Technically there is no difference. The age of consent is at least 16 in every single state.

Personally, I think it's repugnant regardless of the child's age. I suppose Megyn Kelly and I disagree on that one.
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

Calling @nytimes.com.

Do you get this?
Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

So much work remains to be done.

When's the vote @shaheen.senate.gov?

Can't wait to see you vote to ensure Americans can afford their health care.
fresh off caving, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen is going on Fox & Friends

@baldwin.senate.gov has been posting ACA marketplace increases for days.

Hopefully, she doesn’t vote for whatever crap deal they've got going in the Senate.

Wisconsinites deserve better. The Republican deal is not better.
This is the price that a family in Eau Claire will have to pay for their health care plan next year, thanks to Republicans. Does that look affordable to you?

This is the last thing families need on top of their already skyrocketing costs.

For the love of all things good and holy, tax the rich.
Elon Musk’s new pay package would feed all forty million Americans on SNAP for the next ten years. He wouldn’t notice the difference but the country would.

Where are the op-eds at @nytimes.com that talk about the unending toxic masculinity that ruins the workplace and leads to this?
CC: @nytimes.com and Ross D-bag.

How about a whole podcast about this ruining the workplace? or community space? You owe us years of articles about this crap. Cuomo. Trump. Pastors. Coaches. ALL OF IT.

For real. Can we, just for once, stop centering the experience of white men in our interrogation of absolutely everything. FFS.
No. Rape culture ruins the workplace. The wage gap ruins the workplace. A lack of female leadership ruins the workplace.

This question only stands if you think the workplace is just for white men.

Being privately horrified will not stop the MAGA Nazis from kidnapping people and disappearing them into concentration camps.

You heard me.
“This is how you’re allowing them to treat the people taking care of our babies”

We have heard privately from Republicans who are horrified by this one.

She has papers. They went room to room in a daycare. This is both racial profiling, and terrorism.

With historic healthcare cuts and cost increases approaching, Republicans chose to force a Trump Shutdown rather than address the healthcare crisis or put checks on Trump’s lawless power-grabs.

Call Sen. Baldwin and tell her to HOLD THE LINE.

Most of us work hard for our families, but the system has been rigged to redirect resources to the rich.

​Together, we can demand our lawmakers rewrite the rules so nothing stands in the way of us providing a great life for our families. Call your reps today.

If we were really a Christian nation, feeding kids and making sure everyone had health care would be our top priority.

Here’s the thing about figuring out whether those videos about mothers needing SNAP to feed their kids are real or AI — if this country really cared about all its people, we would never even consider discontinuing a program that feeds children

Republicans are weaponizing hunger and health care in order to preserve tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans.

It's obscene.

As federal leaders give $ and favors to the rich, state leaders can ensure that families and communities have the resources they need to thrive.

How? Tax the rich with a state wealth proceeds tax.

This tax would apply to the richest 4% in the US.

They never will. So what's the solution? Tax the rich.

California voters are working to put an initiative on the ballot that would create a one-time, five-year 5% tax on billionaires in the state. A fraction of their wealth that would reap lasting gains for decades.

Let's do it.

Donate the remaining goods to your local food pantry. Just search for "food pantry near me."
