The release of long-suppressed Epstein investigation files threatens to reshape national politics while Georgia prepares for critical 2026 races, but locally, two key Democratics Barry Wolfert, running for Georgia’s 11th Congressional District to challenge Rep. Barry Loudermilk, and Scott Sanders, the lone Democrat in the House District 23 special election, hop on calls to introduce themselves.

But the biggest story of the day centers on the newly released Epstein estate emails and the House vote advancing a discharge petition to force release of the full DOJ archive. Heather Cox Richardson’s step-by-step breakdown of what happens over the next 7–10 days is quite useful.

Why Donald Trump is fighting desperately to stop these documents from seeing daylight is the mystery - because he's totally innocent, y'all.

The emails already released contradict Trump’s past claims—suggesting awareness of Epstein’s predatory behavior, discussing girls at Epstein’s properties, and hinting at damaging leverage Epstein believed he held. Even conservative voices like Howard Kurtz expressed concern about the revelations.

Ron also analyzes Laura Ingraham’s awkward/bizarre White House interview with Trump, where he was openly dismissive of American workers’ abilities, while defending expanded visa labor, and made questionable economic claims. You can almost hear Laura's "BS meter" going off with her tone. Also, are she and Sean Hannity openly trying to sink Trump? It sort of feels like it.

Also at Fox, Howard Kurtz throwing a little shade, himself.
