🚨 We just won a forced subpoena of the Epstein files 8-2 in our @OversightDems subcommittee. This will force Chairman Comer to issue the subpoena. This is an enormous win by Oversight Democrats.
Sure feels like the dark arts are afoot! Why no vote @SpeakerJohnson ??
So, Speaker Johnson killed a vote on releasing Epstein files and a Judge just blocked the release of grand jury Epstein testimony. Man, for something that wasn’t at all a conspiracy, there sure are a lot of powerful people hell bent on us never seeing the proof.
“Why haven’t Republicans released the Epstein files to the American people?” said Leader Hakeem Jeffries. “It’s reasonable to conclude that Republicans are continuing to protect the lifestyles of the rich and shameless even if that includes pedophiles.” thedailybeast.com/dems-blast-gop…
Just since this article posted this AM, @EnergyCommerce Dems have put Rs on the record again against release of the files @EdWorkforceDems forced GOP to recess and abruptly pull a bill from markup to avoid a similar vote These guys will really do anything but release the files
NEW column: Democrats are running circles around Republicans on Epstein. -splitting Rs on doc release -embarrassing Trump -shutting down the House -stealing the spotlight/distracting from the GOP megabill sales pitch For once, the base is loving it. politico.com/news/magazine/…
MAGA Mike melting down after his political dreams were crushed by Donald Trump? Keep it moving.
Kathy Hochul, Chuck Schumer, and Hakeem Jeffries are freaking out about the prospects of having a Marxist lead the financial capital of the world. They understand this is a disaster, not only for Democrats, but for the country.
Jeffries: "Why haven't Republicans released the Epstein files to the American people? It's reasonable to conclude that Republicans are continuing to protect the lifestyles of the rich and shameless, even if that includes pedophiles ... it's all connected."
.@RepJeffries: “Why haven’t Republicans released the Epstein files to the American people? It’s reasonable to conclude that Republicans are continuing to protect the lifestyles of the rich and shameless, even if that includes pedophiles.”
Why are Republicans so afraid to address their constituents face-to-face?
Donald Trump’s One Big Ugly Bill will leave millions of Americans broke, hungry and sick. Shame on House Republicans for always bending the knee to the PuppetMaster-in-Chief’s extreme agenda.
Donald Trump and House Republicans have the power to release the Epstein files today. They refuse to do it. What are they hiding from the American people?
JUST IN 🚨 @RepJeffries says all options are on the table to counteract Trump and Greg Abbott's election theft, even in New York. "I'm in conversation with members of the New York Delegation as well as the Governor to ensure New York does its part."
House Republicans are a complete and total failure. That's why they are trying to rig the Texas congressional map. Get lost.
JUST IN 🚨 @RepJeffries calls out Speaker Johnson's coverup of the Epstein Files: "For years Republicans promised to release the files, now they have the opportunity and they refuse to act. I have a simple question for the Speaker: What are you hiding from the American People?"
Johnson on Epstein Files: My belief is we need the administration to have the space to do what it is doing. RAJU: So no vote on this before the August recess? Johnson: No
Jeffries: Epstein was a friend of Trump.. Why do we think Biden’s or Obama's names are being invoked? Because Donald Trump is running scared. What are they hiding from the American people? Release the files.
House Democrats are focused on fixing a broken system to make life more affordable for everyday Americans. The one big ugly bill instead prioritizes massive tax breaks for billionaires. Shame on these extremists.
I spoke with leaders Hakeem Jeffries about how Americans want more than just to survive; they want to thrive. @CBCPAC
NEW: "They're trying to cheat to win." As President Trump pushes a Texas takeover in the fight to hold onto the House, Democrats are plotting their counterpunch. @mkraju going on-on-one with @hakeemjeffries about the political trench warfare. #InsidePolitics
🚨 I sat down with House Minority Leader @RepJeffries — and he spoke it clear! Retaking the House isn’t optional. It’s essential. We must expose GOP cruelty, protect our democracy, and use every legal tool to fight back.
New on @InsidePolitics Sunday: 8aET and 11aET on @CNN The batttle for the House and new reporting on the Dem counterattack as Trump pushes to redraw TX lines to gain five GOP seats in the midterms. “They’re trying to cheat to win,” Jeffries says of GOP. More tomorrow:
Thank you Stephen Colbert for your willingness to speak truth to power. Staying far from timid. And never bending the knee to a wannabe king.
