In a call for his Republican colleagues to break with President Trump, Rep. Thomas Massie is pushing for the release of the Epstein files, emphasizing the long-term ramifications of their decision. Massie is leading a “discharge petition” that could force a vote to compel the Department of Justice to release the files, despite opposition from House leadership. The initiative gained enough support after the swearing in of a Democratic Rep., with new documents released also mentioning Donald Trump, while the White House has criticized the efforts as a smear campaign.

The Trump administration removed the congressionally mandated “Not One More Report” on missing and murdered Native Americans from the Department of Justice website nearly 300 days ago, citing compliance with an executive order targeting diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. The report, produced by the Not Invisible Act of 2020, aimed to provide solutions and educate the public on the crisis affecting Indigenous communities. Senators who championed the legislation, like Catherine Cortez Masto, expressed outrage and have reached out to the administration to have the report restored. The report detailed recommendations for alleviating the crisis, and its removal has been criticized as a misclassification of tribal nations and a lack of understanding regarding the issue.

President Donald Trump was photographed near a White House flag that appeared to be touching the ground, sparking criticism. This raised questions about a potential violation of the U.S. Flag Code, which prohibits the flag from touching the ground. However, the White House denied the flag was touching the ground, citing high winds and the necessity to lower the flag into a container for the Marine One landing as the reason for the photo.
