(America First Report)—Democrats in the House Rules Committee seized on populist support for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files, forcing a vote that made Republicans on the committee look foolish on Monday
Congressman Ro Khanna filed an amendment that had all but one Republican on the committee voting against it, reinforcing the narrative that Capitol Hill GOP members support the cover-up. Congressman Ralph Norman was the only Republican who voted in favor of the amendment.
“Mr. Speaker, I introduce today an amendment demanding the full release of the Epstein files,” declared Khanna ahead of the vote on Monday. “The Speaker’s Rules Committee should demand a vote tomorrow of every member of Congress: yes, we should release it; or no, we should not. This is a question of whose side are you on? Are you on the side of protecting the rich and the powerful who put their thumb on the scales of government to suck out millions of dollars while working class Americans suffer? Or are you on the side of the people?”
He continued, “The attorney general said on her desk was the Epstein files and now she’s saying, ‘No, no, no, nothing to see, don’t release it.’ This is a question of trust. We need to release the Epstein files so we can restore government of the people by the people and for people, and every member of Congress tomorrow should be forced to vote on this amendment.”
For over a week, the White House has been embroiled in a public relations nightmare following a declaration by the Department of Justice that despite having over 10,000 videos depicting child sex crimes related to Jeffrey Epstein, nobody would be investigated, charged, arrested, or prosecuted. Moreover, they declared that Epstein killed himself and there is no “client list.”
Khanna and other Democrats have pretended to be in favor of releasing all of the Epstein files being held by the DoJ, though they were conspicuously silent on the issue for years. Now, with President Donald Trump being criticized by some of his most loyal MAGA influencers, Democrats have pounced.
🚨🇺🇸 HOUSE REPUBLICANS BLOCK EPSTEIN FILE VOTE: 7-5
It’s official.
The House Rules Committee voted 7–5 to block Rep. Ro Khanna’s amendment demanding a full vote on releasing the Epstein files.
All 4 Democrats and just 1 Republican, Ralph Norman, voted yes.

So strange. The ‘God-fearing’ Republicans just blocked the release of the Epstein List that exposes the Child Traffickers. pic.twitter.com/0kIVF01Q5w

Republicans should be supporting it 100%, not to defy the White House but to support the will of the people. Democrats are bluffing because they know the GOP will not go against President Trump. For once, the GOP should have surprised them.
Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
