Watching this administration’s struggle to hide, lie, cover up, and defend the contents of the Epstein files reminds me of a Horcrux fighting its own destruction.

All I want in life is to persuade everyone, when encountering politics & culture, to ask, "why are we talking about this?" I mean that very literally: anything you encounter on your screens reflects a choice. Someone covered that, talked about that, rather than the many other things out there. Why?
