so . . . is the White House plan to rely on the Senate to filibuster the release of the Epstein files, or is he thinking he'll sign the bill, but then DOJ will say they can't release anything because there is an active investigation.

How worried is Trump about the Epstein files? Worried enough that Speaker Johnson was sent out to float the preposterous notion that any appearance of Trump in the materials is the result of his being an FBI informer. (BTW, head of the FBI at the time was Mueller.)

Trump desperately wants the Nobel Peace Prize. (I'm surprised he hasn't posted a fake one yet.) Somehow I don't think starting a war and then stopping it is the best approach.

Trump and DOGE are losing 85% of the time in court. MAGA Reps ask why a single district judge should be able to make a decision for the whole country. But the operative question is why a single President should be able to ignore laws passed by Congress and signed into law by Presidents.
