Reminder why Trump wanted to be President again:
1. Escape criminal charges for committed crimes incl. insurrection & stealing national security secrets
2. Line his pockets w/riches only made possible by being President
3. Retribution against *all *perceived enemies
That's it.

And there goes MAGA’s latest talking point.
Bill Clinton just called on Trump to release the full Epstein Files, including all documents mentioning both Trump and Clinton.
“Refusal to do so will confirm the widespread suspicion the DOJ’s actions to date are not about transparency, but about insinuation.”

In 2025, America saw the highest number of measles cases in over 30 years. That’s just a preview of what’s to come as RFK Jr continues his rollback of vaccine guidance.

In 2025, the Trump Administration and a Republican Congress rolled back much of America’s progress on clean energy, pushing greenhouse gas emissions projections by 24%.

From 2018 to 2024, the tax rate paid by eight major retailers was slashed from 30% to just 17.5%.
The CEOs of those major retailers were paid a collective $1.3 billion.
Meanwhile, the average worker at those stores was paid less than $32,000 in 2024.
Nothing trickled down.

This would have all been so easily addressed if the original damn legislation had added provisions for it. An infant just emerging from the womb could have told you they were never going to comply properly with the 30 day deadline.
You’ll recall I told you that if Bondi violated the Epstein Files Transparency Act, it would trigger a lawsuit. That’s what Schumer’s resolution does. It directs the Senate Majority Leader to file federal civil action against the government over failure to release the Epstein files. 1/

What does Joe mean that “Trump isn’t in the files”?! WE ALL KNOW TRUMP IS IN THE EPSTEIN FILES.
Also, how does Joe know that there's "nothing" in the Epstein Files "really damning" about Trump? Has he actually seen the entirety of the Files?
I can't with this.

Scarborough: "Trump is not on Epstein's list. There's nothing in there really damning about Trump or Bill Clinton. So one of the great mysteries is not what Trump's hiding, it's why if he's not in the files - which all the reporting says he's not - why is he so obsessed on blocking access to them?"

Conway has done good opposing Trump, but he still holds the values of a Republican conservative. So this would be a hard No for me if I lived in Nadler's district.
