Meet the masterminds behind a criminal conspiracy that solicited over 100,000 women.

These men built an empire on women's pain—cold-calling victims, terrifying them about their pelvic mesh, then steering them to unnecessary surgeries they couldn't afford.

WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger.

Republicans thought they had a permanent hold over young men. They didn't.

Spanberger wins men 18-29 by 14%, Sherrill by 10%, and Mamdani by a stunning 40%.

A day where law and justice feel far apart. But criminal law really struggles to function at 53 years of remove, when so many witnesses are dead. Injustice was assured when it took this long for the state to recognise its wrongdoing and start proceedings:
