Gee, no big press gathering in the Oval Office for Trump’s signing of the Epstein files bill. I wonder why not. Also wondering how closely the signature matches the one on the Epstein birthday note. Also wondering if we’ll really see the Epstein files or if he’ll claim loopholes for years.

Trump has to release the entirety of the Epstein Files. Recall FBI agents were tasked to find and scrub his name.

We also have the Epstein estate, Ghislaine Maxwell, and the survivors.

He cant escape this.

Q: Speaker Johnson is calling on the Senate to make revisions to this bill because he says it's doesn't adequately protect survivors

MASSIE: That's been a red herring all along. The survivors have always been in favor of this legislation. He's trying to save face.

Yesterday, this letter was launched by a handful of Republican senators seeking suspension of Judge Boasberg pending impeachment proceedings leveled against him by House Republicans. Anything to stop his contempt proceeding into Trump’s MAGA DOJ.

"The message is not that Trump is innocent, it's that *everyone is guilty.* Everyone assaults women, cheats on their taxes, uses public office for private gain. Propriety and following the rules? That stuff is for suckers. In a world of grift and graft, the most corrupt man should be king."

Trump’s corrupt pardons and the Epstein cover-up aren’t separate scandals—they’re symptoms of the same disease. A system that strips people of their dignity so a handful of corrupt billionaires can squeeze out a few more dollars with zero accountability.

This is real. A government agency calling Americans performing their democratic right of protest “imbecilic morons.” This Trump regime is a poison and never should have gotten power. A total disgrace.

CBS is the network that paid Trump $16m. CBS is the network owned by the Ellisons. CBS is the network that failed to push back in its 60 Minutes interview of Trump.

Of course, CBS is asking questions like this to House Democrats.
Margaret Brennan to Tom Suozzi: "Can you explain the focus this past week in the House by Democrats on the Jeffrey Epstein files? Is this a tactic to distract from the failure to extract healthcare changes?"

Bovino’s rant fits the authoritarian indicators in our assessment: empowered security forces acting with impunity, militarized immigration raids, executive overreach through federalized enforcement, and loyalty-driven ops unmoored from oversight. His tone isn’t an outlier but a symptom.
