GOP officials are making it seem like working immigration in the US is now as dangerous as being a narcotics investigator in the heart of Mexican cartel-land.

Best bet is to presume anyone calling for us to just move on from the Epstein files absolutely knows why they are important and they want that truth suppressed.
Last week the far right started peddling a narrative that the outrage over Epstein is a moral panic. Today, like clockwork, a more polite version of that narrative appears in the Atlantic.
