The interior of Kristi Noem’s new billionaire-class luxury jet is complete with two bidets and a wet bar with a wine chiller. It will be purchased on our dime from the slush fund Congress approved in the One Big Beautiful Bill.

Yes, the Trump-Epstein files.
Donald Trump is so focused on putting his name on everything, so let's grant him his wish by calling them the Trump-Epstein files.
This is a massive cover-up by Trump and his cronies, and I won’t stop until we hold them accountable.

I served in multiple authoritarian countries. One common thread that I witnessed first-hand is that when autocrats assault their own citizens, their first response is ALWAYS to claim that the victims were guilty of "attacking" the state. That's exactly what DHS/DOJ does.

If you had told us then that four years later Ukraine would still be standing and decimating the Russian military, we would have called it the greatest victory in modern history.

So the Trump Administration DOUBLE-REDACTED the Epstein Files
Khanna: There were two rounds of redactions. There was the original FBI redactions… and they did a second round of redactions at the DOJ. What they’re showing members now is the unredacted version of the DOJ’s redactions—not the original FBI redactions. They’re in blatant violation of the law.
