Trump Freaks Out Over Epstein Files and Newsom Roasts Him Globally, While Gallego Drops A “Gift” At Mike Johnson’s Door and Grijalva Slams Him On House Floor

The walls are closing in

While Trump becomes more unhinged daily, I’m glad to have more great news for you today. I hope it gives you some relief from his madness—even if just for a moment.

Thanks for being here. Let’s jump in.

NEWSOM KEEPS SLAMMING TRUMP AT UN SUMMIT

As we’ve covered over the last week, CA Gov. Gavin Newsom is in Brazil essentially replacing Trump at the UN Climate Summit. Newsom has been constantly swarmed by the Press, activists, and other delegates, as he’s welcomed with fanfare normally reserved for heads of state.

While speaking to a packed room of elected officials from around the world, Newsom once again laid into Trump. “He wants to bring us back and ... try to recreate the 19th century,” Newsom said. “They’re doubling down on stupid ... This idea that somehow we can ... put up tariffs, we put up our middle fingers and just turn our back, is lunacy.”

Newsom added: “Trump is temporary—and I hope folks around the globe remember that. He will be remembered in years, not in decades.” Absolutely right.

NEWLY RELEASED EPSTEIN EMAILS

The House Oversight Committee released thousands of emails from and related to their Epstein investigation yesterday. Several of them mention Trump directly.

In one of the emails from April 2, 2011, Epstein wrote to Ghislaine Maxwell: “I want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is trump. [Victim name redacted] spent hours at my house with him.” Maxwell replied: “I have been thinking about that…”

Ranking Member of the Oversight Committee, Dem Rep. Robert Garcia, stated: “The more Donald Trump tries to cover-up the Epstein files, the more we uncover … These latest emails … raise glaring questions about what else the White House is hiding.”

TRUMP FREAKS OUT

After the new batch of emails were released, the Trump regime went into full panic mode—launching an intense pressure campaign to bully GOP Reps. Nancy Mace and Lauren Boebert into removing their signatures from the Epstein files discharge petition.

It was such an urgent matter that they called Boebert in for a meeting with AG Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel in the White House Situation Room. Trump also spoke directly with Boebert and tried calling Mace, but couldn’t reach her.

It all failed miserably, as Mace and Boebert refused to remove their names. I’ve said it countless times: this scandal warrants Trump’s resignation or removal from office. I know the votes aren’t there, but it needs to be said.

GRIJALVA SWORN IN

After fifty days of waiting, Rep. Adelita Grijalva was finally sworn in to represent Arizona’s 7th Congressional District on Wednesday.

During her first speech on the House floor, Grijalva slammed Mike Johnson’s “abuse of power” for stalling her swearing in. “One individual should not be able to unilaterally obstruct the swearing in of a duly elected Member of Congress for a political reason,” Grijalva said.

Immediately after being sworn in, Grijalva became the 218th signature on the Epstein files discharge petition. A House vote on the release of the Epstein files is now set for next week.

GALLEGO GIVES “GIFT” TO MIKE JOHNSON

Dem Sen. Ruben Gallego delivered a “gift” to Mike Johnson’s office this week. It was a copy of Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous account of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse, titled “Nobody’s Girl.”

“This guy Speaker Johnson, and other Republicans, have done everything to protect Epstein and all these powerful men,” Gallego said. “There is some type of coverup that’s happening, and for Virginia and for all the other people that have been victimized, we are going to get that information out.”

Gallego is right—we must keep pushing until the files are released. For ten years, I’ve been covering Trump’s Epstein scandal, and there’s no way I’m stopping now.

We’ll continue using our Contact Congress effort and our massive social media reach to keep the pressure on. Just yesterday, we trended the hashtag “Stop Johnson’s Epstein Coverup” on Twitter/X—where GOP members of Congress spend most of their time online.

Momentum is on our side, but we need all hands on deck. So please help fuel our fight by becoming a paid subscriber today:

Onward!
