The only explanation for why Trump is willing to take such a huge political hit keeping these Epstein files hidden is bcuz he knows what’s in those files about him is really, really, really, really bad. That’s the only explanation for this massive Trump led coverup.

This is key; the biggest thing that didn't happen yesterday is neither Trump nor DOJ stated that everything with Trump's name on it or with his image has been disclosed.
If you have nothing to hide, wouldn't that be what you would do?
Instead, looks like DOJ is continuing the cover-up, as Ryan notes

A key to understand how the Bondi DOJ may be trying to hide information on other men implicated in Epstein's crimes:
Note how Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche's letter to Congress says DOJ is redacting information not only permitted by the Epstein Act but also ... the Privacy Act.⬇️

To hear Mark Elias say this is no joke. In the context of commentators on American democracy this is as serious as it gets. This man, champion fighter of democracy, not an alarmist, filtered, passions restrained, just told us: DOJ, FBI weaponized, Republicans openly trying to rig elections. 🚨 Fire!
The old rulebook is gone. It's not coming back and we all need to accept that. The DOJ is weaponized. the GOP is rigging elections. Trump is literally bulldozing the White House.
Democrats need to operate under this new reality, fight hard, and play by the same rules.

Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)

Jeffrey Epstein? Never heard of him.
Mike Johnson sent the GOP on vacation during a shutdown to avoid releasing the Epstein Files.
Now Donald Trump plays dumb (I think) about them.
The coverup is vast and deep.

JB Pritzker and Gavin Newsom are doing something new and important: They understand Stephen Miller's theory of fascist power politics, and they've developed a theory on how to combat it. More Dems need to reckon with Miller's understanding of the moment.
