About the Epstein files: what I find currently interesting is that some of the Congressional Republicans are saying they want to see files released pronto.

The two biggest names in that camp are Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene, both of whom come from the same isolationist, somewhat conspiracy-minded wing of the GOP. A lot of their followers, if not they themselves, are tying Epstein into alleged Mossad plots and pizzagate-style sex cults.
I will say that, in the case of Greene, AFAICT, she did, in her pre-political life, seem to have had sincere objections to the RCC's cover-up of child sexual-abuse, and in fact, changed religions because of it. I'm guessing she might be transfering her analysis of that issue over to Epstein, albeit with an added overlay of crank conspiracy stuff.
Just found an interesting New Yorker column from last month, called The Persistent Pull Of Planet Epstein.
Focuses a lot on Candace Owens, though as a close follower of Owens, I'll say she's at least as preoccupied with Israel and the supposed Israeli takeover of TPUSA, as she is on Epstein(though of course, her conspiratorial worldview does see all these issues as linked). I liked that the writer compares Owens to Father Coughlin, a parallel I had been thinking of myself.
