Someone please ask Trump what he did, for hours, alone in a room with one of Epstein’s victims. Is this not the crux of the matter?

'A tipping point'?: Why this 1768 painting could be the real birth of modern art
While many argue that "modern art" began in the 1800s, could it actually have started with Joseph Wright of Derby's An Experiment on a Bird in the Air Pump, nearly a century before?

Here’s an idea I’ve seen gaining traction on social media: Trump should cancel all private jet flights. This would clear the skies of many aircraft that are carrying perhaps one to five passengers. Same effect with far fewer people inconvenienced.
