Epstein Supreme Court fallout: On Oct 6, 2025, the Supreme Court refused to hear Ghislaine Maxwell’s appeal—leaving the 2nd Circuit ruling intact that the Florida non-prosecution agreement (NPA) didn’t shield Epstein’s co-conspirators from prosecution in New York.

If Mike Johnson is refusing to call the House back into session during the shutdown, then we’ll do the work right here the Bronx.

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."
