Now we see what the gig is: Will DOJ release the files or will they claim their lopsided investigation into only Democrats (despite Bondi’s July statement that the evidence didn’t support any additional prosecutions) means they won’t release anything.
You might not have caught what just happened on the Senate floor, but the Senate just “deemed as passed” the Epstein resolution.
That means as soon as it arrives from the House, it automatically passes the Senate (with no amendments) and heads to the President’s desk.
Wow.

We previously found that the Trump administration knew the vast majority of the 230+ Venezuelan men deported to El Salvador had not been convicted of violent crimes.
Our latest analysis reveals another jarring reality: that most of the men were already moving through the U.S. immigration system.
