ICYMI This Week: Rep. Meeks Votes to End the Secrecy and Release the Epstein Files

 

Congressman Meeks Votes to Release the Epstein Files 

I voted to require the Trump administration to release the full Epstein Files. Survivors deserve justice and the American people deserve the truth. We'll see if Trump honors the law, but one thing is clear: I will keep fighting to hold anyone involved accountable for these crimes - no matter how wealthy or well-connected they are.

 

Congressional Leaders Urge Secretary Rubio to Increase Support to Jamaica After Hurricane Melissa 

The members sent a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio urging U.S. engagement in support of Jamaica’s recovery and electrical infrastructure reconstruction following Hurricane Melissa. 

 

"This presents both a strategic opportunity and a vulnerability for U.S. interests,” the lawmakers wrote. “If Jamaica must rely on foreign expertise, financing, and equipment to rebuild its electrical grid, the United States should encourage competitive opportunities for American firms and workers to provide such support.

“The Trump Administration has not provided a credible rationale for its 21 unauthorized military strikes on vessels in the Western Hemisphere, which have resulted in the extrajudicial killings of dozens of individuals. Nor has this administration explained why it has deployed an invasion-level force of roughly 15,000 troops, a carrier strike group, and military aircraft for a mission it claims is about counter-narcotics. This posture is wildly disproportionate to the stated objective and far more reminiscent of preparations for war.”
