It hard to keep up but Maga policy on the Epstein files is:
1. When I am elected, I shall release the Epstein files…… Trump campaign.
2. The files are on my desk right now for review…… Bondi.
3. I am releasing the Epstein files…… Bondi on releasing old hat public knowledge.
4. The Epstein files contain nothing of consequence. Case closed. ……DoJ/FBI leaked memo.
5. The Epstein files were all written by Obama, Clinton and Biden. They are fake news………Trump on Truth Social.
All clear as mud.

Trump has issued his policy on arms for Ukraine. Arms will flow to Ukraine through NATO and European countries will pay for them. If Putin does nothing to promote peace, I will strengthen secondary sanctions after 50 days.
Zelinski is pleased, NATO and Trump have moved closer together, Russia is relieved it is not worse for them.
So, some progress towards unity in the west. Trump has seen Putin is not his friend. Better.

Another (much more damning take) on the Epstein files, this time from Ben Meiselas at Meidastouch:

Erm - Trump has allowed Europe to arm Ukraine - nothing will flow through - Europe will pay for new kit and Ukraine will get the old kit - that will take months to appear whereas Trump could have provided new kit much quicker.

Trump gives Putin carte blanch to do what he wants for 50 days when he knows TACO will do nothing. Also knowing that after 50 days he will also do nothing.

Agreed it is progress but not much

Hard to tell how this will all turn out, but it's got the potential to cause huge problems for Trump.
