If Donald Trump wants to release the Epstein files, he could just release them, instead of green-lighting the House resolution.
And it's not as if he cares whether he has statutory authority to do a lot of what he's been doing.
But he needs a law for this?

Just wrote an upbeat (!) Morning Shots.
I mean, if not today, when?
We should relish this moment. For a few hours. Because we should realize that these results are going to make the Trump administration even more aggressive about tilting the 2026 playing field, and we need to be ready for that.

What if POTUS decided to simply demo the entire White House, pave it over, and conduct all business from some other location.
Camp David. NYC. Moscow.
If he just allowed to do that? No notice? No permission?
The answer now seems to be: Sure.

Putin’s friend in the White House may be back in his safe space with his kindred spirit in Moscow, but Trump is finding that he has limited leverage on Ukraine to end the war on Putin’s terms.

Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.

If a D is ever elected POTUS, razing the Trump ballroom and restoring the White House to pre-Trump status is non-negotiable.
You have to tear down the physical manifestations of authoritarianism.

Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU
