The Trump administration clearly doesn’t care whether you live or die, but also I never thought I’d see the day when Republicans started telling people what they can and cannot eat.

Apparently people On Here are oblivious to ways HJC, Oversight, & others have been hammering on Epstein consistently. But this, from @wyden.senate.gov, is one even I haven't given due attention. Bessent is withholding financial docs abt who FUNDED Epstein. www.finance.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

I write to follow up regarding your failure to cooperate with my existing investigation
related to the financing of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking network. As you are aware, on March
11, 2025 I sent a request to the agencies you lead for a host of documents in your possession that
would shed light on hundreds of millions of dollars in payments to Epstein by several ultrawealthy individuals, including billionaire financier Leon Black.1
In light of recent developments,
I am deeply concerned that the Trump Administration may be withholding these documents to
prevent exposure of President Trump’s own ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
As you are aware, my original request on March 11th included new information from my
investigation highlighting how $170 million in payments from Black and his associates to
Epstein were used to finance Epstein’s trafficking activities. For example, I provided you with a
copy of a settlement agreement Black signed with the U.S. Virgin Islands Attorney General acknowledging that “Jeffrey Epstein used the money Black paid him to partially fund his
operations in the Virgin Islands.”2
The request also detailed how the Treasury Department’s
Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) has already compiled this information, a
portion of which has been reviewed in camera by my investigative staff at the Senate Finance
Committee and that of Committee Chairman Senator Mike Crapo. During the first Trump
Administration, as with Administrations before that, Treasury regularly produced these sorts of
documents to Congress. However, although the Treasury Department recently acknowledged it
possesses the records I requested in an April 30th letter, it refused to provide copies of the
documents to my office for further analysis.

Republicans are actively trying to defund public broadcasting. In most rural areas of the country public broadcasting doubles as the emergency alert system. Defunding public broadcasting alert systems after what happened in Texas is unthinkably dangerous.

Instead of working to protect Americans' privacy, today the FTC is hosting what amounts to an anti-trans rally. Nobody is more obsessed with controlling the private decisions of the American people than Republicans.

Hi all—I'll be periodically live-posting today's FTC event on GAC's supposed "deceptive trade practices." Trump's anti-trans agenda is getting creative—cracking down on (or at least intimidating) GAC providers w/ misapplied consumer protection laws. The event will be...interesting. [A THREAD 🏳️‍⚧️🧵]

The Republican bill does trigger a $500 billion cut to Medicare — IF — Republicans don't pass additional language waiving these cuts, as is the norm. It's possible they will waive the cuts, but I don't have faith Trump's Republican party will do the right thing here.

Paramount just paid Trump a bribe for merger approval. When Democrats retake power, I’ll be first in line calling for federal charges. In the meantime, state prosecutors should make the corporate execs who sold out our democracy answer in court, today.

In the end, billionaire political donors want a return on their investment, and Trump and Republicans are giving it to them with trillions in new handouts. The rest of us will suffer for it. The United States will be a weaker, sicker and poorer country because of this bill.
