  • Over half the lawmakers involved are from New York, New Mexico and Florida — states where Epstein owned sprawling properties. Notable names include House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Sen. Martin Heinrich.

    Intermediaries — such as public relations executives and major donors with ties to Epstein — issued the invitations. And it’s unclear how many events Epstein attended, if any, or whether lawmakers themselves were aware of the entreaties being made on their behalf.

    But, taken together, the documents reveal how many political insiders tied to Capitol Hill viewed Epstein in the decade before his death. They didn’t shun the convicted sex offender or purge him from their email lists. Instead, they persistently pursued him.













  • As someone else said, I’m just some dog on the internet, but the simple truth is guitars don’t usually “need” cleaning. Some players like Mike Campbell actually make a point of not cleaning the maple fretboard. New strings every so often is really all it “needs”.

    That said, a soft cloth is the best “tool”, and as for cleaner, the truth is spit is perfect for general use. If you really wanna get the grime out of corners and things (where’s the guitar been it’s got so much grime on it?) then yeah lots of specially marketed cleaners are available.

    I use these a lot: They’re fine and clean well and disposable afterwards. I have a friend who swears by lemon oil for the fretboard, but I’ve found that’s only useful on the more uncoated / porous type of boards.

    Have fun, that’s the main thing!
