Left to right, U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) look on during a news conference with alleged victims of disgraced financier and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein outside the U.S. Capitol on Sept. 3, 2025, in Washington, D.C. Chip Somodevilla TNS

Sun Herald readers weigh in on local and national topics.

Epstein files

It’s not the “delusional Democrats” who are pushing for the release of the Epstein files. It’s President Trump’s Republican base and survivors of Epstein’s atrocities who are most vocal in calling for release of the files, pointing to a campaign promise yet unfulfilled. Although introduced by a Democrat, The Epstein Files Transparency Act has growing bipartisan support.

Release them all

I’m old enough to remember when Pam Bondi said she had all the Epstein files sitting on her desk and would soon be releasing them.

Keep deporting them

Love the work being done by the Trump administration as it relates to the deporting of people here illegally. It’s something that should have been done long ago.

Short-term pain

I keep reading about how businesses will suffer because of the increased attention being paid to illegal immigration. Great. Let’s rip the Band-Aid off at last.

FEMA

I agree completely with the idea of eliminating FEMA and letting state’s take the lead in disaster recovery. Let the people with local knowledge make local decisions.

National Guard

If we’re going to have Mississippi folks cleaning up trash in Washington D.C., it seems like the least they could do is redirect them back home to help out in Jackson.

Chicago next

Someone needs to clean up Chicago. And if the governor of Illinois has such a problem with Guard troops, maybe he should find some of his own folks to help out.
