Day 185 Agenda

1. 🎲 Epstein grand-jury transcripts under review

A federal judge overseeing DOJ’s motion to unseal Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell grand-jury transcripts asked the department for additional briefing by July 29, 2025 before ruling.
Trump’s DOJ—via AG Pam Bondi and Deputy AG Todd Blanche—has formally requested that those transcripts be unsealed, citing strong public interest while promising redactions for victims.
But legal analysts warn that grand‑jury records are tightly sealed by law; even if released, they may contain only agent summaries, not direct witness testimony.

2. 🪄 GOP distract-o-thon: the “autopen scandal”

House Oversight Chair James Comer is probing whether former President Biden used an autopen (automated signature device) to sign pardons—despite longstanding precedent and legality dating back decades.
Meanwhile, Comer himself has signed official letters and subpoenas via a digital signature, deeply undermining his credibility.
Biden’s team dismissed the claims, saying he personally made key decisions and that autopen usage is routine and lawful.

3. 🔍 Project 2025 surveillance expansion: fusion centers, AI tracking

Project 2025—the MAGA blueprint for a second Trump presidency—advocates consolidating federal agencies and centralizing executive power. It envisions deploying “religious right” ideologues, purging civil servants, and expanding federal control over domestic policy.
While recent chatter about AI‑driven domestic “extremist” tracking isn’t tied to a specific new memo, concerns persist: fusion centers (regional intel hubs) already operate with minimal oversight, funding, and access to surveillance tools Brennan Center for Justice.
Activists, including the ACLU, continue pushing for court oversight, exposing how these centers collect protest data and monitor communities of color aclu.org.

Join or organize local actions: Host screenings or teach-ins on surveillance tools and Project 2025’s power grab—demand that elected officials pledge not to support it.

Demand transparency now: Call your members of Congress and ask them to publicly push for the release of Epstein and Maxwell grand‑jury transcripts—no more foot‑dragging until after July 29.

Expose the deflection: Share fact‑checks debunking the “autopen scandal” (legal, normal) and slot in coverage of Comer’s digital signature hypocrisy.

Fight the surveillance state: Pressure your rep to support federal bills that reform fusion centers and prohibit use of AI to track citizen speech or protest.

Amplify survivor voices: Donate to organizations representing Epstein survivors and promote their demands for unredacted justice.
