The Wall Street Journal reports that Donald Trump’s name appears repeatedly in the Epstein Files, and he, his Attorney General, the FBI Director, and his lapdogs in Congress are engaged in a massive cover-up scandal. They’re fighting, fibbing, floundering, and doing anything they can to distract from it.

This week, Speaker Johnson shut the House floor down rather than put Trump at risk of more scrutiny. With House Democrats ready to vote for the files’ release -- and juuust enough Republican rabble-rousers signed on to force a vote on the House floor -- Republican leadership decided to take their ball and go home.

Weeks before a massive government funding deadline, Republicans are refusing to do their jobs and fleeing Washington -- all to protect Donald Trump.

In the meantime, Trump himself is doing whatever he can to distract from the scandal. He threatened to “go after” President Obama. He’s posting wildly unhinged conspiracy theories. And he released thousands of secret FBI files on Martin Luther King, Jr. against the King family’s wishes. (Not the files we all want to see, Donald!)

As Trump’s own son once said about these very same documents: “Show us all the Epstein client list now!!! Why would anyone protect those scumbags?”

Epstein’s victims deserve truth and transparency, and so does the public. Here’s what you can do right now to keep pushing for truth, while simultaneously driving a wedge into the MAGA base:

☎️ Call your GOP representative to demand release of the Epstein Files. We’re putting House Republicans on the spot: Do they support releasing the Epstein files, or are they fine with a Trump loyalist burying the truth.

💬 Use our “Truth & Share” social toolkit to keep chatter about the Epstein Cover-up going online. We released this new social tool to break through online noise with posts that toxify Trump among wide swaths of Americans. You can find the latest shareable tidbits on the Epstein scandal there.

🥵 Get your Members of Congress (MoC) on the record in person. As MoCs return home for an extended August recess, you may have the opportunity to confront them at town halls, office visits, and other public spaces. Use the guide in our toolkit to make sure they have to answer you.


🪧 Support our billboards to keep the pressure on Trump and his enablers. (ActBlue) We’re rolling out billboards in key GOP districts to ensure Republicans can’t outrun this cover-up. Your support could help us greenlight more billboards -- maybe even mobile ones at state fairs! (more details below)

An update on our Trump-Epstein billboards

We received an overwhelming response when we asked for support to run billboards exposing Trump and Republicans' Epstein Cover-up. Thanks to this community’s generosity, we’re able to expand our billboards into even more places -- including Speaker Johnson’s own district.


Billboard showing Donald Trump and Mike Johnson that reads 'Hey Mike Johnson, stop hiding. Release ALL the Epstein Files'
Johnson has done his best to block every vote on releasing the Epstein Files: going as far as shutting the House down to stop Democrats (and even a few MAGA Republicans) from forcing a floor vote on the matter.

If Trump's burying evidence, it’s Johnson who has handed him a shovel. He needs to be called out, so we’re bringing our billboard to his Louisiana district next. We're also considering mobile billboards we can roll out at state fairs in key battlegrounds.

If you’d like to maximize our billboard campaign and other efforts like it, please click here to chip in if you're able.

The Epstein Cover-up is cracking Trump’s MAGA base like few of his scandals before have, and on top of that, we deserve to know the truth. The folks harmed by Epstein deserve justice, and anyone involved with Epstein’s crimes must be held accountable.

We’ll continue to call for the release of the Epstein Files, and you can use this toolkit -- or any of the links up above -- to stand with us.

In solidarity,
Indivisible Team

P.S. Late yesterday, House Oversight Committee Democrats forced a successful vote to subpoena Epstein files, but given Trump and Johnson's unending obstruction, we're not counting on GOP cooperation or stopping our calls for a full House vote. Onward!
