The US has much to gain from paying attention to how the Epstein files are being handled in Europe, especially the UK. Unlike in the US, other countries are investigating and taking people down. Please keep writing about this!!

Please talk about the protests in Italy regarding the ICE involvement in the US Olympics team. We are too insular in the US, we don’t pay attention to what happens outside the US. With the frustration of inaction on Epstein we can take comfort in how the rest of the world is reacting

Our military service members don’t deserve to be told by a washed-up Fox TV commentator, who drank too much before being appointed Secretary of Defense, that they can’t serve their country simply because they are Black, gay, or a woman.
