A fresh Epstein-files push in Congress is colliding with a huge Republican shakeup, and both are bad news for Trump's grip on his own party.

• Congressman Thomas Massie says he has enough signatures to force a vote on a new Epstein Files Transparency Act, which would let abuse survivors, members of Congress, and state attorneys general sue the attorney general directly if he keeps withholding records.
• Massie claims Trump privately warned an ally that releasing more files would "get my friends hurt," and argues Trump fears being dragged down by associates even if he's not named in the documents himself.
• He blames the historic midterm losses on Trump breaking three promises at once: hiding the Epstein files, abandoning promised spending cuts, and starting a new Middle East war instead of ending old ones.
• Separately, Nvidia's CEO is reportedly stepping down after affair allegations, a leadership gap at the world's most important tech company with no clear successor in place.
• Massie says a push to end warrantless government surveillance quietly died after momentum built, and the new White House chief of staff is seen as unlikely to curb aggressive executive actions on immigration and privacy.

Outlook: Expect a House floor vote on the new Epstein bill soon, with pressure building on the Justice Department even as Nvidia's leadership vacuum becomes an immediate market concern.
