Among the 13,000 documents released, some are extensively or virtually totally redacted.

While the law permits withholding information to protect victims, obscured portions include the names and faces of numerous Epstein associates.

It’s no longer about if he’s in the Epstein files but how many crimes he committed.

If Donald Trump is OK with Pam Bondi making him look *this* guilty, the Epstein Files must have lots of outrageously
damning evidence about him.

When survivors reacted to this so-called Epstein Files transparency, they didn’t sound shocked. They sounded validated.

Because even with a law, even with a deadline, even with the entire country watching, this pedocracy behaved exactly the way it always has.

There were no drones.
No mothership.
No invasion.

Just airplanes, blurry cameras, and a political ecosystem that profits from panic and never apologizes when it’s wrong.

The Great Drone Panic: America’s Modern War of the Worlds
How a few blurry videos, a reckless claim from a member of Congress, and a right-wing media frenzy turned ordinary airplanes into a national security panic—and then vanished without accountability.

BREAKING: Democrats are now +16 on the general ballot. I don't think I've seen anything like this. Also, this is a A+ poll taken BEFORE the government botched the Epstein release today.

The coverage of the Epstein file relief by @nicollewallace.bsky.social was empathetic, caring and pointed, supportive of the victims and aghast at the approach DOJ is taking. Well done.

I expected Trump to hide his crimes in the Trump-Epstein Files with a scalpel, so we could endless debate if he truly released the un-redacted files: FACT TRUMP HAD TO TAKE A CHAINSAW TO THE TRUMP-EPSTEIN FILES TO RELEASE THEM WITHOUT INCRIMINATING HIMSELF MEANS HE MUST BE HIDING A LOT OF CRIMES

Statement from Maria Farmer: “This is amazing. Thank you for believing me. I feel redeemed. This is one of the best days of my life. Of course, it's mixed with the fact that I'm devastated about all the other little girls like Virginia who were harmed because the FBI didn't do their job. 1/
HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files:

Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.

The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.
