This is entirely unsurprising. And its an indictment of every Senator who voted to confirm Pam Bondi. She got the job because she demonstrated she could be bribed into compliance by Trump. And here we are.

Looks like the DOJ just dropped some of the Epstein files. Our entire team has begun a major review. We will keep the American people updated - but it’s clear that this is not a full release. We will continue to provide updates. Here’s the drop:

For far too long, U.S. energy policy has placed energy producers’ interest above the interest of the American people. I teamed up with Rep. Jennifer McClellan and Senator Dick Durbin to introduce the FERC Greenhouse Gas and Environmental Justice Policy Act of 2025, legislation
