President Donald Trump abruptly reversed his longstanding opposition to public disclosure of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein's network, telling House Republicans to back a measure requiring the Department of Justice to release Epstein-related files. He previously labelled the disclosure effort a “hoax” and actively resisted it, but as bipartisan and intraparty pressure mounted—including from conservative lawmakers—the tide shifted and he pledged to sign the bill if passed.The legislation mandates the DOJ to publish all unclassified records tied to Epstein's investigations within 30 days, with limited allowances for redactions only to protect victims or continuing probes; it explicitly bars withholding records on the basis of embarrassment or political sensitivity. The move comes amid growing scrutiny of Epstein's ties to powerful figures and renewed demands for accountability, even as questions linger about Trump's motivations for this pivot and whether it signals a genuine commitment to transparency or a tactical retreat under mounting pressure.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:How Trump reversed course on the Epstein files as his administration faces lingering suspicion about their release | CNN Politics

Erin and Alyssa give a big update on Epstein news, from Congress's measure to compel the DOJ to release the files, Megyn Kelly's disgusting (and confusing) pedophilia apologia, and Marjorie Taylor Greene's Makeover-Apology Tour. Then CNN's Abby Phillip joins to discuss her new book A Dream Deferred: Jesse Jackson and the Fight for Black Political Power, and the state of the media landscape one year post-election. They wrap up with some Solicited Advice on dealing with conspiracy theorist boyfriends and the perfect nail color for an important job interview.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

This past weekend — after months of deflection from the Trump administration — came a sudden tone shift from President Trump himself, who urged House Republicans to support a measure compelling the Justice Department to release the Epstein files. Mary and Andrew begin here, noting that Trump could just as easily release the files himself without a vote. Next, they review an order to release all grand jury material in James Comey's case, after the judge blasted the Justice Department for potential misconduct. And before wrapping up, Mary and Andrew head to the latest in the JGG case and Judge Boasberg's contempt proceeding, after a district court ruled to allow the case before him to proceed.  Sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts to listen to this show and other MS podcasts without ads.

Donald Trump has finally thrown in the towel and caved on releasing the Epstein files after realizing that up to 100 House Republicans planned to reject the President's directive and vote for the disclosure. Trump's incredible about-face — from calling the issue a "Democratic hoax" one day to urging Republicans to vote for release the next — shows just how much his influence over the MAGA coalition has weakened.  Jimmy claims this episode reveals a broader collapse of Trump's control as lawmakers, donors, and influencers increasingly resist him over issues from foreign policy to worker visas. This Epstein-file vote provides yet more evidence that Trump's political power has fractured and that his base is now holding him accountable rather than following him. Plus segments on Trump's unhinged meltdown over Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene's MAGA apostasy and Trump's secret plan to keep the Epstein files hidden. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a hilarious phone call from JD Vance!

This is a warning signal of trouble, but trouble does not always come. What is fair to say is that Hindenburg Omen signals have appeared at every major stock market top going back several decades. - According to Tom McClellan: The current count of 5 signals is not as big as some other clusters. But we got 4 signals in a cluster at the end of 2021, ahead of the 2022 bear market. So 4 is enough, if the market is inclined to live up to this warning. And 2 signals were enough back in December 2024 and March 2025 to tell us about the trouble in the market which unfolded in the April 2025 tariff reaction minicrash. But 5 is better.

Today's Headlines: Trump did a full-speed-reverse on Sunday night, suddenly telling House Republicans to go ahead and vote for releasing the Epstein files—after spending months trying to stop exactly that. By Monday he was even claiming he'd sign a bill to release them, adding the very believable disclaimer: “but don't talk about it too much.” To change the subject, he floated a new promise: $2,000 “tariff dividend” checks for middle-income Americans next year—right around the midterms. Nothing says “stop asking about sexual misconduct” quite like a surprise government check. Meanwhile, FBI Director Kash Patel's country singer girlfriend has been assigned her own FBI security detail—yes, on your dime—which is unusual even by this administration's standards. Airports should be mostly back to normal this week now that FAA restrictions are lifted with the end of the shutdown. At FEMA, acting director David Richardson resigned after a rough seven months and a disastrously mishandled Texas flood response. Karen Evans, FEMA's current chief of staff, will take over. Markets took a nosedive, with the major indexes seeing their worst day since Liberation Day. The AI bubble might finally be bursting, especially after new filings showed Peter Thiel's fund and SoftBank both dumped their Nvidia stakes. Finally, a new mental health study found that social media creators are burning out at alarming rates—1 in 10 have had suicidal thoughts tied directly to their work, two-thirds say their self-worth drops when posts underperform, and nearly 70% say their income is totally unpredictable. The Internet economy is thriving; its workers are not.

Congress is set to vote today, November 18, 2025, on the Epstein Files Transparency Act, a bill that would compel the Department of Justice to release as much information as legally possible about its investigations into Jeffrey Epstein. The legislation comes after months of partisan infighting, petitions to bypass leadership, and public pressure from both parties. Initially opposed by President Donald Trump and House GOP leadership, the measure gained momentum when more than half of House members—including every Democrat and several Republicans—signed a discharge petition to force the vote. Trump reversed his stance over the weekend, now urging Republicans to support the release, a dramatic shift that has reshaped the political landscape surrounding the issueThe vote carries major implications for transparency, political accountability, and the balance of power between Congress and the executive branch. If passed, the bill would require the DOJ to disclose files that could shed light on Epstein's network of political and financial connections, which have long fueled speculation across party lines. The debate has fractured the GOP, with figures like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene clashing publicly with Trump, while bipartisan sponsors such as Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) have pushed the measure forward. Beyond its immediate political drama, the vote represents a rare bipartisan effort to force disclosure in one of the most controversial criminal cases of recent decades, raising questions about how much the government has withheld and what revelations could follow.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:House Republicans brace for Epstein files vote led by Trump foe Thomas Massie | Fox NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Donald Trump's abrupt reversal on the Epstein records has become one of the most glaring political flip-flops in recent memory. For months, Trump and his inner circle framed any push to release Epstein-related documents as a partisan “hoax,” dismissing public demands for transparency and urging GOP lawmakers to block efforts to bring the bill to a vote. Behind closed doors, allies fiercely pressured Republicans to stall the process, arguing that further disclosures would damage the party and derail the 2024 narrative. Influencers aligned with Trump publicly mocked the idea that anything meaningful would come from the files, while his legal and political operatives insisted there was “nothing to see” and that pressing the issue was a left-wing talking point.Now, with political pressure intensifying and new revelations drawing scrutiny toward members of his own orbit, Trump has executed a whiplash-inducing pivot—suddenly calling on Republicans to vote for the bill that would force the release of all remaining Epstein documents. After months of obstruction, he now claims he has “nothing to hide” and casts himself as a champion of transparency, urging the GOP to fall in line. Critics argue that this isn't courage, but survival instinct: a desperate move to reclaim control of a narrative that has spun far outside his grasp. Whether this shift is a sincere change of heart or a calculated attempt to contain political fallout is the question burning across the political landscape—because if full transparency truly arrives, it won't just expose enemies. It will expose everyone.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Trump says House Republicans should vote to release Epstein files in stunning reversal: 'Nothing to hide' | New York Post

President Trump reverses his position on the Epstein files. AP correspondent Mike Hempen reports.

House and Senate come back for the first time in eight weeks … Trump reverses course on Epstein files, calls on House Republicans to pass the resolution … House prepares to vote to overturn a smelly provision benefiting selected U.S. senators … rare Democrat-on-Democrat violence rears its ugly head, to be seen this week on the House floor … Utah GOP takes it on the chin and loses a seat in the redistricting wars, while Indiana Republicans back off — and get new pressure from the White House … all this and more.

On today's podcast:1) The Justice Department would have to publicly release unclassified records relating to the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein under a House proposal set for a vote this week. On Sunday, President Trump said House Republicans should vote to require the DOJ to release the files, effectively reversing a position he’d held for months. Trump has been under increasing pressure from some within his party to release the investigative materials on the disgraced financier, who ran an underage sex ring and died in prison in 2019. A congressional committee last week released some 20,000 pages of emails and other documents, pivoting attention away from the fight over the government shutdown and forcing the White House to respond.2) US airlines will be able to resume normal operations starting Monday after more than a week of government-mandated flight reductions. The US Department of Transportation and Federal Aviation Administration announced late Sunday they would lift cuts across 40 major US airports that were imposed during the government shutdown, starting from 6 a.m. Monday New York time. On Friday, officials earlier eased up on flight reductions, capping them at 3% from 6%. The cuts first went into effect on November 7th at a rate of 4% and were supposed to slowly increase to 10% by November 14th. However, the government froze the rate at 6% Wednesday, shortly before President Trump signed legislation to end the longest federal closure in US history. 3) Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said President Trump’s proposal to send $2,000 “dividend” payments from tariffs to US citizens would require congressional approval. Trump, who has touted the billions raised in US tariff revenue this year, has talked about the checks as public frustration mounts over the cost of living. Speaking to reporters on Air Force One on Friday, Trump said the checks would go out sometime next year to “everybody but the rich.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
