      Right now if I open google news and click “U.S.”, here’s what are the top stories:

      1. Shooting at Spirit Halloween store - if it bleeds, it leads
      2. Something about Abdul El-Sayed and Haley Stevens - a favorite for the Murc’s Law Media - Democrats In Disarray!
      3. DC and Virginia sue to block donnie’s arch
      4. Analysis about alleged noncitizens on CA’s voter rolls
      5. Daylight savings ends this weekend
      6. Justice Department trying to do shit in Alaska race.

      I searched the page and the only hit on Epstein was some author with that last name.

        Me neither. Let me check.

        WaPo:

        “Judge orders inquiry into whether DOJ lawyers misled court on Trump’s golf plan”

        “Is Cheesecake Factory decor really so bad? We discuss over giant margaritas. Former President Obama […]”

        NYT:

        “Trump Has Cast Doubt on Elections on 460 Days in His Second Term”

        Reuters:

        “Judge orders Trump administration to cease threats to prosecute election officials”

        No nothing about the pedophilia rape stuff. Just the usual Bolsonaro stuff.
