I try looking things up, but it’s apparently common news-site practice these days to try to tie things to other news (Gaza, civil liberties, etc), which I don’t want to know about as I’m on a news diet. (If you know of a site that does maybe a weekly newsletter of only the top two things to know about the week that’s passed, please let me know.)
So re the Epstein files: Are they released? Are they going to be released? What’s in them? Is this thing about Putin having compromising photos of Trump true?
