The government holds the investigative files on Jeffrey Epstein's trafficking of children: who paid, who flew, who knew, and which prosecutors decided back in 2008 that a plea deal was enough. Every release so far has landed late, partial, and with the redactions falling in suspiciously convenient places. The survivors have spent two decades being told to wait while the people they named kept their board seats and their reputations. There is exactly one legitimate reason to withhold any of this, and that is protecting victims who never chose to be in it; every other black box is someone being shielded who shouldn't be. Force the full release of the Epstein files with victim-identifying information redacted and nothing else, and open an independent review of how the 2008 deal was allowed to happen.
Russia is still pounding Ukrainian cities with drones and missiles, and its provocations against NATO countries are escalating. Every time Washington sounds unsure whether it will honor its commitments, Moscow reads it as an opening. NATO has kept the peace in Europe for generations because an attack on one member is treated as an attack on all, and that promise only deters anyone if everyone believes it. Congress has already written into law that no president can pull the United States out of NATO without the Senate or an act of Congress. The next Congress has to keep that line, and keep the pressure on Russia. Stand behind NATO’s mutual-defense commitment without hedging, keep U.S. weapons and intelligence flowing to Ukraine, and tighten sanctions and export controls so American technology stops powering Russia’s war.
Federal law already makes it a crime to order or keep troops or armed men at a place where an election is being held, punishable by up to five years in prison and disqualification from federal office. That line has held through every contested election in living memory, because a voter who has to walk past armed federal agents to reach a ballot box is not voting freely, whatever their status. This year the signals have been mixed about whether federal personnel will be near polling places, and a draft executive order declaring a national emergency and asserting federal power over the election has circulated among the president's allies. Elections here are run by states and counties, counted in public, and certified locally. That is the design, not a loophole. Oppose any emergency federal takeover of the 2026 election and any deployment of armed federal personnel at or near polling places, and back enforcement of the ban already on the books.
