He's hiding the Epstein files for the same reason he hides his medical records and jobs reports. And it's not because they make him look good.

Arizona is reporting a 16% increase in child fatalities from infectious disease in 2024.
About 1/3 of the deaths were from vaccine-preventable disease.
RFK Jr. wasn’t in office yet, but he’s been a leader in spreading lies for 20 years, and his influence is now wholly unchecked. Trouble ahead.

Small businesses are the backbone of our economy and often the center of our communities and neighborhoods.
Especially now, as Trump’s tariffs are pushing so many local small businesses to the breaking point, let’s all do our part and shop small for Small Business Saturday.

Hey MAGA! Remember when Biden gave people a $1200 stimulus check, and you all lost your shit over it? Well, now your boy Donny wants to give people $2000. Ironic.

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.
We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.
We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

I'm worried that the next administration is going to have an insurmountable mess created by Trump. Starting with massive debt thanks to his tax giveaway to billionaires. And then gutted agencies that can no longer function.

$2000 won’t buy you healthcare in the US.
$2000 won’t give you “negotiating power” with insurance companies.
A one time payment is not a healthcare plan.
It’s time for Medicare for all.

Trump usually acts like a guy with something to hide. But his Epstein behavior is on another level.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

So it turns out that airports in the US are deeply dependent on money from the federal govt and they basically can't exist without it. Socialism, man. It's where you least expect it, but you should expect it because private businesses don't fund shit. Taxpayers do.
