yahoo news | Outgoing lawmaker vows to ‘name names’ in Epstein files: ‘I’ve got seven more mo... AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Outgoing Republican Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky, who was defeated after seven terms, vowed during a “Meet the Press” interview that in his final seven months in office he will publicly disclose the names of individuals identified in the Justice Department’s redacted Jeffrey Epstein files. Citing the Speech or Debate Clause’s protection, Massie affirmed he will “name names” as he and Democrat Rep. Ro Khanna have previously done, and accused Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche of illegally withholding millions of still‑redacted documents that, according to victims’ lawyers, include unreleased 302 forms. Massie argued that the continued secrecy—he even claimed First Lady Melania Trump knows Epstein “didn’t act alone”—prevents convictions and amounts to perjury by top officials, including the FBI director.

The Daily Beast Latest Articles | Opinion: A Car Crash President Is Driving His Party Off a Cliff. Buckle Up! by Michael Ian Black AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The piece argues that, bizarrely, Donald Trump – portrayed as the most corrupt and unpopular modern president – still wields an “unbreakable chokehold” on the Republican Party, as evidenced by this week’s primaries where Trump‑backed challengers ousted incumbents such as Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy and Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie (the latter losing after demanding the full release of the “Epstein files”). The author notes that Trump has also turned on former allies like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert for similar reasons, and wonders what fuels his continued grip: raw charisma, a twisted vision of America, or a messianic appeal to a base that ignores constitutional limits. The article cites a February poll showing 60 % of MAGA hard‑liners still support a third Trump term, despite its illegality, and warns that his influence could shape the 2026 midterms and set up a “rigged election” narrative for 2028. Ultimately, the author laments the tragedy of a party loyal to a leader who has built a $1.8 billion slush fund, defended the Jan. 6 insurrectionists, and threatens democratic norms, urging millions of voters to choose a different path in the upcoming elections.

qwant news | Here Is Why Thomas Massie’s Loss Doesn’t Matter at All AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Thomas Massie’s primary defeat, the author argues, is essentially irrelevant because no single member of Congress can significantly alter the political landscape; politicians are interchangeable and should not command loyalty, which belongs to ideas and principles. Massie’s recent obsession with releasing the “Epstein files”—which yielded no substantive revelations—didn’t resonate with his constituents, and his loss won’t change any pending legislation or policy outcomes. The piece stresses that focusing on the removal of any one lawmaker, even an irritating one, distracts from the broader, more meaningful battles over party control, institutional effectiveness, and the ultimate goals of government.

Jezebel | Congrats to Todd Blanche on His First Epstein Lawsuit as Acting AG! by Danielle Han AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. A journalist, Katie Phang, has filed a 15‑page lawsuit against Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, accusing the Justice Department of “brazen, shocking, and ongoing” violations of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which mandated full public release of the Epstein records by Dec. 19, 2025. Phang argues that the DOJ’s piecemeal, heavily redacted releases—initially a small batch of documents, then 30,000 files, followed months later by three million error‑filled pages that even exposed survivors’ details—failed to meet the law’s deadline and impeded her reporting. The suit follows earlier congressional efforts, including a failed push by Reps. Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna for an independent monitor, and comes amid criticism of former AG Pam Bondi’s handling of the files. Phang’s filing seeks to compel the DOJ to comply with the statutory requirement and ensure transparent access to the complete Epstein documentation.
