The walls are closing in! Trump is in the Epstein files and his signature will release them. Now let's continue to protest in the streets. Here is a No Kings Anthem we can sing together: https://democracydefender2025.substack.com/p/no-kings-anthem-no-crown-no-throne

The good news is that I wake up every day to Scott laying it all out. Progress in motion.

Now let’s press for Article 2. It allows the impeachment of the president, vice president, the entire cabinet, and federal judges who do not uphold the constitution.

Then it goes to the Senate for a trial, and if it passes with a 2/3 vote, we win back our country!

I helped run the first impeachment campaign Lisa! I of course fully support it again. It can't happen with a GOP House. But it's gotta start before a Dem House too!

This is the most inspiring column I’ve read in a long time, so thank you Scott for boosting my serotonin. I signed up to volunteer for Graham Plattner for Senator up here in the great state of Maine.

Q1: trmp will do everything he can to delay the release of the files. He knows his name is in them dozens of times.

Q2: trmp's meeting w/ MBS was a disgrace, a national embarrassment. His announcement that he would sell F-35s to Saudi Arabia is a national security issue: China and Saudi Arabia have a security agreement and even Pete Hegseth has said that. trmp is a national security risk.

Q3: It is refreshing to know that our courts are holding the line. trmp's and abbott's cheap ploy to cheat in the mid-terms was defeated and is appropriate.

Q1: Agree. He'll stall and lie about his "non-relationship" with Epstein, using the tactic of calling for investigations of Democrats. Ultimately, he will fail. I believe Lawrence O'Donnell called this the end of Trump's political dominance.

Q2: Agree. Cudos to Mary Bruce for having the ovaries to confront both Trump and MBS.

Q3: Agree. I just finally joined Marc Elias' Democracy Docket, he's indefatigable!

A three-fer!

He won’t stall, but Bondi will make sure to destroy evidence before it sees daylight.

I encourage all to watch Heather Cox Richardson’s video(~18 min) from last night on the Epstein Files.

She talks about the impossibility of keeping thousands quiet,the many videos,the survivors and their stories.Also mentioned resourceful historians and investigative journalists who could start looking into banks and elsewhere to obtain info not in the files.She talked about the legislators up for re-election in 2026 who will not want this to drag out with a supermajority of their constituents wanting the release.

MBS should have been arrested, not had his ass kissed. GO TEXAS! And no, we will never see the real Epstein files until Blondie and her flying monkeys are finished scrubbing them of all references to the Felon. “Ongoing investigations” will be the reason. But you know Putin, the butcher in Israel, and possibly the UK have the full versions. Let’s get them!

There are too many people who know what the files contain to keep it secret. Maureen Comey, who prosecuted Gislaine Maxwell, and was working on the Epstein investigation when he died knows everything, as do her colleagues in her office.

Scott, Trump will release the Epstein Files, but they will be heavily redacted they will provide little valuable information. I’m delighted with the Texas gerrymandering decision. Let’s hope the SCOTUS doesn’t overturn it

Scott, I have just one question, that literally no republican supporter, congress person, or senate person will answer. I dont get it.

Why did Clay Higgins stand alone against transparency on Epstein's files?

The votes in both the House and Senate are huge. It says a lot. That the entire country is up in arms about this and they'd better play by the rules, or else.

It is all falling apart for Trump. I'm not sure how much Trump has meddled with the Epstein files and how accurate they will be but Mikey and Trump and the billionaires are seeing that the American people aren't having it. The wave is rising and there is nothing they can do to stop it. The truth is coming out in one form or another.

I will not believe the Epstein files are complete even if “released”. Hosting criminals who killed a journalist and contributed to the 9/11 Devastation is disgusting and is another reason to impeach the traitorous asshole holding the position of president. TX deserves all the worst.
