The Epstein administration in Washington refuses to release the remaining files.
If there’s nothing to hide, why keep them classified?
Transparency builds trust. Silence breeds suspicion.
What are they afraid we might see?

Commentary: Democrats in the Colorado Legislature have taken steps every year to erode transparency around what they do. Voters this year might have a chance to push back and declare for themselves a "fundamental right to know."

Amazing how something as “small” as FOIA ends up propping up all of democratic society.

Remove transparency and the whole thing shakes.
Protect it, use it, defend it.

Democracy stands because the public can see. 💡

It’s #SunshineWeek! ☀️ At EPIC, we utilize #OpenGovernment laws, like FOIA, to expose secretive government surveillance programs and prevent the exploitation of people's data.

Stay tuned this all this week to see how we leverage these laws for public good: epic.org/rays-ing-the...

Speaker Johnson, you're the gatekeeper now. Will you enable a partial cover-up or let the House vote on releasing Epstein’s files? The public interest can’t be sidelined any longer. Do your duty. #OpenGovernment

Kudos to Vermillion for being proactive about discussing #datacenters with the public. We hope they keep the conversation going & together come up w/a vision for their community. #transparency #opengovernment

While no plans exist to place a data center in or around Vermillion, the area's Chamber and Development Company is holding discussions on the topic to garner public feedback.

We lost nearly 95,000 federal scientists, educators & public servants in 2025. There's no centralized place for them to connect, be found, or keep their missions alive.

Government needs to start now for '28
