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.
In 2001, after more than 600 public hearings and 1.6 million public comments (the largest response to a federal rule in American history), the Roadless Rule protected some 58 million acres of national forest from roadbuilding and industrial logging. Those acres are the headwaters of drinking water for millions of people, the last unfragmented habitat left in a lot of states, and the elk country and trout streams hunters and anglers have defended for a generation. USDA is now moving to erase all of it administratively, which is exactly how it could be erased again by whoever runs the department next. A protection that survived two decades of litigation shouldn't rest on a memo. Write the Roadless Rule into statute, where an appointee can't repeal it.
Big Bend is 800,000 acres of Chihuahuan Desert that Americans set aside more than eighty years ago, and the canyon walls along the river hold rock art made thousands of years before there was a border here to argue about. Construction is working toward it now under a legal power almost nobody knows exists: one line in the REAL ID Act lets the Secretary of Homeland Security waive any law at all (the Endangered Species Act, the Clean Water Act, historic preservation, the statutes protecting tribal sacred sites) to build a wall, with no court permitted to review the decision. That isn't border policy. That's a single official with a pen and nobody to answer to. Repeal that waiver authority and bar wall construction inside national parks, wildlife refuges, and tribal sacred sites.
