Applaud Dems for Forcing the Release of the Epstein Files

In a historic breakthrough for transparency and justice, Democrats in Congress — backed by survivors and a handful of bipartisan allies — have succeeded in pushing the Epstein Files Transparency Act through both chambers of Congress, despite months of obstruction from Donald Trump and his Republican leadership. After a near-unanimous 427–1 vote in the House and unanimous consent in the Senate, the bill to release the long-hidden Epstein investigative files is now headed to Trump’s desk.

Democrats led this fight from the start. When the Trump administration, the DOJ, and GOP leadership tried to bury the truth, lawmakers like Rep. Ro Khanna and Rep. Adelita Grijalva refused to back down. They organized survivors, rallied bipartisan support, and deployed rare procedural tools — including a successful discharge petition — to force a vote over the objections of Trump’s allies. Their relentless push ensured the American people will finally get answers about one of the most disturbing scandals in modern history.

Survivors watched from the House gallery as the bill passed, many in tears, knowing their courage helped expose the truth. “The first day of real reckoning for the Epstein class,” Khanna declared — a powerful reminder that this effort is about justice, not politics. Democrats stood firm, united, and unwavering in their commitment to transparency, accountability, and justice for the victims Epstein and his network exploited.

Add your name to applaud the Democrats who fought tirelessly to release the Epstein files, deliver long-overdue justice to survivors, and ensure that no president — not even Donald Trump — can hide the truth from the American people.
