On February 28th, the United States and Israel launched military strikes against Iran. No Congressional authorization. No declaration of war. No public presentation of intelligence. No debate. Just a decision — made by one man, President Donald J. Trump, in consultation with Israel — that sent American missiles into a sovereign nation and started a war that is now killing American service members. They're calling it an operation. "Operation Epic Fury." What story was gaining momentum before February 28th? What conversation was building in the public consciousness — across party lines, across the political spectrum — that suddenly became impossible to sustain once the bombs started falling? The Epstein files. Sealed. Still sealed. Despite promises. Despite pressure. Despite a bipartisan coalition of Americans who have demanded for years to know whose names are in those documents. Even though the Trump administration — which campaigned loudly on transparency, on draining swamps, on exposing elites — has had every opportunity to release them and has not. The files remain sealed. And the day after the bombs fell on Iran, nobody was talking about the files anymore.
