So, if I understand the theory here, not only did the United States Department of Justice plan Epstein’s murder in advance, but the paralegal who drafts and formats press releases was in on it, to make sure they were ready in advance to make a prompt press release.
Well, this is interesting!
The U.S. Attorney’s Office had a draft statement announcing Jeffrey Epstein’s “suicide” dated August 9, 2019.
He didn’t die until August 10.
Totally normal. Nothing to see here.

Epstein Files Reveal Prosecutors’ Announcement Dated Before His Death
The file dump includes multiple draft statements from federal prosecutors about the sex trafficker’s death, one of them dated the day before Epstein died.

The point of the AI project is to provoke despair in creative people. They haven’t produced profits or anything anyone wants, just a steady stream of articles about how us artistic types can’t do the thing we’re already doing, making art. Jokes on them, we’re even better at despair than they are.

Fun fact: Al Capone funded milk pasteurization plants from his criminal revenue because his beloved niece died from drinking raw milk.
So if a notorious criminal is opposed to raw milk, maybe you shouldn't drink it.

An infant in New Mexico has just died from listeria.
Public health officials think it is because the mother drank raw milk during pregnancy.
I can imagine this family’s pain.
Please, please don’t drink raw milk. It is of no benefit whatsoever.

While the New Mexico Department of Health said it can't pinpoint the baby's exact cause of death, officials believe it could have been linked to the mother's drinking raw milk during pregnancy.

just building this awful camp system is a crime against humanity imo
The proposed centers are so large that some could house as many as 8,000 detainees at once, according to a DHS spreadsheet of more than 20 potential locations that was verified by NBC News. The largest federal prison in the U.S., for example, has roughly 4,000 inmates.
ICE plans to build mega warehouses for immigration detention spark growing concern
Sources at two government contractors told NBC News they were worried that new warehouses — and the large numbers of immigrants who would be housed in them — would present safety problems.
