Hey y’all — it’s Summer.
I need to tell you what just happened — because it’s HUGE:
Yesterday, my motion to subpoena the FULL, unredacted Jeffrey Epstein files from the Department of Justice PASSED in the House Oversight Subcommittee. And not by a squeaker — it passed 8 to 2 with bipartisan support.
That means the Department of Justice is now required to hand over those files to the Oversight Committee. This is an enormous step forward in our fight for truth, transparency, and justice for the victims.
This is the first time Congress has ever officially demanded these files. It’s real. It’s happening. And it’s because WE made it happen.
For years, powerful people have tried to bury the truth about Epstein and those in his orbit. They’ve counted on secrecy. Silence. Stalling. And just this week? Republicans literally tried to skip town to dodge the vote.
But I said: Nah. You’re gonna go on the record. And guess what? We forced their hand and the motion passed!
Because when you speak truth and fight with everything you’ve got — turns out that the people really notice!
Look — I brought this motion during a hearing that was supposed to be about protecting children. And I said straight-up: You can’t say you care about child safety while you cover for one of the worst sex traffickers in U.S. history.
You don’t get to have it both ways.
If we’re serious about protecting kids — from Epstein, from Trump’s cruel immigration policies, from this whole machine of power and abuse — then it starts with accountability. It starts with the truth. And it starts with electing people who don’t back down when things get uncomfortable or politically inconvenient.
That’s what we did yesterday. But I’m telling you now — this is just the start.
The DOJ has to hand over those files. And you better believe we’re gonna go through them, demand answers, and keep pushing until justice is served — no matter how powerful the names in those files may be.
But y’all know how this works. The more noise we make, the harder they’ll try to shut us down. So, I’m asking today:
I’m proud of what we did yesterday. And I’m proud to fight for a future where no one is above the law — not billionaires, not presidents, not princes, no one.
So, let’s keep going. Let’s keep fighting. Let’s keep pushing and demanding accountability. And let’s make sure folks know: We’re just getting started!
ALWAYS with the people,
Summer Lee
