MODERATORS
In September 2025, the Senate Judiciary Committee including EVERY DEMOCRAT and Representative Thomas Massie, filed a discharge petition in support of the bill. On November 12, the discharge petition received the minimum-required 218 signatures needed, from 4 Republican representatives and 214 Democratic Party representatives , forcing a House vote on the bill.
Before that in the House Rules Committee Republicans shot down a forced vote 8-4 along party lines.
Before that the House and Senate had voted on it along party lines with Democrats for and Republicans against.

These files are out because of the DNC and they would have been out last year if not for Republicans being against the release in solidarity.
Yeah, that's fair. Most Reps did hold it up, only to have almost all vote later to release it, for what reason, I still don't know, and the law is still being broken, as they were all supposed to have been released by now, mostly unredacted.
