Good evening, everyone. Another week is in the books. This past week, and especially this weekend, was extremely busy. Today itself was relatively slow, so I wanted to take the opportunity to bring you a more thorough end of week update and outline what you should expect in the days ahead. The coming week is shaping up to be a very busy and consequential one.
Before getting into the news, I want to thank all of you who read, share, and especially those who subscribe. Over the past 72 hours, I have been combing through the Epstein files tirelessly. This work is demanding and often exhausting, but I am incredibly proud of what we are building. There are many people who want me to stop, who want me to stay silent. I refuse. Now more than ever, we need truth, and that is exactly what I am providing. If you are able, please subscribe so we can keep building this work together.

This evening, we learned that media censorship is alive and well. A 60 Minutes program was scheduled to air tonight highlighting an investigation into CECOT, the terrorism detention facility in El Salvador. The program was expected to detail the “tortious” conditions that migrants reportedly experienced inside the facility. Just a few hours before it was set to air, CBS announced without explanation that the programming schedule had changed and that the CECOT segment would no longer be broadcast.
The sudden cancellation has raised serious concerns. There is growing speculation that the program was pulled because it would have portrayed this administration in a negative light. Specifically, the investigation reportedly examined the transfer of numerous individuals to the facility, including Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
If confirmed, this reporting would raise significant questions about detention practices, government accountability, and the treatment of migrants under U.S. policy. The lack of transparency surrounding the decision to pull the segment only deepens those concerns.
Looking ahead, this week remains critically important even with the Christmas holiday approaching. While Washington typically slows during this period, the Epstein files remain very much in focus. The Department of Justice is expected to “release” additional files this week. Today, the Justice Department acknowledged that there are still “hundreds of thousands” of Epstein related documents in its possession that have not yet been released to the public as it repeatedly had to cover-up it’s failures during the Epstein files release. Members of Congress are drafting inherent contempt proceedings and Congressman Robert Garcia is even calling for whistleblowers to come forward.
The Justice Department’s actions are alarming. Setting aside the clear violation of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, survivors continue to demand answers as this Justice Department stonewalls them. Many survivors are still being denied access to their own complaint documents, an action that is both legally questionable and morally indefensible. Each delay reinforces the perception that justice is being deliberately obstructed.
At the same time, we are rapidly approaching the end of the year, and that deadline carries real consequences. Affordable Care Act subsidies are set to expire in just days. Congress is not expected to act before the end of the year, leaving millions of Americans facing potential increases in healthcare costs. Attention now turns to whether states will take action to protect access to healthcare at a moment when the federal government has failed to do so.
Throughout the week ahead, I will be conducting several important interviews with candidates for office, members of Congress, and other key figures. These conversations will focus on accountability, transparency, and the decisions being made behind closed doors.
There is much happening beneath the surface, and much of it is being intentionally ignored or obscured. This work exists to bring those facts into the open.
Thank you for everything. I will see you in the morning.
