'Hold the line': House GOP holds #Epstein 'crisis' meeting amid reports it's 'lost control'
Alexander Willis
July 22, 2025
" '#GOP leaders are talking with #Trump administration officials, searching for ways to appease #Republican members incensed over the lack of public information and Speaker #MikeJohnson’s handling of the matter broadly.'
"The meeting comes just a day after House Republicans abruptly shut down legislative business Monday to block a vote on a measure that would compel the Trump administration to release additional files on #Epstein, largely supported by Democrats, but as well by a handful of Republicans.
"With many of Trump’s most diehard supporters frustrated with the president’s refusal to disclose sufficient information on Epstein, GOP lawmakers have been caught in a balancing act of trying to both please their base, while not drawing the ire of Trump, who has called theories around Epstein a Democrat-manufactured 'hoax.'

A federal watchdog has opened dozens of investigations to determine if #Trump & his top aides have illegally withheld billions of dollars in congressionally approved funds.
Now, #Republican lawmakers are working alongside the White House to stymie those inquiries & the officials conducting them, in a move that could help Trump seize more control over the nation’s #budget.

Speaker #MikeJohnson said he would shut down the #House until September in order to head off #Democratic [& #Republican] demands for votes calling for the release of files from the investigation into #JeffreyEpstein, the disgraced financier & sex offender who was friends with #Trump. Johnson said votes would end Wednesday night in what he called an effort to avoid “political games” related to the #DOJ’s [mis]handling of the files.

#NPR news chief Edith Chapin to step down days after #Congress votes to strip #funding
NPR's #editor in chief & acting chief content officer Edith Chapin told colleagues Tues morning that she has decided to step down.
The veteran #news leader's announcement comes just days after the #Republican-led Congress, driven largely by #Trump's claims of liberal bias at #NPR, voted to strip #PublicBroadcasting of all #FederalFunding.

Can you sense the temporal boundary, that indescribable foreknowledge of the #End Of #Trump, #MAGA and #Republican politicians who still mindlessly lash themselves to the mast of the sinking #GOP ship?
The "Soon" part cannot come fast enough.
You can sense it's in the air, this vicious desperation of ugly hideous trapped monsters lunging against their cages, aimlessly lashing out, looking to inflict harm.
May they all burn forever in eternal Hell.
Ridiculous
#MikeJohnson Retreats on Demand for #JeffreyEpstein Disclosures, Saying #Trump Needs ‘Space’
The #Republican speaker of the #House had said last week that the government should release “everything” in the #Epstein files, in a rare break with Trump that predictably turned out to be short-lived.

#republican politicians, #autoindustry lobbyists and #toothless #hayseeds cost the #unitedstates the global auto industry to #china, exhibit 2,675,778,324.
Good going idiots. The thing is, I don't want ANY modern #us -built cars. They are bland and noncompetitive again because the industry insisted on fighting #EV mandates forever and allied with the #gop. The excitement is in the foreign EV space, and that ship already passed the US due to our own short-sightedness.

A bill to amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Fair Housing Act to prohibit disparate-impact claims.
Introduced in Senate
And now #Republican members of #Congress are talking about leaving #DC early to avoid dealing with the #Epstein scandal, hoping it will blow over by the time they return in September.
When the light comes on, the roaches scatter.

When a #republican speaks I get the same feeling I get when I see #wwe wrestling.
It's all fake, but it is somewhat entertaining to see what the hell they do anyway, and occasionally someone actually gets hurt and you think "huh, maybe don't do that,".
