Massie has pressured DOJ over Epstein file redactions and floated a “nuclear option” to force disclosure. That’s reported.

There is no verified public release of a full “client list.”

DHS bought the Social Circle warehouse for ~$128.6M from PNK S1 LLC (PNK has Russian origins).

A FOIA case exists regarding Epstein files. That shows a fight over access, not proof the DOJ is hiding evidence. If records were improperly withheld, a judge will order release.
The DOJ is hiding Epstein files

So we @democracydefendersfund.org sued under FOIA & are moving for summary judgment

It's a democracy 2 step: Art. I Congress leans in while we step forward in Art. III courts

Ukraine’s armed forces reclaimed ~201 km² from Feb 11–15 — the fastest pace of territorial recovery since the June 2023 counteroffensive and roughly equal to all Russian gains in Dec 2025. Momentum matters. www.bgnes.com/conflicts/uk...

Why should America tie its credibility to Viktor Orbán?

Hungary has 10 million people. Europe has hundreds of millions, integrated markets, real industrial scale.

There’s no strategic upside here.

Only reputational damage and weaker alliances.

Today in Geneva, Masih Alinejad will stand before the UN and ask a simple question:

Will the Islamic Republic now lecture the world on human rights?

A regime accused of killing protesters and blinding women wants a seat at the table.
History is watching.

Ukrainian drones reportedly hit “Metafrax” chemical plant in Perm Krai, 1,600 km from the border.

A methanol facility tied to Russia’s military industry caught fire.

Distance no longer protects the aggressor.

Weaponizing it is.

Ukraine’s SOF just erased an Iskander storage site and a Rubicon drone hub in occupied territory. Precision. Planning. Consequence.

Munich 2026 was not routine diplomacy. It was a stress test.
The old security order is cracking.

Trust across the Atlantic is no longer automatic.
