Donald Trump says the House Oversight Committee should get all files it is "legally entitled to."
That phrase is critical.
I suspect he will use that phrase to block most of the files not already release now that he has re-opened an investigation into Jeffry Epstein.

Despite Trump's rollback of climate policies, major corporations like Walmart are quietly maintaining their environmental commitments. State regulations and global pressure are proving stronger incentives than federal deregulation, explains an economist. #COP30
Global companies are still committing to protect the climate – and they’re investing big money in clean tech
While Trump scraps US climate policies, companies still face pressure from states, other countries and their customers. That pressure trickles down supply chains.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far
