I expect we would have seen them already.
4) Even without indictments, this will be a big moment for transparency in a sickening and disgusting chapter in American history. The victims and their advocates fought for years to get this information out. They deserve the fullest transparency possible.

I want to lay down a few markers here for folks as the clock starts ticking down to the release of the Epstein Files.
1) You are going to learn about a lot more disgusting and sickening things people said, joked about and maybe even did. You will likely be disappointed in someone you had admired

Not satisfied with merely filing a motion with the Supreme Court to avoid paying SNAP benefits
The Trump administration is implementing changes pursuant to the Big Ugly Bill to deprive 3 million Americans of food assistance
You can simply never underestimate the callousness of this government

Jon Stewart responds to the hypocrisy of MAGA-media previously obsessing over the baseless "Pizzagate" conspiracy theory in 2016, with their current almost nonexistent coverage of the Epstein files.

“…two showboats trying to out-detail each other, with maudlin prose dissecting a relationship that’s portrayed as tortured, but was really just between two careless narcissists.” Marisa with (let it be) the last word:
Moral rot in elite journalism is killing the whole field
The Nuzzi/RFK Jr. mess and the revelation of Epstein’s journo pals lay bare a profound moral absence at the heart of our free press.

If ICE agents can’t operate without masks and no IDs, maybe the problem isn’t California, it’s whatever you’re trying to hide.
📌 The Trump administration is suing California over its new laws banning ICE from hiding behind masks and forcing them to show IDs while they run operations in the state.

Some additional context: Of the 19 GOP senators who voted to adjourn today rather than rush a new congressional map, 10 aren't up until 2028 (so they're more shielded from the threat of Trump-backed primaries). And 2 more, whose seat is up in 2026, had already said they're retiring.
Indiana's Senate voted today to adjourn by a vote of 29 to 19, with 19 Republicans joining the chamber's 10 Democrats to defy the governor's wish that the state re-gerrymander asap.

Well done to the ABC lady reporter who asked Trump the sort of questions that reporters should ask, instead of sucking up to him.
She was the only real journalist in the room and shamed every single man in that room, including a so called President and Prince.

Epstein's survivors today spoke out again. They have stated that they are working with lawmakers to change the system that protects Pedophiles. Also they stated that if names don't show up they will let it be known. They are tired of how society views teens and rape. They are tired of threats.

Look, I understand the skepticism, but there are lots of reasons to think that Trump could be cooked.
The Epstein Files almost certainly contain further evidence that Trump sexually abused children. His coalition is already in various stages of fracturing. He’s in a very weak position.
