If all these rich men "regret" their time with Epstein then why didn't they announce prior to the release of the files that their names would be part of the collection? Why didn't they self-report? The answer is they are not sorry and have no regret. They are sorry and regret they got caught.

"This is how men behave"

David Gelernter @yale appears almost proud of his exchanges with Epstein, detailing his relationship with a student.

So tired of “feelings” and “opinions.” How about “facts” and “analysis.”

Jeff Bezos is right. There is no need to have correspondents reporting in Europe when you can get all that information from Russia. They'll even pay YOU.

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

Most of the justice for this ugly business will take place in UK and EU. The US is only interested in spectacle and show.

No. ICE did not exist prior to 2001. Yet immigration existed.

Abolish ICE.
Abolishing ICE is unlikely—but there are ways the U.S. could transform it into an agency that respects the Constitution, Paul Rosenzweig argues:
How to Actually Reform ICE
Accountability, transparency, and trust must be centerpieces of “New ICE.”

Abolish ICE.

There’s no reforming it.

There’s no compromise.

There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

ICE commits atrocities knowing they’re being filmed. They don’t care. They act with impunity.

This is an agency that’s rotten to the core. Dismantle ICE.

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home.

But did you look at the judge's order?

It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept."
