The Department of Justice has repeatedly argued that it cannot meet the congressionally mandated deadline to release all Jeffrey Epstein–related documents because of the massive volume of material and the need to review and redact sensitive information, particularly the identities of alleged victims, before publication. DOJ officials have said that millions of documents are still under review and that hundreds of attorneys and over 400 reviewers are working through the backlog, but they have also acknowledged that only a tiny fraction—less than 1 percent—of the files have been made public well past the Dec. 19, 2025 statutory deadline. The department further resisted efforts by lawmakers to appoint a special master or independent monitor to oversee compliance, claiming that Congress's cosponsors lack standing in the Maxwell criminal case and that judges do not have authority to compel faster action. In letters to the court, DOJ representatives have emphasized the logistical burden of the review and insisted the effort is ongoing, framing the delays as a byproduct of the sheer scale of the task rather than intentional obstruction.Critics have seized on the department's complaints as evidence of willful slowness, selective release, and a prioritization of protecting powerful individuals over transparency and accountability. Lawmakers, victims' advocates, and commentators have blasted the pace and extent of the release as insufficient to satisfy the bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act, and some have suggested the DOJ's invocation of redaction and procedural burden is being used as a pretext to conceal politically sensitive material. Bipartisan pressure has grown, with proposals for audits of the department's compliance and threats of contempt proceedings against top DOJ officials for failing to meet the law's requirements. Even a federal judge acknowledged the lawmakers' concerns were “undeniably important,” though he declined to intervene directly. The frustration stems from the perception that the department's complaints about being bogged down are enabling continued opacity, retraumatizing survivors, and undermining public trust in the justice system's willingness to confront Epstein's network fully.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Top federal prosecutors ‘crushed' by Epstein files workload - POLITICO

The latest North State and California news on our airwaves for Friday, January 23, 2025.

In this episode of The Health Advocates, Steven Newmark breaks down a surprising moment of bipartisan agreement in Congress: a new Health and Human Services funding bill that includes meaningful wins for patients and public health. From protecting CDC and NIH funding to extending telehealth flexibilities and hospital-at-home programs, the bill also takes historic steps to reform Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs), aiming to make drug pricing more transparent and patient-centered. Steven walks through what’s in the legislation, what was left out, and why PBM reform could have a direct impact on out-of-pocket costs and medication access. Plus, what this deal signals about the power of patient advocacy in shaping policy—even in a divided political climate.

Virginia has five historically Black colleges and universities. Three are private and two public. Now, Michael Pope tells us they have new advocates in the halls of power.

Democrats and Republicans from Southwest Virginia agree: Appalachian Power ratepayers have seen unsustainable bill increases and something has to be done. Brad Kutner has this report. 

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin are back and podding harder than ever. Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Ish Kabibble's birthday, and National False Equivalency Day. So, who thought that giving Donald K. Trump a free Noble prize would placate him? It did not, as acquiesce only makes him angrier. Now Trump will take revenge against the Nobel Prize Committee in Norway by taking Greenland from Denmark. The world isn't laughing anymore, especially not at Billy Long joking about throwing Iceland in on the deal. Bernie Sanders trips over his own shtick. Back at home, most people hate everything that Trump is doing, because most people are sane. Bipartisan agreement between sane and insane can be found on the release of the Epstein files. People oppose ICE when the only thing keeping everyone from being shot are Donald's morals, which leaked out long before half of his brains did. Columbia University graduate Mahmoud Khalil might be rearrested as the law is rearranged to disfavor him. How does Lindsey Halligan not do it? Lindsey remains an attorney no matter what the law says, because the law is irrelevant to this administration.  Stinkiest human windfarm, Donald pardons the worst crap, as often as it pleases him, or makes others angry, he doesn't put much thought into it. Trump endorses a candidate who is not yet running against her opponent, who is an incumbent who usually supports him. Good news! Virginia welcomes Her Excellency, Governor Abigail Spanberger, already making state colleges and universities smarter. The state is also redistricting, in the good direction. Bad news! Anything being produced by Bari Weiss, and OG bad news, Fox News.

President Donald Trump says he does not see a reason now to invoke Insurrection Act and send the U.S. military to deal with anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis, but, he says, "If I needed it, I'd use it. It's very powerful"; House & Senate Democrats hold a hearing in Minneapolis to highlight what say are abuses by federal immigration officers carrying out raids in the city; President Trump suggests he may use tariffs against countries that block his efforts for the U.S. to acquire Greenland, while a bipartisan Congressional delegation meets with Danish and Greenlandic officials in Copenhagen to offer support for Greenland's territorial integrity; Venezuela's opposition leader Maria Corina Machado holds a news conference a day after meeting President Trump at the White House giving him the Nobel Peace Prize she won; Iranian opposition figure Reza Pahlavi, son of the last shah, says he should return to Iran and lead the country when the current wave of protests overthrows the Islamic Republic; President Trump highlights rural health care; Governors start delivering their annual state of the state addresses; NASA gets ready for the next mission to return to the moon, Artemis II.

On January 15, leaders from across Utah's civic and political landscape came together for a virtual discussion on how the state's shifting population is influencing organizing and electoral strategy. Katie Wright, Executive Director of the Utah Donor Collaborative, Emma Petty Addams, Co-Executive Director for Mormon Women for Ethical Government (MWEG), and Matt Lyon, Utah Lead for the Rural West Project—joined by moderator Reed Galen, Co-Founder of The Lincoln Project‬ and President of The Union—shared firsthand perspectives on the collaborative work underway to build durable, cross-partisan alliances across urban and rural communities.Throughout the conversation, the speakers underscored the central role of fair political representation in strengthening democracy, pointing to examples of Utahns finding common ground across ideological lines. They highlighted how shared values around accountability, participation, and representation have allowed unlikely partners to work together effectively.The panel also challenged the assumption that meaningful pro-democracy progress is limited to traditionally blue states. Drawing on lessons from Utah, they emphasized that red states should not be written off—arguing instead that sustained organizing, inclusive coalitions, and strategic engagement can and do create openings for democratic reforms, even in places long considered politically out of reach.Learn more about the Utah Donor Collaborative here: https://utahdonorcollaborative.com/ Learn more about MWEG here: https://www.mormonwomenforethicalgove...

In this year-end legislative wrap-up, host Retired Command Sgt. Maj. Doug Wortham sits down with key leaders to reflect on major accomplishments for Minnesota veterans in 2025 and priorities moving into 2026. The episode features insightful conversations with: Senator Aric Putnam (DFL-St. Cloud, Chair of the Veterans Subcommittee) – Discussing funding boosts for veterans homes, […] The post 2025 Legislative Year in Review – Bipartisan Wins for Veterans & Looking Ahead to 2026 appeared first on Minnesota Military Radio.

The House is moving toward a Thursday vote to revive health care tax credits that expired at the end of last year, marking an unusual moment of bipartisan agreement. Several Republicans are defying party leadership and teaming up with Democrats to force a vote on a three‑year extension that could pass in the House. Greg and Holly discuss the latest.

summary The conversation covers the dynamics of protests related to law enforcement actions, particularly in Minneapolis, and the political implications of government shutdowns. Congressman Davidson discusses the challenges faced by law enforcement, the impact of political agendas on public perception, and the need for biological data protection in the context of national security. takeaways Protests often arise from organized efforts by specific groups. Law enforcement actions can lead to significant public backlash. The political landscape influences the response to law enforcement incidents. Government shutdowns can be used strategically by political parties. Subsidies in healthcare can mask underlying program failures. The inflation of healthcare costs is exacerbated by government subsidies. Bipartisan support is crucial for effective legislation. Biological data protection is a growing concern in national security. The narrative around race and law enforcement is often manipulated for political gain. The impact of local governance on national issues is significant. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Donald Trump's Attorney General Pam Bondi apparently believes that she is above the law. She blatantly violated the Epstein Files Transparency Act by releasing only a small fraction of the files which is in violation of federal law. Bondi's lawlessness is serving to cover up the crimes of countless rich, influential, connected men. The two sponsors of the bill, (one a Republican and one Democrat) have announced they are drawing up articles of impeachment for Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche for their obvious, cavalier, and even and militant violation of federal law.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency would be required to create a universal disaster assistance application under a bill passed by the Senate last week. The goal of the Disaster Assistance Simplification Act is to make it easier for disaster survivors to access federal aid. Lawmakers say the current process is complex and time consuming, with different agencies using different forms. The bill would also require all information shared between FEMA and partner agencies to meet federal data security standards.

David Shedd critiques the bipartisan failure of allowing China into the World Trade Organization in 2001, which was based on the false assumption that economic engagement would lead to democratization.

The organization targets three core stakeholders: the corporate world, policymakers, and investors seeking startups where environmental solutions are baked into the bottom line. Peter Simek, EarthX's CEO, explains how reframing climate action around shared values—stewardship, economic opportunity, and love of the land—unlocks support that crisis messaging alone cannot reach.The doom story doesn't sell, Simek explained. “We're not motivated as a species by doomsday language. It puts people in fight-or-flight mode.” He points out how climate became an identity issue, tangled up in culture-war debates over hamburgers and gas-powered trucks, when the real conversation should center on clean air, clean water, and protecting the places we love. “The EPA and the Clean Air and Clean Water Act were passed during the Nixon administration,” he notes. “There are ways to message this that appeals across lines.”Simek bets heavily on bottom-up action as EarthX works to build bridges. States, cities, and private capital often move faster than federal mandates, he argues, and they're harder to reverse with a single executive order. Texas leads the nation in renewable energy deployment because wind and solar make bottom-line sense. “Even as there's a policy turn against it, there's still the driving reality that solar and wind are viable energy sources,” he says. A new event in 2026, the EarthX Institute, will focus on two policy priorities: nuclear energy, where bipartisan consensus is growing, and urban biodiversity.Whether conversations at forums like EarthX translate into policy velocity that matches the pace of climate impacts remains to be seen. Simek says he stays focused on tracking downstream results, specifically the investments funded, the coalitions built, and the policies incubated from the local level up. “It's about finding those ways in which there's common sense, common ground, common values,” he says. “Elements to talking about nature and the environment that no one can really disagree with.”Learn more about EarthX and its upcoming April 2026 conference at earthx.org.Subscribe to Sustainability In Your Ear on iTunesFollow Sustainability In Your Ear on Spreaker, iHeartRadio, or YouTube

Healthcare can be one of the biggest financial strains in the country, but it doesn't have to be. Congressman Sam Liccardo (D-CA) and Congressman Kevin Kiley (R-CA) discuss their effort to create a bipartisan solution that will alleviate problems within the American healthcare system, explaining how they have crossed party lines and put together a plan that has growing support from both Republicans and Democrats that not only addresses the expiring Obamacare subsidies, but saves money as well.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Last week, President Trump said he had no problem with the Pentagon releasing classified video of the boat strike that killed two survivors clinging to wreckage, but today he says he didn't say that. Now, with lawmakers in both parties seeking more transparency, we're Keeping Them Honest. Plus, the reward's now up to $15 million in the global manhunt for a fugitive Olympic snowboarder and alleged drug kingpin accused, among other things, of ordering the execution a federal witness against him.

Members of Congress from both parties are now supporting the release of the video showing the U.S. carrying out a double-tap strike on a speed boat in the Caribbean. The move reportedly killed two survivors of the initial attack that were in distress. With allegations of war crimes being discussed, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is refusing to say whether the Pentagon will be releasing the video, only that, “We're reviewing the process, and we'll see.”We'll visit with iHeart TV and radio political analyst Gary Dietrich and we'll talk politics with author, journalist and scholar.

A political and military firestorm is unfolding in Washington as lawmakers investigate whether the Trump administration attempted to shift blame onto a Navy admiral for a controversial “second strike” on a suspected drug-smuggling vessel. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth insists he's supporting his commanders, while the White House claims Admiral Frank M. Bradley directed the follow-on attack—despite reports suggesting Hegseth may have personally ordered the lethal strike. In this video, we break down the timeline, the competing accounts, and the mounting evidence behind the alleged September 2 incident, including:

The White House confirmed that the military fired twice at a suspected drug boat during its campaign of airstrikes in the Caribbean.
