Montage of Howard Lutnick over the past 9 months constantly moving the goalposts on when the economy is going to be booming - 4Q! 1Q! 2Q! 1 year!
He was asked in March when it wasn’t going to be Biden’s fault anymore: “We own the economy in the 4th quarter!”

They’re hiding the job numbers, the second strike video, Jack Smith’s testimony, Donald Trump’s health issues and the Epstein files.

Not releasing the Epstein Files is going to become the new not banning TikTok. Flagrant, direct violation of a law that was passed and signed with supermajority support on both sides, but "the law," as it were, doesn't really exist right now

Trump’s dirty hand is all over this. They are counting on people to see the first few batches as empty or boring, it is also unknown what they’ll try to challenge in court in an attempt to omit it.
Under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, the DOJ was given until 19 December to release the files. The Trump loyal DOJ’s decision to release the files partially in batches is widely seen as a delay tactic and attempt to cool the public’s interest into the Epstein network. #OpDeathEaters

When they wanted to release the files early this year, they paid $1M in overtime and put 1000 people on it - until they realized what was in the files. Now they’re slow walking the release.

Yes, it’s illegal. Like changing it to Department of War, like ten thousand other things. Part of the Trump strategy is to break the law and convey “the rule of law is weak and feminine and laughable and should be overridden by Our Guy.” Trump is fundamentally anti-law.

Today is the deadline to release the Epstein files. The DOJ is refusing to comply.
This is about justice for survivors and holding participants and co-conspirators accountable.
