DOJ allowing Congress to view unredacted Epstein files
Law enforcement shouldn't be political.

The Justice Department informed Congress on Friday that lawmakers will be given access to unredacted versions of the Epstein files, starting next week. 

Beginning Monday, congressional members will be able to view unredacted versions of over 3 million pages of publicly released documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, Assistant Attorney General Patrick Davis wrote in a letter to lawmakers. Many of the files released in spades to the public in recent months have been heavily redacted, in what the Trump administration says is an effort to protect around 1,000 victims who have accused Epstein and his associates of sexual harassment or abuse. 

“We are confident that this review will further demonstrate the Department’s good faith work to appropriately process an enormous volume of documents in a very short time,” Davis wrote this week, describing the development as in line with the DOJ’s “commitment to maximum transparency.” 

Lawmakers must abide by a series of stipulations in order to view the files in their entirety. Members are not allowed to take any phones or electronics into the reading rooms at the DOJ, where they will use government computers to access the files. Senators and representatives must give the department at least 24 hours’ notice of their preferred reviewing time. 

Lawmakers may view the files from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, according to Davis. Congressional staff are not allowed into the reading rooms. 

The development comes after the Justice Department released the files last week. At the time, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said the DOJ has still “withheld or redacted files covered by various privileges, including deliberative process privilege, the work-product doctrine, and attorney-client privilege. In total, approximately 200,000 pages have been redacted or withheld based on various privileges.” 

Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Ro Khanna (D-CA), who have led a bipartisan effort seeking the release of the files, swiftly urged Blanche to grant Congress members the ability to view the files in full. Khanna said Thursday that he and Massie had requested a meeting with Blanche for an explanation regarding why certain information had been redacted. 

“Concealing the reputations of these powerful men is a blatant violation of the Epstein Transparency Act we passed,” he said. 

“We have seen a blanket approach to redactions in some areas, while in other cases, victim names were not redacted at all,” Khanna and Massie …

Trump signs executive order quadrupling beef imports from Argentina
Ask who never gets charged.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Friday aimed at making beef more affordable for Americans by increasing the allowable imports of lean beef trimmings from Argentina. 

The executive order, titled Ensuring Affordable Beef for the American Consumer, temporarily increases the in-quota quantity of lean beef trimmings under the U.S. tariff-rate quota by 80,000 metric tons, allocating the additional quota entirely to Argentina. 

Trump cited concerns from the Department of Agriculture that beef costs have risen sharply in recent years due to drought conditions in major cattle-producing states, and other market pressures have cut U.S. cattle herds to historically low levels.

Ground beef averaged $6.69 per pound in December 2025, the highest since tracking began in the 1980s, even as demand for beef products stayed strong, according to Department of Labor Statistics data cited in the order.

Trump first hinted at signing an order to import Argentine beef in October, after beef production slowed domestically and screwworm outbreaks disrupted imports from Mexico. 

Trump said in the proclamation that he has a “responsibility to ensure that hard-working Americans can afford to feed themselves and their families” and that the action is warranted under federal trade laws that allow quota adjustments when supply does not meet domestic demand at reasonable prices. 

The measure comes amid broader concerns about grocery inflation and rising food costs, which have drawn political scrutiny and spurred previous administration actions, including investigations into possible price-fixing and anti-competitive behavior in food supply chains. 

In December, Trump signed a separate executive order directing the Justice Department and Federal Trade Commission to form task forces to examine price-fixing and foreign influence in food markets. 

While the tariff adjustment does not directly alter long-standing trade policy or broader agricultural subsidies, it reflects the administration’s effort to address consumer concerns over grocery expenses ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. 

The expanded quotas are scheduled to be administered in four quarterly tranches throughout 2026, with the first tranche opening Feb. 13 and running through March 31.

Trump signed an additional executive order Friday that would allow commercial fishing in the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument.

The Epstein scandal is taking down Europe’s political class. In the US, they’re getting a pass.
We're watching the same failure loop.

Across the Atlantic, heads are rolling over the Jeffrey Epstein revelations.

In Norway, one prominent diplomat has already been suspended and a police investigation has been opened into a former prime minister. In the U.K., the former ambassador to the U.S. has been fired; on Tuesday, he resigned from the House of Lords. Police are reviewing reports he shared market-sensitive information with Epstein.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew, was stripped of his royal titles and residence. A charity founded by his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, the former Duchess of York, will shut down indefinitely following the release of emails where she called Epstein a “legend” and “the brother I have always wished for.”

But as Europe’s political class moves to clean up its mess and address its shame concerning ties with the convicted sex offender, it’s inadvertently highlighting something else — the comparative lack of accountability in the U.S.

No prominent politicians have taken a fall. Consequences have been limited. Wagons have been circled around the most prominent political figures whose names have surfaced in the legal document dumps.

In the U.K., former ambassador to the U.S. Peter Mandelson — who has said he was wrong to believe Epstein following his conviction and to continue his association with him afterwards — has emerged as a millstone around British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s neck. While Starmer never actually met Epstein, some are calling for his resignation over his appointment of Mandelson. The prime minister publicly apologized Thursday to Epstein’s victims.

“I am sorry,” Starmer said. “Sorry for what was done to you, sorry that so many people with power failed you, sorry for having believed Mandelson’s lies and appointed him and sorry that even now you’re forced to watch this story unfold in public once again.”

It’s a different story in the U.S. Donald Trump’s Republican Party has largely averted its eyes or rallied to the president’s defense despite his documented ties to Epstein and the unverified additional allegations against the president that appeared last week.

Trump has denied wrongdoing in relation to the Epstein allegations, and no evidence has suggested that he took part in Epstein’s trafficking operation. The president also has maintained that he and Epstein had a falling out years ago.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick remains unscathed in his Cabinet post. Lutnick said on a podcast last year that he was so disgusted by his neighbor Epstein in 2005 that he vowed to never be in the same room with him again. But when the Justice Department released more than three million pages of materials related to the late American financier last Friday, emails surfaced suggesting a closer relationship and that Lutnick …

Tim Tebow Should Have Pulled Strings to Keep Debbie Wasserman Schultz off Anti-Child Porn Bill He’s Endorsing
This is performative politics again.

For years, Tim Tebow has been working with state and federal officials to raise awareness to help get laws passed to end human trafficking and child pornography. It’s a cause that is super commendable–for sure. And he’s on the verge of success.

Just last month, legislation meant to strengthen investigations of sexually abusive images of children, called the Renewed Hope Act of 2026, that Tebow has collaborated on with Republican Florida Rep. Laurel Lee, was reintroduced and voted out of the Judiciary Committee and is now slated for a floor House vote. The big problem, however, is that Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., has been made a prominent cosponsor of this measure.

On the surface this may seem like something we should celebrate, but it’s not. The reason is simple: Wasserman Schultz is a hypocrite and a far-left politician who has worked to advance a progressive agenda that is nothing short of being anti-parent and anti-family. That ideology is the culprit behind the rise of online child predators.

In fact, if America is ever going to truly abolish online child pornography, then lawmakers like Wasserman-Schultz need to get the boot and be voted out of office.

Instead, Tebow, has released a press release that hails Wasserman Schultz as a cosponsor; something she can brag about in her reelection bid.  

What’s more is that Wasserman Shultz hasn’t been mousey about her radical left positions. She has held top key leadership positions in the Democrat Party and has been at the forefront in using her leverage to oppose parental rights, support abortion, and further transgenderism.

Take for instance that in this current Congress she is a lead cosponsor of the so-called “Women’s Health Protection Act.” This legislation aims to advance abortion access that would in essence make Roe v. Wade the law of the land.

But perhaps most relevant to the issue at hand is that Wasserman Schultz not so long ago voted to prevent a parent’s right to review the curriculum of their child’s school and other materials available in the school library.

When the House of Representatives took up the Parents Bill of Rights Act in 2023, Wasserman Schultz joined with all Democrat members of Congress to oppose this bill which merely stated that the “right of parents to educate their children is a pre-political natural right that the U.S. Supreme Court has recognized as ‘beyond debate’ and rooted in the ‘history and culture of Western civilization.”

The measure also included a requirement that elementary and secondary schools for grades 5 to 8 would be forced to obtain permission from parents before marking their child’s “gender” as “transgender” — something that anyone who believes in protecting children should unequivocally support.  

In other words, Wasserman Schultz is on the side that is fighting against parental rights. She’s doing that even though parents are the key protectors for everywhere a child goes and everything they do, whether in or out of school or online.

Going a step further: the reason that children are being sexually targeted at school and online like never before in our nation’s history is one hundred percent a result of the far left …

When anti-ICE clashes trigger federal intervention: Experts explain the constitutional breaking point
This affects the entire country.

Anti-ICE protesters have surrounded federal agents, Democratic leaders have denounced enforcement operations and tensions in Minneapolis have boiled over — but legal experts say none of it yet crosses the line into a constitutional breakdown or would justify the use of federal emergency powers by President Donald Trump.
Legal analysts say the unrest, while volatile, does not inhibit the federal government’s constitutional authority to enforce immigration law. That threshold would only be crossed if state officials themselves moved to block or materially obstruct federal agents, raising Supremacy Clause concerns.
Ilya Somin, a George Mason University law professor, told Fox News Digital that hindering federal agents' work, even aggressively, does not rise to that level.
"There is no general principle of law which says that anything that makes the work of federal agents more difficult in any way somehow violates the Constitution," Somin said.
FEDS SHIFT TO TARGETED IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT IN MINNEAPOLIS UNDER HOMAN
Protesters have taken to the streets of Minneapolis in recent weeks to confront immigration officers during Operation Metro Surge, a federal enforcement effort that has deployed thousands of ICE and Customs and Border Protection agents to Minnesota. During enforcement actions, protesters have at times surrounded ICE agents with shouting, whistles, filming and unruly crowds, creating a tense mix of peaceful demonstrators and coordinated agitators that has occasionally escalated into blockades or violence.
The dynamics at play have centered on two legal principles. On one hand, the anti-commandeering doctrine prevents the federal government from forcing state and local officials to enforce federal law. On the other, obstruction of federal law enforcement is unlawful and could violate the Supremacy Clause, which says federal law trumps state law when the two are in conflict.
If the state were to pass laws that obstruct federal law enforcement from performing its job duties, that would trigger supremacy clause concerns, Somin said, but he noted that such conditions are not present in Minnesota. 
Operation Metro Surge began in December, sending 3,000 immigration agents to Minneapolis and St. Paul. The effort has led to thousands of arrests, but it has spurred resistance from residents and resulted in two high-profile deaths of U.S. citizens at the hands of immigration agents, which fueled further public outrage. The FBI is now investigating those incidents.
Democratic state leaders, meanwhile, have widely criticized the operation and drawn blame …

Conservative firebrand vows to purge ‘RINOs’ in battle to replace retiring Vern Buchanan in open Florida seat
Equal justice apparently isn't equal anymore.

Eddie Speir is not afraid of a fight with the Florida GOP establishment. In 2024, he took on 10-term incumbent Rep. Vern Buchanan, R-Fla., and won just under 40% of the vote, positioning himself as a constitutional conservative outsider against an entrenched moderate Republican.
Now, with Buchanan's Jan. 27 announcement that he would be retiring after a nearly two-decade stint in D.C., Speir is launching another grassroots, outsider candidacy to challenge the "RINO Republicans" that he frequently derides.
FLORIDA GOP REP VERN BUCHANAN TO RETIRE, ADDING TO WAVE OF HOUSE EXITS
"This is just a continuation of what I did in '24, which was run against Vern Buchanan to expose the RINOs [Republicans In Name Only] that are not representing the district…and the taxpayers of Florida. So we need somebody that's gonna step up and actually represent and go to Washington D.C. with a bold agenda and not compromise to the elite social circles that are up there in D.C."
Speir said he believes that his messaging and grassroots support will carry him through to victory in the Aug. 18 primary.
"We were the largest grassroots movement in this district's history…Nobody else had even come close to earning 40% in the entire state of Florida. … So, it's hard to push against an incumbent here in Florida. But now there's not even an incumbent, so we're just gonna continue the same momentum that we had and get the message out."
DAYLIGHT SAVING REFORM HITS WALL AS LAWMAKERS BLAST 'OUTDATED PRACTICE'
Florida political observers have batted about several possible contenders that might join Speir in the GOP primary. Chief among these is close Trump ally Joe Gruters, who cut his political teeth working on Buchanan's campaign and would be the establishment heir apparent.
However, Gruters' potential candidacy is complicated by the three high-level positions he currently holds. He is a sitting Florida state senator, the RNC chairman, as well as the current candidate for Florida Chief Financial Officer in 2026.
Gruters is seen as the most likely establishment opponent to Speir, and some believe he may abandon his Florida CFO candidacy to run in Florida's 16th district.
THE UGLY TRUTH ABOUT MODERN 'ANTI-FASCISM'
New College of Florida President Richard Corcoran has also been discussed as a potential candidate. Speir was appointed to the New College of Florida board of trustees by Gov. Ron DeSantis in January 2023, but the Florida Senate refused to confirm his appointment.
Speir's controversial tenure at New College, and the subsequent rejection of his confirmation by the Florida Senate, …

India invests $500 billion as part of US trade agreement lowering tariffs
Law enforcement shouldn't be political.

President Donald Trump announced on Friday the framework of a trade agreement between the United States and India, under which New Delhi will invest $500 billion in American industries over the next five years, and both parties will reduce tariffs.

In a joint statement, the countries’ leaders said the agreement reaffirms the commitment to ongoing Bilateral Trade Agreement negotiations launched in February 2025 and outlines mutual tariff reductions and increased market access across a wide range of goods. 

India will invest in U.S. energy products, aircraft materials, precious metals, technology products, and coking coal over the next 5 years. Both nations will increase trade in technology products, such as graphics processing units and other goods used in data centers, and will expand joint technology cooperation.

Under the interim framework, India will also eliminate or reduce tariffs on a broad list of U.S. industrial and agricultural products, including tree nuts, soybean oil, and spirits. 

In return, the U.S. will reduce the reciprocal tariff rate from 50% to 18% on many Indian goods, including textiles, leather, machinery, and other products, with plans to remove tariffs on certain items pending full implementation of the agreement.

The statement also includes provisions for preferential market access, cooperation on non-tariff barriers, and commitments to strengthen alignment on economic security and supply chain resilience.

The announcement comes after months of strained trade relations. Last year, the U.S. imposed high tariffs on Indian imports, which sparked disputes that eroded trust and slowed cooperation on other fronts. 

The new interim agreement is seen as an effort to mend those tensions by offering Indian exporters greater access to U.S. markets while opening new opportunities for American producers. 

TRUMP’S PRAISEWORTHY INDIA TRADE DEAL

When the agreement was announced earlier this week, Indian markets surged, marking their best day since May 2025.

In addition to improving relations with India, the deal also weakens China’s economy, as India has relied heavily on Chinese exports. In another hit to U.S. foes, India also agreed to halt Russian oil purchases.

Tim Tebow Should Have Pulled Strings to Keep Debbie Wasserman Schultz Off Anti-Child Porn Bill He’s Endorsing
Are they actually going to vote on something real?

With Judge’s Ruling on TPS, Springfield Is Back in the News
This affects the entire country.

Prominent Ohio lawmakers have been reacting swiftly to a last-minute court ruling maintaining Temporary Protected Status for Haitians in the United States.

Springfield, Ohio, has been the epicenter of the effort to end TPS for Haitian migrants.

The Ruling and Reactions

On Monday night, Judge Ana Reyes blocked the Trump administration from ending TPS for Haitians, with the decision coming on the eve before the program was to end.

The Trump administration is determined to appeal.

“Supreme Court, here we come. This is lawless activism that we will be vindicated on,” Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin shared. 

“Haiti’s TPS was granted following an earthquake that took place over 15 years ago, it was never intended to be a de facto amnesty program, yet that’s how previous administrations have used it for decades. Temporary means temporary, and the final word will not be from an activist judge legislating from the bench,” she added.

Supreme Court, here we come.

This is lawless activism that we will be vindicated on.

Haiti’s TPS was granted following an earthquake that took place over 15 years ago, it was never intended to be a de facto amnesty program, yet that’s how previous administrations have used it…
— Tricia McLaughlin (@TriciaOhio) February 3, 2026

Reyes, a Biden-appointed judge for the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, had strong words for DHS Secretary Kristi Noem in her conclusion, claiming that the Trump administration is motivated by racism.

When discussing equal protection arguments, Reyes pointed to plaintiffs arguing that the decision to end TPS was “motivated, at least in part, by racial animus.” She wrote, “The Court finds that Plaintiffs are likely to succeed on their claim that anti-black and anti-Haitian animus motivated Secretary Noem’s decision to terminate Haiti’s TPS designation.”

The decision was celebrated by Springfield Mayor Rob Rue, a Republican. “This ruling provides clarity and stability for families who are already part of our community. It reflects the reality that many individuals are working, paying taxes, raising families and contributing every day to the life of our City,” he said in a statement shared with The Daily Signal. “Maintaining that stability matters because unnecessary disruption creates uncertainty that serves no one.”

Simon Hankinson, a senior fellow for the Border Security and Immigration Center at The Heritage Foundation, previously spoke to The Daily Signal about the influx of Haitians in Springfield. He acknowledged that Haitians may be employed and paying taxes, but also noted that “those taxes are in no way going to make up for the services, free medical care, housing, education, and on and on that they’re taking out of not only the Ohio budget, but also the government budget.”

Where Does Gov. DeWine Stand?

Gov. Mike DeWine, R-Ohio, who has raised concerns about ending TPS, was asked about the ruling on CNN, specifically the claims of “animus” mentioned in Reyes’ ruling.

The governor danced around the issue, offering, “Look, I’m not going to get into what the judge says or the law. The judge is going to …

Tim Tebow’s Mistake: Empowering a Radical Left Politician on Child Protection
