Some years, Person of the Year is a human being. In 2025, it is an object. It is a matte black rectangle that shows up everywhere the public was told to look.
On December 19, the U.S. Department of Justice began releasing Epstein-related material through an official "Epstein Library," a disclosure effort tied to the Epstein Files Transparency Act. [1]DOJ: Epstein Library landing page and disclosure notes. The law itself became Public Law 119-38 on November 19, 2025, and it requires DOJ to release Epstein-related records in its possession, with defined limits and reporting requirements.

The first thing a lot of people noticed was not the names, the dates, or the receipts. It was the blatant cover-up and disregard for the law. As numerous outlets have reported, many files were heavily redacted, and several documents of 100 pages or more were entirely blacked out. [3]Reuters: Files heavily redacted; some long documents fully blacked out. Of course, this is not something that requires outside verification. You can view the files directly at the official DOJ page: justice.gov/epstein.
Congratulations to the black censor bar, Clown World 2025 Person of the Year. In an era defined by secrecy, lawlessness, and contempt for the American people, it stole the show from the documents themselves and will likely stand the test of time as a symbol of this era of American politics.
