About three-quarters of Americans support the release of all files related to the Jeffrey Epstein case, a new PBS News/NPR/Marist poll finds.

Another 13% want some of the Epstein files released, while only 9% don’t want any documents released.

Once newly elected Rep. Adelita Grijalva, D-Ariz., is sworn in, she is expected to sign on to a House effort to make the files public. Grijalva, the daughter of late Rep. Raúl Grijalva, would provide the critical 218th signature to force a vote over the majority threshold. But House Speaker Mike Johnson has delayed swearing in the new lawmaker, saying it would not happen until regular session resumes next week, a move that Grijalva sees as intentional in order to push off the Epstein petition.

      Fair, I should have qualified it as “otherwise somewhat intelligent”

      Like, after some recent Trump fuckery in recent months past, I wanted to know what an otherwise not-entirely-braindead old classmate of mine, later turned conservative radio pundit, thought of the mess; I then soon discovered that he’s currently in prison for kiddy diddling.
