One month ago today: Newly released Epstein documents contained references to Trump, and two subpoenas were sent to Mar-a-Lago. In one email from 2020, a federal prosecutor wrote that Trump had flown on Epstein’s private jet “many more times than previously had been reported.”

Good was sadly not the first person shot at or killed by ICE this year. Posting a few that @cliffmay.bsky.social and I reported for @mcsweeneys.net earlier this year that did not receive the same level of attention.
