To federal officials entrusted with protecting the American people: The patience of the American public is gone. Kash Patel holds influence in matters tied to national security and federal law enforcement. That role demands seriousness, discipline, and results. Years after the exposure of Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal enterprise, there have been no major U.S.-based arrests connected to his broader network. Survivors of Epstein’s abuse are still waiting to see powerful individuals held accountable. They are still waiting for justice that was publicly promised. And while they wait, they see images of federal officials celebrating and spending time partying and drinking in a U.S. hockey locker room. That is not a neutral image. That is not harmless optics. To survivors who have yet to see accountability, it is a slap in the face. Every hour spent celebrating while investigations remain unresolved raises serious questions about priorities. Every taxpayer dollar used on travel, security, and public appearances must be justified — especially when there have been no visible enforcement outcomes in cases of this magnitude. Meanwhile, Nancy Guthrie has still not been found. A missing person case of this seriousness should command relentless federal urgency. The assassination attempt at Mar-a-Lago raised profound national security concerns that require transparency and decisive action. Reports of U.S. citizens trapped or endangered in Mexico demand focused federal intervention. The American people do not fund law enforcement agencies so officials can celebrate in locker rooms while victims wait for justice and families wait for answers. We fund them to make arrests, file charges, dismantle criminal networks, and protect our citizens. This is not partisan. This is not performative. This is about responsibility. If evidence exists, arrests should be made. If investigations are active, the public deserves updates. If taxpayer funds are being spent, measurable results must follow. Survivors are watching. Families are waiting. Citizens are paying. Do your job and deliver justice!
