      This is why trump is trying to suck the oxygen out of the news cycle. The Epstein defendants are holding a mass Press Conference in DC tomorrow, GOP are now demanding the release of the files legally, and a bunch of other Epstein related material is due to drop this month.

      Expect extreme deflection and diversions in the coming days.

      >Rep. Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican, filed a [discharge petition](https://clerk.house.gov/DischargePetition/2025090209) on Tuesday to attempt to force a House vote on compelling the release of files related to late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, resurfacing the saga upon [Congress‘ return](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/congress-returns-funding-epstein-crime/). 

      >Massie and Rep. Ro Khanna, a California Democrat, introduced [legislation](https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-resolution/581/text) in July that would require the Justice Department to release the Epstein files within 30 days. They planned to force a vote on the bill once lawmakers returned from their lengthy August recess.

      >Although leadership controls the House’s agenda and what legislation receives a vote, individual lawmakers can „discharge“ legislation that has been sitting in committee. A discharge petition enables 218 members, a majority of the lower chamber, to provide their signatures and effectively bypass leadership to bring a bill before the full House for a vote. 

      >Khanna [told](https://www.npr.org/2025/09/02/nx-s1-5524941/rep-ro-khanna-discusses-bipartisan-demand-for-doj-to-release-epstein-files) NPR News on Tuesday that he’s „very confident“ all 212 Democrats will support the petition, along with more than the six Republicans needed to force a vote in the House.

      If they won’t release the Epstein files, force them too. I like this strategy, we will see how it plays out.

      I’m gonna laugh my ass off if Trump gets taken down by the likes of this guy and Marjorie Taylor Green.

      Massie:

      „…the White House is working pretty hard to try to get my co-sponsors not to sign it.“

      Gee… that seems odd… I mean, it’s not like Trump has anything to HIDE… right?

      Why would every member of a political party vote to protect pedophiles?

    8. gnarlytabby on

      Getting discharge petition’d over protecting a pedo would end most House Speaker’s careers, but the bar keeps getting lowered for Mike Johnson.
