The only other scenario that I can think of is that the Trump regime is satisfied that it's erased or redacted any damaging Trump references, so it's OK with releasing the files. The regime's goal has always been to protect Trump, and that surely has not changed.

The Trump regime hasn't made its "ongoing investigation" claim yet, but I'd say that's by far the most likely way the Epstein files will remain bottled up. Trump could've released the files already, without any legislation. He wants the files to remain secret.

Looks like Trump will sign the bill to release the Epstein files – perhaps as early as tonight – and then he'll have Bondi insist that they can't release the files because of an "ongoing investigation" that Trump himself ordered.

Whatever power they have, they abuse it.

Total incompetence

Are you starting to get the picture?

Good news, you have power...massive power to stop #ICELawlessness & abuse.

All it takes is a call. 202-224-3121

Your voice matters no matter what party your lawmakers are from.

If your lawmaker is a Republican, they need to see you oppose this. If they're Democrats, encourage them to get louder.

Someone, make this make sense.

Trump wants to attack Venezuela because the cartel must be stopped, yet he pardons drug traffickers here at home.

Something stinks here.

Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.

Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

MAGA’s ongoing war on academic freedom, reflected in headlines from the last 24 hours.

Epstein was the most prolific sex trafficker of teen girls in history. Why is the GOP not releasing all of the Epstein Files? 🤔

NYT opinion: OPINION BINYAMIN APPELBAUM Mamdani Isn’t the Future of the Democrats. This Guy Is The picture is of PA Gov Josh Shapiro

You have to understand what pieces like this from the NYT are and are not.

They are not an honest assessment of the state of politics today.

They are a negotiation tactic—an effort by a calcified, right-leaning legacy institution to steer the discourse in a direction more palatable to elites.

A couple months back, I was curious as to how Bill Pulte was able to obtain Lisa Cook and Letitia James' mortgage documents. Today, the WSJ reports that he was actually under investigation for how he obtained them. www.wsj.com/finance/regu...

Then you pretty much have to resign. Guaranteeing safety is the job.

This hidden provision is so crooked and selfish, it doesn't even apply to US Representatives. Just US Senators.

Tell Congress: Cancel GOP healthcare cuts and end Trump’s shutdown Contact Congress today!

Tell Congress! Now is not the time to cave on Trump’s shutdown:

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.

We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.

A vote for this bill is a mistake.

I like how the caption on this photo reads as if he's making a claim that could not be independently verified.

Really, I just love a beautiful sports moment of any kind.

Trump asked the Supreme Court to allow them to starve those who can't help themselves late on a Friday night when he hoped nobody would notice.

Truly disgusting and depraved.
