In this episode of Resistance Live, Elizabeth focuses on the Epstein Files Transparency Act (HR 4405), explaining what it is, why its rapid, near-unanimous passage is such a big deal, and what it could mean for public accountability around Jeffrey Epstein, powerful officials, and long-silenced victims. She pushes back on doom-and-gloom takes that claim "the fix is in," arguing instead that this moment represents a genuine victory driven by massive public pressure across party lines.
She also uses her legal background to break down, in plain language, how the law is written to force disclosure: what has to be released, what can be legitimately redacted (like victim identities and child sexual abuse material), and why reputational harm or political embarrassment can't be used as excuses to hide names. Throughout, Elizabeth emphasizes that enforcement will involve courts, Congress, and continued public pressure—and situates all of this within a broader context of recent progressive wins and cracks in MAGA's political power.
