Looks like Trump will sign the bill to release the Epstein files – perhaps as early as tonight – and then he'll have Bondi insist that they can't release the files because of an "ongoing investigation" that Trump himself ordered.

The House & Senate showed up and did our jobs today. Now, it’s time for Donald Trump and Pam Bondi to do theirs.

ICYMI: Yes, we got another reason to impeach Emil Bove on Monday. www.lawdork.com/p/11-reasons...

🚨BREAKING: A panel of three federal judges ruled to block Texas from using its new racially gerrymandered congressional map in the upcoming 2026 election — dealing a significant blow to President Donald Trump’s national effort to rig the 2026 election by creating more Republican congressional seats.

Just a reminder: there was a Biden administration investigation into Epstein and Maxwell's co-conspirators. Trump killed it in January, fired the prosecutors, stole the files, & ordered Bondi to open a new sham investigation, led by a handpicked prosecutor, so DOJ wouldn't have to release the files.

The journalist who asked is Mary Bruce. Kudos to her for asking.

Pay attention to how Mike Johnson is trying to shift the narrative today - he’s saying some Epstein files can’t be released because they’re intelligence products and would harm national security.

Just the president of the United States rationalizing that a Washington Post reporter was basically asking to be murdered and cut to pieces with a bone saw because of his reporting. As he sits next to the thug who ordered it.

1. An abrupt decision by the Trump administration on October 3 left thousands of ICE detainees without access to vital medical care — a crisis that is ongoing — according to previously unreported ICE documents obtained by Popular Information. Follow this thread for details. 🧵

Seriously, folks: Just try to imagine if President Obama said "Quiet, piggy!" to a female reporter. Just try. This is not objective journalism. trump's handpicked media squad should Be Better.

In recent months, the Justice Department has filed charges under 18 USC 111 against more than a hundred immigrants, anti-ICE protestors, and random passers-by—accusing them of "assaulting, resisting, or impeding" federal officers

The scope of dirty money (terrorists, criminals, sex predators) moving through crypto exchanges is dizzying. And as this article describes, Binance - the company at the heart of Trump's crypto corruption - continues to be one of the worst offenders.

The president is a pig.

Dear ICE: They don't let you wear a mask in your mug shot.

Looking to finish what they started.

Trump claims his ICE raids are going after the "worst of the worst". But his own DOJ admits that over 97% of immigrants detained in Chicago have no criminal record. It was always about cruelty, not public safety.

Leger Fernandez: They’re going to get a million dollars because you were related to or somehow connected with conspirators? And that’s what people should be outraged about — they are treating themselves to the trough of corruption that Trump is laying out.
