 that claim Donald Trump had “spent hours at my house.” In the same email, Epstein wrote to Ghislaine Maxwell that Trump was the “dog that hasn’t barked.”
