Trump’s most senior advisors are tripping over themselves trying to go back on years of promises about releasing the Epstein files. Hint: it is REALLY not working.
I asked Secretary of Transportation @SecDuffy if he would commit to a fulsome conversation on the release of the Epstein files at the next Cabinet meeting. Watch him squirm as he tries to cover for Trump:
The Hudson Valley works hard. It’s high time the MTA uses our hard-earned tax dollars to actually benefit our community. Instead, they’re ripping away the few transit options we do have. It’s a ridiculous, reckless abandonment of the people they’re meant to serve.
Another pathetic and weak dodging of transparency. Proud to be a sponsor of @RepThomasMassie and @RoKhanna’s bill to finally allow the American people to see the facts.
Breaking News: Speaker Mike Johnson said he would shut down the House until September to block a vote on calling for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. nyti.ms/4nZtblR
Trump is no Patriot. He's a coward. The American people put their faith in him. He's betrayed us ALL, including our veterans. Join me in fighting back.
Thanks @LateNightSeth for highlighting what has to be the most insane Epstein response of the week. @SecDuffy and his friends might take connecting flights through Epstein Island, but I certainly did not!
I think we now know EXACTLY why Donald Trump refuses to release the Epstein files.
Two days ago I led an effort to put into law longstanding Department of Defense directives against political activity by our military. Every single Republican voted against it. This is the result. The Armed Services Committee must launch an investigation immediately.
"The Army has launched an investigation after a drill sergeant posted a video showing soldiers being hazed beneath a MAGA flag, which runs afoul of multiple military regulations prohibiting partisan political activity in uniform and on federal property."
The American people are less safe because the President refuses to tell us the truth.
ANOTHER intelligence assessment says Trump's strikes only set back Iran's nuclear program by months. Evidence is becoming overwhelming that the White House's claim that Iran's program was "completely and totally obliterated" was a lie. nbcnews.com/politics/natio… via @nbcnews
Trump will get right on releasing the Epstein files, as soon they’re scrubbed of all the people who flew to Epstein Island and then took a boat to the Bahamas after??? You can’t make this shit up.
Secretary of Transportation @SecDuffy refused to commit to even discussing the release of the Epstein files with Trump. Listen to him explain his reasoning:
🔥Rep. Pat Ryan demanded transparency on the Epstein files—and Sean Duffy SQUIRMED. The American people were promised answers. What they got was deflection, stammering, and zero accountability. This isn’t partisan—constituents on both sides are demanding transparency.
Under @PeteButtigieg’s leadership, the Department of Transportation took care of our disabled veterans. Trump’s Department of Transportation, led by a former airline lobbyist, puts big business before passengers every time.
Congressman Pat Ryan confronts Sean Duffy on why Trump’s DOT is weakening air travel protections for disabled veterans and Duffy can barely stammer through a non-answer
There’s only one word for Hegseth’s “leadership”: FUBAR.
I love our men and women in uniform. I hate what Hegseth is doing to them.
Pete Hegseth is FUBAR.
“The term that I keep coming back to is something I learned when I first got in the Army,” Ryan says of Hegseth and Signalgate. “Secretary Hegseth is FUBAR. That’s where we’re at.”
In NY alone, Trump's proposed budget would put 1500 formerly homeless veterans back on the street. This is straight-up UNAMERICAN. Please join me in raising the alarm and FIGHTING BACK.
My proposal is pretty simple: We take the record-breaking tax cuts Donald Trump just gave to the 0.1%, and instead lower taxes for the middle-class.
This is why I’ve been consistent and loud in explaining how this strike made us less safe. And why it’s incredibly dangerous for Trump to keep saying Iran’s nuclear facilities are “totally obliterated.” This isn’t a game. Tell the American people the truth.
The status quo is not an option.
Wow. A new group of younger democrats wanting to challenge the democratic status quo and remake the party just launched. This is so needed.
Incredible enthusiasm at our summer kick-off party in Newburgh. We have a lot of work ahead — but there's nobody I'd rather be fighting alongside than our Hudson Valley community!
I’m super proud of the momentum we’ve got going in the Hudson Valley. Huge credit to all of our great community leaders, small businesses & so many others. We need MORE transit options, not less! That’s why our ENTIRE community is fighting back with one voice to SAVE OUR FERRY
Here’s what beautiful means to me. Sick kids get the care they need. Seniors don’t fear going hungry. We help when folks need it & expect them to do the same. That’s the America I risked my life to defend. That’s the America I’ll fight like hell to get back.
