It’s not bonkers. Ro Khana and Massey rushed the bill. There’s literally ZERO consequences for breaking this law written into it. They should have spent an extra ten seconds thinking: “ Hmm what if the law breaking republicans decide to break this law?”

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

They did. They didn't care. It was all theatrics. They all get paid by the same billionaires.
Massie was the only male Republican interested in this. Sometimes you strike while the iron is hot.
The courts can't order us to follow the Epstein Files Transparency Act unless Congress passes a law saying the courts can order us to follow the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
If there were any justice in the world, the judge would slam Bondi's head into his bench instead of using a gavel as he dismisses this motion.
The paedophiles are getting so desperate, they’re just openly declaring their guilt now. That’s neat.
They still haven't released them despite a law being written just to make them release the files, so apparently it is working.
Our government is so broken they could stop releasing stuff and get away with it. If/when democrats our back in charge maybe they'd get released.
Democrats would declare that it's time to move on and let bygones be bygones.
