Write like a creep but make it classy.
When you write the whole piece around the idea of “MeToo” as an adequate description of what caused specific men to lose specific positions, and when you do this incredibly weird cutesy business to avoid *mentioning what happened*, you do a disservice to readers.

Zeteo has made a searchable database of all new 26,000 files related to Jeffrey Epstein.
Despite Trump saying this is a scam with "all arrows pointing to the Democrats," these have a whole lot of Trump in there. In fact, he's mentioned in these more than anyone else.

Most drugs trafficked into the US are smuggled over land through official border crossings, in small quantities by vehicle or on foot by US citizens or LPRs. Cartels recruit citizens because they’re less suspicious and use official crossings because so many people go through them every day.
