“When I see Donald Trump announce a bunch of investigations, I don’t see him going after these rich elites that are implicated in these files, according to the survivors," Republican Thomas Massie said on Sunday.
How many Republicans will defy Trump and vote to release the Epstein files?
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) said he expects a "deluge" of Republicans to join the Tuesday vote to release the Epstein files, adding it could be "100 or more."

The Trump regime just killed a rule protecting millions of acres of western Arctic lands from fossil fuel drilling.
It’s yet another giveaway to Big Oil — which spent $450 million backing Trump and Republicans and lobbying Congress last year.

DHS takes credit for crime being down in Chicago. Data shows that was happening before they arrived.
Immigration officials on Tuesday said a drop in crime numbers was thanks to their work. Police data show the decrease was taking place before federal agents arrived in the city.
