Rep. Ralph Norman Becomes Third Republican to Sign Epstein Files Transparency Act II Petition

Rep. Ralph Norman, a Republican from South Carolina, has signed a discharge petition aimed at forcing a House vote on the Epstein Files Transparency Act II. This makes him the third Republican to support the petition, joining 10 Democrats who signed on September 14. The petition now has a total of 117 signatures. The Epstein Files Transparency Act II seeks to enhance mechanisms for the release of records related to Jeffrey Epstein and establish new avenues for victims and officials to challenge the Justice Department regarding withheld or redacted documents. The petition requires 218 signatures to successfully force a vote, meaning it is currently 101 signatures short of the necessary threshold. Other Republican signers include Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, who initiated the petition, and Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina. Notably, Lauren Boebert, who supported a previous Epstein files discharge petition despite opposition from the Trump White House, has not yet signed this new effort.

Congressman Andy Barr Applauds Trump EPA's Repeal of Power Plant Emission Rules, Citing Economic Benefits for Kentucky

Congressman Andy Barr Applauds Trump EPA's Repeal of Power Plant Emission Rules, Citing Economic Benefits for Kentucky

U.S. Congressman Andy Barr (R-KY-06) has commended President Trump and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin for their decision to repeal greenhouse gas regulations on coal- and natural gas-fired power plants. This action, described by the EPA as the largest power-sector deregulatory move in U.S. history, aims to roll back what Barr refers to as the 'war on coal' initiated by previous administrations. The EPA estimates this repeal will save Americans approximately $310 billion, with an additional $370 million in direct compliance cost savings for companies from eliminating remaining greenhouse gas-related power plant regulations. Barr stated that this decision will help lower energy costs for Kentuckians and bring back coal jobs to the state. The Kentucky Coal Association and other industry groups have also praised the move, emphasizing its potential to protect critical power infrastructure and ensure affordable, reliable power.
