From a press release:
“The Institute for Primary Facts (IPF) today announced that The Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room is officially moving to the nation’s capital in time for President Trump’s birthday.
Running between June 9-12, 2026, the first-of-its kind physical library will take over a space twice as large as the original New York location in D.C.’s Chinatown neighborhood near the White House and Department of Justice (DOJ). The installation will house all 3.5 million pages of unsealed court records and investigative files released by the DOJ, printed and bound into more than 3,400 individual volumes weighing more than 17,000 pounds.
The D.C. Reading Room is the next stop on what the organizers hope will become a national tour following the New York Reading Room’s viral success. Nearly 10,000 New Yorkers walked through 3,437 volumes of the Epstein files during the exhibit’s two-week run. The installation has been seen by over 85 million people online. The momentum ahead of the D.C. launch also follows a historic, uninterrupted 24-hour filibuster where advocates, citizens, and 11 survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes took turns reading the unsealed files aloud.

“Dear PoPville,
I have urged the regional manager of certain Walgreens’ DC stores to automatically send notifications to pharmacy customers and Rx prescribers in response to all medication orders, indicating that they may be delayed. This will help ensure that patients and prescribers have the information they need from Walgreens to make decisions in the best interest of the patient’s healthcare.
Since I first became a customer in 1999, (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
