The Week Ahead
February 27, 2026
Lots of tails wagging lots of dogs this week. Trump clearly wants you to forget there are documents about him missing from the Epstein files. But I devote most of this piece to a quiet phenomenon: federal judges, declaring war on ICE open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Ditto. What a talent and what a man. That was an amazing acceptance speech.

‘The way it is.’ He does not value anyone’s life except his own. It’s depraved.

Trump reads his statement like it’s a grocery list. Three American service members have been killed. He says there will likely be more. Says ‘it’s just the way it is.’ He does not value anyone’s life but his own.

Even if you want to believe there are reasons for these things—isn’t it striking how the mistakes are all in one direction? Not enough protections for survivors; too many protections for potential predators.

It was. Add it to Trump pocketing a FIFA medal, heisting a Nobel Peace Prize, etc, there’s a lot of stolen valor going on.

Epstein Files Are Missing Records About Woman Who Made Claim Against Trump
A woman who has accused both Trump and Epstein of sexually assaulting her when she was a minor decades earlier gave four interviews to the FBI. Summaries of three of those interviews were not released with the Epstein files. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/25/u...

Justice Department withheld and removed some Epstein files related to Trump
An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump.
📌NOTE: In lieu of NPR’s magnificent reporting that the DOJ withheld Epstein files related to allegations that Trump SEXUALLY ABUSED A CHILD, I urge you again to refer to this lawlessness as a coverup NOT an investigation.

ICYMI — Utah Republican Senator Mike Lee realized he helped Dems make the point that ICE wearing masks makes them like the cartels… so he deleted the tweet 🤡

Mayors in major U.S. cities signed executive orders banning federal agents from wearing masks and prohibiting them from using city-owned property, while local prosecutors warned that ICE agents will be charged if they commit a crime during operations. https://wapo.st/46hv8mN

Lawmakers who oversee the Department of Homeland Security say the agency has repeatedly stymied their requests for information in recent months, with even some Republicans alleging they've had phone calls go unanswered and data requests left to languish. https://cnn.it/4rLEmQZ

Melania was good friends with Epstein and Maxwell. Will she be testifying/deposed under oath?
