The Washington Post editorial board decided the Epstein files have “no public interest” before even seeing them. That’s a stunning position for any newsroom to take. Praising Clay Higgins as the lone ‘no’ vote, too? No wonder no one trusts legacy media. Absolutely disgusting.

It just happened!!! The Senate just passed the Epstein Transparency Act by unanimous consent at Senator Chuck Schumer’s request.
This means the bill is on its way now—and we are one step closer to the Epstein files finally being released.

Trump says “release the Epstein files,” but here’s what most people don’t know: the President already has ways to initiate disclosure.
So if there’s “nothing to hide,” what’s causing the delay? Breaking down power, process, and why the public deserves clarity.

Has anyone else been digging through the 23,000 pages of Epstein documents that just dropped? Because I have, and there is so much in there. It’s honestly frustrating watching mainstream coverage pull a few flashy details while most people never see the firsthand sources themselves.

Healthcare costs are a major source of financial stress.
And Big Pharma uses patent abuse to keep prices high long after they should have dropped—costing families $40 billion annually.
Accountability and policy reform can’t wait.
