Katie f'n Phang! [View all]

She did what nobody else dared to do. She challenged Todd Blanche for illegally not following the Epstein Transparency Act. The Judge agreed with her in a 48-page ruling.

She is no Big Media name. She is an independent journalist. She argued that she had standing as a journalist and she could not do her job if the Epstein files, redacted and unredacted, were not released to the public.

She deserves our thanks and appreciation for a job very well done. The DOJ has until Tuesday to decide what they are going to do? They have been breaking the law since December of last year. The Court has ruled against them.

Katie Phang rules the day!
