Senator Risch voted to keep Epstein’s files secret—ignoring survivors, deepening their pain, and protecting the powerful over justice. The public deserves the truth. His vote is reprehensible, and he must answer for why he's shielding Epstein and his network.

President Trump would rather be talking about his "One Big Beautiful Bill" and other recent wins, but the controversy over the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein documents is proving to be a distraction.
Trump's been on a win streak. The Epstein controversy could distract from it

Since April 4, #SCOTUS has issued 15 rulings on 17 emergency applications filed by Trump (three birthright citizenship apps were consolidated).
It has granted relief to Trump ... in all 15 rulings.
It has written majority opinions in only 3.
Today's order is the 7th with no explanation *at all.*

Here we go again: Over an acerbic dissenting opinion by Justice Sotomayor (joined in full by Justices Kagan and Jackson), #SCOTUS, with no explanation, grants a stay in the Department of Education RIFs case—effectively clearing the way for the Trump administration to dismantle much of the agency:

This is such an incredibly moving, important piece of work. It is something else to read an essay and know, as the words move from your brain to a deeper place within you, that it will be recognized with awards. That is not why Hanif Abdurraqib wrote this, but it is undoubtedly true.
At a comedy show, Mahmoud Khalil told Zohran Mamdani, “I am excited about the possibility of raising my son in a city where you are mayor.” It was a stunning moment, Hanif Abdurraqib writes.

I think Ketanji Brown Jackson's dissents are an important exception to the "Supreme Court dissents don't matter" rule of thumb, because she is using them not to argue with the conservative justices, but to explain to the public that the conservative justices are liars and in the tank for Trump
Ketanji Brown Jackson Is Telling the Truth About the Supreme Court
The task of interpreting the law is inherently “political.” But no justice has been this comfortable saying so in public.

Justice Jackson’s criticism is spot-on, of course. But as Justice Sotomayor’s concurrence suggests, SCOTUS’s order looks like a negotiated compromise that leaves the district court room to block future RIFs and agency “restructuring.” So the damage is limited. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...
