The felon bombed a boat of 11 people with no confirmed drugs. Fighter jets sent during a survivor rally because he stated that it was to honor a fallen Polish soldier then calls the Epstein files a “Democrat hoax.” Survivors were silenced mid-speech. This isn’t coincidence. It’s contempt. 🚨
Imagine how Epstein's rape victims feel about Trump calling it a "hoax." In February, AG Pam Bondi said the Epstein list was "sitting on my desk." Later she said it didn't exist. In July, Trump said without evidence that Bill Clinton "went to the island." Now Trump says the whole thing is a hoax.
House Oversight Committee ranking member Stephen Lynch (D-MA) said that when Speaker Mike Johnson met with Epstein victims, his remarks about wanting justice amounted to a lie. www.politicususa.com/p/congressma...
The Epstein coverup keeps getting worse. Trump is terrified Congress might vote to release the files and is pulling out all the stops to prevent that from happening.

The Epstein scandal is a national shame, and Republicans are complicit in the cover-up. They're more interested in safeguarding Trump's reputation than providing justice for survivors. This is NOT a hoax!
I can't stress enough how much respect I have for the courage displayed by the Epstein survivors speaking out against some of the most powerful forces on the planet.
We all kind of forgot that the FBI assigned A THOUSAND personnel to pore through the Epstein files and flag any mention of Donald Trump. So what did that search produce? Anything interesting? We never found out. Might that be why they're so determined not to let the files see the light of day?
Thomas Massie predicts Trump may spend up to $20M trying to defeat him for his efforts to release the Epstein files. Massie also dismissed a question about potentially getting Elon Musk’s support.
We have the first Epstein mention from Wyden! Should have been on our bingo card.
Nobody innocent calls releasing the Epstein files “a hostile act”.
I fully support the discharge petition to release the Epstein files. Every Republican who cares about truth and transparency should do the same.
Thomas Massie says he stands with the Epstein survivors against Ghislaine Maxwell getting moved to a low security prison
Epstein survivor: We were horrified to learn that Ghislaine Maxwell had been transferred to a prison camp. She is someone who was found guilty by a jury of sex trafficking. She also participated in the abuse. She was a major architect of the scheme.
House Judiciary Republicans have held no hearings about the DOJ’s handling of the Epstein files, and today, they’re again leaving DC without getting answers. They don’t have any questions about it?
Amazing, unusually direct rebuke to Gorsuch and Kavanaugh from Judge Burroughs. She is, of course, entirely correct.

This is why California, New York and every other Blue state with a path to mid-decade redistricting must do it. They’re cheating to win. We must not let them.
RFK wants us to focus on the root causes of disease. We used to do that, we called it the social determinants of health. That was banned as DEI.
the RFK Jr breathing sounds are a rough hang

Today survivors of Epstein and Maxwell’s human trafficking spoke out, demanding accountability and justice. “Congress must choose: Will you continue to protect predators or will you finally protect survivors?” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/u...
RFK Jr. disgraces his father’s memory again by crowing about cutting HHS efforts around diversity, equity and inclusion.

U.S. job growth slows sharply in August: only 54,000 jobs added vs. 75,000 expected ADP says What happened to the “golden age”?
RFK: we have been the most proactive admin in HHS history. This is true, no admin prior has worked to kill as many people.
The Epstien cover-up alone should be grounds for removal from office.
Many argued we (ie, the science-informed) were overreacting about RFK Jr, Bhattacharya, Makary, Oz, Prasad, et al. Well, as predicted, it is a f*cking horror show. Dark Age 2.0
Epstein victims join House members pushing for release of files at news conference www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
There's something symbolic about the Supreme Court's facade inscribed with "equal justice under law" being under construction
Wyden says at the beginning of the hearing with RFK Jr: "The United States is in the midst of a health care calamity."
Republicans control the House by a 7-seat margin, but that's with four vacant seats. Does Trump really want to "take out" Massie? And the three other GOP representatives who joined him? Seems like he's playing with fire. So, yeah: What exactly is in those files?
Ron Wyden: RFK Jr. puts childen in harm's way every single day. This weekend under the cover of darkness he attempted to disappear hundreds of children to Guatemala. He calls himself a protector of children, a rich claim from someone who has flown on Jeffrey Epstein's plane on multiple occasions.
A week ago after hearing a string of sirens I text from a friend asking if we knew what was going on at our kids' school. The rest of what took place you likely know by now If you’d like to help this community, we ask you give to Annunciation Hope & Healing Fund: www.ccf-mn.org/support-annu... Thx
RFK Jr. is Ripping Away Our Health Care. He Must Resign.
Republicans wanted full transparency on Epstein right up until the moment Trump told them it was a hoax and they should forget the whole thing. Then they dutifully complied, since their fear of Trump takes precedence over all other considerations. Predators over victims.
GOP never wants to hear from the people: they are elitists
"You're killing millions of people!" -- RFK Jr's opening statement is disrupted by a demonstrator
It makes me so angry that I have to come to this website to learn things that should be absolutely plastered across all the news outlets. Mainstream media is handing out free passes instead of telling hard truths. They are failing the republic, and playing no small part in the republic failing.

Sen Wyden (D, OR) says that RFK Jr. is on an “unceasing crusade against vaccines”, and that RFK Jr.’s primary goal is to “take vaccines away from Americans”. This is correct. He also highlights RFK Jr.’s corruption in that he makes money from undermining vaccines.
Johnson cannot use the narrative that Epstein victims want to files to remain private after the victims met with House Oversight members and begged for all the files to be released. One survivor admitted to meeting Trump at an Epstein party. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory apple.news/A7-O2D1D1Ree...
Rep. Khanna: The survivors were basically pleading with Trump to release the Epstein files. For him to just say it's a hoax was so disrespectful. To call it a hoax is to dehumanize their testimony when they're reliving a trauma that they faced when they were 13 or 14.
#MikeCrapo has refused to swear in #RFKJr before the #Senate #Finance Committee--this is complicity and encouragement to lie.
I just signed the discharge petition to release the Epstein files. The American people deserve the truth — and the victims of Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes deserve justice and accountability.
RIGHT NOW: Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member Ron Wyden asks to formally swear in RFK jr. before his high stakes hearing because of what Wyden described as his pattern of lying. Chair Mike Crapo turned the request down.
Who thinks the entirety of the Epstein files should be released immediately?
Every single reporter needs to ask Republicans the following question: "Do you agree with Donald Trump that the Epstein Files are a hoax?" Get an answer on camera.
RFK Jr. must resign.
once again, when pressed on where trump gets the authority to take an action, vance’s argument is, essentially, that trump is sovereign
This is a damning anecdote from Rep Jim McGovern. He tells me that during debate over Trump's big budget bill, House Rs privately admitted to him that it would screw over their own constituents, yet they had to vote for it anyway. Read all of it. He wrecks them: newrepublic.com/article/1999...

@wyden.senate.gov: The US is in the midst of a healthcare calamity. The largest cuts to American healthcare in the history of our nation.... Families are confused. They're scared about who to trust about their healthcare. Robert Kennedy and Donald Trump have done so much to feed that mistrust
Despite decades of research and demonstrable results (e.g., measles were ELIMINATED from the U.S. in 2000), Florida plans to become the first state to eliminate vaccine mandates. State Surgeon General Joe Ladapo, announced the decision today. "Monster" is much too kind a word to describe him.

WATCH: “Everything is a possibility.” As @GovBillLee won’t rule out helping Trump invade MEMPHIS with the National Guard (for political theater), @mayorpaulyoung says his goal is to “keep the lines of communication open” — and points to a year-to-year drop in violent crime.

Note to the news media: RFK JR. IS NOT A "VACCINE SKEPTIC." He's an anti-vaxxer. He's dismantling our vaccine system to usher in an era of unnecessary deaths. Lose the weasel-wording.

Some judges say the Chief Justice should be doing more to defend the judiciary, with safety a top concern. "Somebody is going to die," one judge said. The Supreme Court has left lower court judges "thrown under the bus," another judge said.
🚨EXCLUSIVE: Federal judges tell NBC News the Supreme Court has got to do a better job of explaining emergency rulings, with frequent decisions in favor of Trump at least appearing to validate harsh criticism of the judiciary at a time of rising threats: www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

While long overdue, we applaud this bipartisan effort. Our representatives should be focused on us, the American people, not their stock portfolios. It's time to get this congressional stock trading ban across the finish line.
