Speaker Mike Johnson claims the Epstein files can’t be released unredacted because they contain intelligence-agency material that falls under national security. He says it’s dangerous to force the DOJ to declassify documents they didn’t create, especially when they involve other agencies like the CIA or NSA. Johnson warns that releasing the Epstein files unredacted would put national security at risk.

Tonight’s outcome isn’t about placing faith in Democrats or socialist principles; it’s about holding Republicans accountable for betraying their promises. All Republicans had to do was: 1. put Americans First 2. not start another war 3. prosecute sex traffickers

The treadmill was invented in 1818 to punish prisoners, and Britain eventually took it out of its jails for being too cruel. Its designer, the engineer William Cubitt, looked at convicts lying idle and decided they needed the habit of industry. His machine was a long wooden wheel with steps set into it, wide enough for a row of men. They climbed, the wheel turned under them, and they climbed again. The regulation day was six hours: fifteen minutes on, five off, in silence. At the standard speed that came to 8,640 feet of climbing a day, nearly twice the height of Ben Nevis. In some prisons the wheel ground corn. In others it was connected to nothing at all, and the men called it grinding the wind. Dozens of English prisons installed one. Oscar Wilde was put on one at Pentonville. The Prison Act of 1898 ended them, and by 1902 the last had stopped turning. In the late 1960s an American engineer started selling one for the home, and the modern gym is now built around rows of them facing a wall, with a television to stop you noticing. The punishment was never the climbing. It was the hours: the same movement at the same pace, going nowhere, until the will gave out before the legs did. Building anyone up was never part of the sentence. Anyone over 60 who walks into a gym today gets pointed straight at the machine Britain retired from its prisons, and steered away from the barbell, the one thing in the building that would keep them off the floor.
