We're talking about the Epstein Files Transparency Act, its speedy passage in the House and Senate, what happens next, and what it can and can't do in terms of redactions and withholdings, the pocket veto, and way more.

Join us live at 11 am ET or on the replay.

IF YOU READ NO OTHER PORTION OF THE EPSTEIN FILES TRANSPARENCY ACT, read this one.

EVERY SINGLE DOCUMENT THEY WITHHOLD has to be indexed, published in the Federal Register, and submitted to Congress with an explanation.

And scroll down to understand why THEY ARE NOT PERMITTED TO WITHHOLD IT ALL.
Screengrab from the Epstein Files Transparency Act: (2) REDACTIONS.-The Attorney General shall publish in the Federal Register and submit to Congress a written justification for each redaction under paragraph (1).

Here is what the DOJ has to do if they redact anything. Note the reporting requirements for redactions, which is a backstop on the “narrowly tailored and temporary” requirement above, and the required naming of public officials and dignitaries.

I'll take the win today-I cried when I saw the vote...I was in the car & NOT driving, thankfully cuz I really teared up. I was sort of surprised by that, but it WAS moving, nonetheless to me.

Omg, me too. And, I thought I would never, ever be one to say this but I am THRILLED to not have a partner nor esp now @ my age, would I be "considered" in that way. So glad. It's quite freeing, tbh.

Well, the system has been corrupted for decades since the Powell memo & we’ve been conditioned for nearly this long to realize that “engagement” was a lost cause if corporations, lobbyists & lawmakers are constantly working AGAINST the People! Throw in gerrymandering, greed, & corruption too.

Yup, not only would Epstein know about these, may have even participated too. It’s one thing to do this, but what if he & Epstein engaged in “other proclivities”, w/ each other? That would be an even FARTHER bridge for MAGA than involvement w/ boys, me thinks.

Trump isn’t afraid of the Epstein files because of girls. He’s afraid because of manhood.👇
