Donald Trump could release the Epstein files today.
He has the power. He simply refuses to act.
Survivors have waited years for justice and accountability.
Release the files and give them the truth they deserve.

Over 103,000 people in TX-29 rely on SNAP to put food on the table.
That’s why I’m joining my colleagues in calling on the USDA to use emergency funds to keep benefits flowing during this Republican shutdown.
No family should lose food assistance because of Republican games in Washington.

With SNAP funding set to lapse, 42M children and families are at risk of experiencing hunger.
I am leading 213 House Democrats in calling on the USDA to use contingency reserve dollars and all legal authority to fund SNAP during this shutdown.

Republicans and the Felon in the White House have shut down the government, putting vital services and millions of families at risk. While they play games with people’s lives, my office remains open and ready to fight for the people of TX-29.

Republicans and their leader, the Felon in the White House, shutdown the government instead of protecting health care for millions.
In just six days the government is set to shut down. And let’s be clear, this chaos is the Republicans’ fault. They would rather cater to the Felon in the White House than do their jobs and keep the government running. Working families pay the price.
Republicans control the House, Senate and White House.
If the government shuts down because they refuse to pass a bipartisan spending bill, it will be on Republicans.

Trump is trying to rig the 2026 election—because he knows his ideas are losing.
He’s targeting Texas because it’s a red state with leaders who’ll do his bidding. He called the Governor and said: I need five seats.
This isn’t democracy. It’s a power grab by the Felon in the White House.

Just two weeks ago, Republicans and Trump blew a $4 trillion hole in the deficit while throwing millions off their health care.
Now they're cutting $9 billion from Sesame Street, public radio, and foreign food assistance for people living in poverty abroad.

Republicans could learn something from the Count on Sesame Street.
$9 billion in funding cuts mean nothing when you just voted two weeks ago to drive up the deficit by $4 trillion—all to give billionaires a tax break they don't need. The numbers just don't add up. This is fiscal irresponsibility.
