House Dem will introduce resolution demanding Epstein files’ release: ‘Put up or Shut up!’
by Sarah Fortinsky - 07/14/25 3:24 PM ET

Rep. Marc Veasey (D-Texas) said Sunday he plans to introduce a resolution demanding files be released in the case involving financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

“Either @realDonaldTrump and his acolytes fueled the rumors of the significance of these Epstein files to help his campaign, or something is there!” Veasey said in a post on social platform X.

“That’s why on Monday, I’ll introduce a resolution demanding the Trump Administration release all files related to the Epstein case,” he continued. “Put up or Shut up!”

The Justice Department (DOJ) last week released a memo concluding Epstein did not keep a “client list” used to blackmail high-profile people and that there wasn’t any evidence of foul play in his death, which had previously been ruled a suicide.

President Trump has stood by the DOJ memo, even as segments of his base have made accusations of a cover-up or of failed campaign promises. Trump said on the 2024 campaign trail that he would make the Epstein files public if elected.

He has also defended Attorney General Pam Bondi who has faced fierce backlash for saying earlier this year that the Epstein list was on her desk but then appearing to suggest it did not exist in the memo released last week.

“What’s going on with my ‘boys’ and, in some cases, ‘gals?’ They’re all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is doing a FANTASTIC JOB! We’re on one Team, MAGA, and I don’t like what’s happening. We have a PERFECT Administration, THE TALK OF THE WORLD, and ‘selfish people’ are trying to hurt it, all over a guy who never dies, Jeffrey Epstein,” Trump said in a social media post Saturday.

Veasey joins other Democrats who have sought to capitalize on the growing strife in Trump’s base. Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) also called on House Republicans to hold a vote demanding the Trump administration release the files.

“Why are the Epstein files still hidden? Who are the rich & powerful being protected?” Khanna said in a post on X over the weekend.

“On Tuesday, I’m introducing an amendment to force a vote demanding the FULL Epstein files be released to the public,” he continued. “The Speaker must call a vote & put every Congress member on record.”

Makes perfect sense if it involves Israel's Mossad. 

Can't find a better "Dead Man's Switch" than that!

Naw... You ain't picking up what I'm putting down.

This list is some heavy weight... BIG leverage. People don't want it going public. With that much weight to swing around, she ought to either be dead or free and living the high life... Why is she in jail?

Makes perfect sense if it involves Israel's Mossad.

Closed Intelligence Commitee meeting should take care of that.  Should be easy to discern Security Clearance level of everyone on the so list that Maxwell suggests exists., .

Vet it, and announce those as factual, and not as a harbinger of guilt.  Want a good start on draining the sleaziest of the Swamp?  This will be a good start.

 Supreme Court allows Trump to resume Education Department layoffs
by Zach Schonfeld and Lexi Lonas Cochran - 07/14/25 3:30 PM ET

The Supreme Court on Monday allowed President Trump to resume efforts to dismantle the Department of Education in an apparent 6-3 vote along ideological lines, lifting a judge’s order to reinstate hundreds of employees terminated in mass layoffs.

The administration’s victory enables the president to move closer to fulfilling of one of his major campaign promises to oversee the elimination of the Education Department, which was created in the 1970s.

The majority did not explain its reasoning, as is typical in emergency decisions. The court’s three Democratic-appointed justices publicly dissented, calling their colleagues’ ruling “indefensible.”

“It hands the Executive the power to repeal statutes by firing all those necessary to carry them out,” wrote Justice Sonia Sotomayor, joined by Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson.

“The majority is either willfully blind to the implications of its ruling or naive, but either way the threat to our Constitution’s separation of powers is grave,” they continued.

Since entering office, the administration has sought to lay off half of the Education Department’s workforce and move some of the agency’s core functions, such as managing student loans, to other federal departments. 

U.S. District Judge Myong Joun blocked those efforts in May. Ruling that Trump needed congressional authorization, Joun ordered the administration reinstate the roughly 1,400 workers laid off in March.

The Supreme Court’s ruling lifts Joun’s injunction as the litigation proceeds in the lower courts, but it is not a final decision. The dispute could return to the justices.

Following the ruling, Education Secretary Linda McMahon vowed to carry out the layoffs once again.

He looks just like Ilhan Omar, her brother/husband and her daughter. Not that I'm implying all Somalians are related, but ...

Somali family trees have few if any branches.
