Congress Is Back! And So Are The Epstein Files | Nov 12, 2025 Episode

On this episode of The Joy Reid Show, Congress returns! And some Democrats get straight to business. We highlight two members who succinctly broke down the Republican menace: congressmen Jim McGovern of Massachusetts and The Big Neguse, Joe Neguse of Colorado. We discuss the Republican Party and their president's withholding of SNAP benefits for 42 million Americans to hold hungry people hostage to make healthcare costs skyrocket. And we talk about the resistance, and how it's building. We also talk Epstein Files, which saw two big releases on Wednesday, including damning emails that show that Trump knew exactly what the notorious pedophile was up to. Our guests: Latosha Brown of Black Voters Matter Fund, Lev Parnas, who brought the real tea on Trump's fear of Epstein and the gangster oligarchy he's building, and Ezra Levin of Indivisible.
