Last night, every House Republican on the Rules Committee voted against an amendment to release the Epstein files.
This is now the fourth time that Republicans have blocked the files from being released.

Like all authoritarians, Trump doesn’t like criticism or objective reporting. He just wants flattery. That’s why he wants to defund NPR and PBS.

1. I cannot adequately describe how unprepared the government is for this case. Abrego Garcia's six-lawyer team was there the moment the courtroom opened. They were reading and verifying documents; they were working through arguments; and they were planning. DOJ got there with two minutes to spare.

Video metadata reviewed by WIRED and independent experts shows the Epstein footage was edited, likely in Adobe Premiere, rather than directly exported from prison surveillance.
