Representative Thomas Massie, who pushed for the original Epstein Files Transparency Act, has a new bill he’s going to force through the House.
“When we return next week, we’ll get 218 signatures for Epstein Files Transparency Act II, which guarantees a vote,” Massie wrote Thursday on X. “Survivors will be able to get their own records, State Attorneys General can prosecute crimes, and we can take the DOJ to court for keeping critical files hidden.”
Massie, who has made an enemy of Trump by opposing the Iran war and pushing for the full release of the Epstein files, first passed the Epstein Transparency Act in November 2025. And though President Trump signed it into law, Massie, Democrats, and a few Republicans argue that his administration didn’t fully abide with what the act required.
“The Department of Justice has flagrantly and consistently ignored EFTA’s disclosure requirements,” Massie wrote earlier this summer in his announcement of the Epstein Files Transparency Act II, co-sponsored by Democratic Senators Ben Ray Luján and Jeff Merkley, and Democratic Representatives Ro Khanna and Teresa Leger Fernández.
“In February 2017, Massie introduced a one-page bill that would abolish the United States Department of Education, and cosponsored a bill that would abolish the Environmental Protection Agency.”
Just remember, he’s still a massive twat. He occasionally does things that are less twat-like, but that isn’t anything to get excited about.
If you constantly point out people’s fuck ups and don’t praise them when they do something good, you’re probably a bit of a dick as well
Being a twat and hating pedos are not mutually exclusive.
Make no mistake…95% of the time this clown voted with orange pedo.
Oh yeah, I’m on the edge of my seat.
We all know that you could do it on Monday, you could do it this month, you could do it before the holidays.
But you won’t… it’s been TWENTY YEARS. You are revolting.
Always remember, any rep with clearance is free to call a press conference and say what they’ve seen in the Epstein files. They can ignore subpoenas and the law just like Trump does. Besides, Trump won’t do anything, because he doesn’t want discovery in court.
Weird to announce it in advance. Just fucking do it.
Also, if you’re serious, don’t get too close to any windows during the weekend.
Lawsuits! Of course! Why hasn’t anyone thought of that before?
Mark my comment. Ten years from now the slew of corruption in Trump’s admin will all come to light. The corruption that’s already been revealed is just the tip of the iceberg.
That is the easiest prediction ever to be fair. I don’t think anyone on lemmy would think otherwise.
I will not take 10 years.
You’re right, it will be at least 20.
You do have to go through 10 to reach 20. Look it up!
🤣
When Trump is dead so everyone can say they never supported him. I’m making it my personal goal in life to save the receipts and remind everyone who these motherfuckers are. Most of Trump’s cabinet better be in jail well before the 10 year mark. I’m sorry for posting a YT video but this really is a great take on why we need to pursue prosecutions and not just “move on”
If you’re going to post a YouTube video, this is one of the better ones you could have chosen. Its one of his best videos, by far.
There’s a law to release them, it was ignored and no justice.
Congress: “You have to release these files”
Trump: “No”
Congress: “Okay”
Hence the requisit votes being important, as infuriating as it is.
Sounds like this expands access and will make the DOJ open to lawsuits for having ignored the previous law.
NOW THAT’S WHAT I CALL NOT A DISTRACTION FROM THE EPSTEIN FILES
This guy is definitely in the no fucks given stage when it comes to a common Republican arc. I mean, Republicans that still have a modicum of a kernel of some form of moral compass still left.
They do not exist.
Don’t believe them.
Until the rats are dead, they will be rats.
Massie would make a fun president.
Not a good one.
But a fun one.
Not that I’m advocating, but the bar is very, very low now.
In my new reality where everyone will be compared to Trump until the day I die, Massie will look like a championing hero. He’ll return Republican racial politics back to the “wink and nudge” era.
Is it possible that much of the incriminating evidence has already been removed by Trump and his appointees, or is this something that would be impossible? Meaning that there would be an actual record somewhere, even if it’s classified topsecret++.
Do it then. There has already been way too much talk, especially in the face of the file release statute they passed.
Here’s some information to not forget:

27 different women raped by our president.
Congress has already passed a law that requires the release of the Epstein-Trump files. This will be ignored by the pedo GOP as well.
The correct answer is impeaching the entire cabinet, the Vice President & then Trump.
the Epstein-Trump files
The trumpstein Pedo Files
Then do it
