The Epstein files represent potentially the most significant investigation into elite criminal networks in modern history. We’re talking about documented evidence of trafficking and abuse that touches some of the most powerful people in the world.

So where is the coverage? Where is the transparency? An administration that promised unprecedented openness to the American people has gone conspicuously silent on this issue. The files sit there, documented and real, yet the conversation around them has been muted at best.

This deserves our attention. This deserves answers. When those who promised to drain the swamp refuse to even acknowledge what might be the deepest, darkest part of it, we need to ask why. The victims of these crimes deserve justice. The public deserves truth. Our children deserve a system that pursues predators regardless of their wealth or connections.

Why are we accepting this silence? What happened to the promise of exposing corruption wherever it exists? These are not partisan questions. These are human questions. If we cannot unite around protecting the most vulnerable and holding the powerful accountable for abuse, what can we unite around?

The lack of outrage is itself outrageous.
