This sounds like a homeless child “was left vulnerable to exploitation” and therefore Matt Gaetz had no choice but to rape her.
A teenager in Florida with a homeless parent wanted money for braces and ended up having sex for money with powerful men, setting off a chain of events that would have a dramatic impact on her life and help upend the political career of Representative Matt Gaetz. nyti.ms/49PSkL9

His mind is sufficiently gone that a well-phrased question from the press would get a response of “It was Florida in the 90’s, things were different back then” and then say something about the ballroom.

What we need is a *perpetual* mortgage. You pay the costs of to service a loan and maintain the property. The genius of my plan is that you don’t need capital. Specialists can do it for you and pass on the costs to you. You can even leave the property and easily pass the payments to another.
White House officials are furious with Bill Pulte, the Federal Housing Finance Agency director, who talked the president into suggesting a 50-year mortgage plan, per POLITICO

Sandwich verdict wasn’t jury nullification. It was failure to prove the required “reasonable fear of physical injury” in a case where the agent was wearing A BULLETPROOF VEST. The only crime was the waste of resources on this case. My thoughts in @MSNBCDaily.

Opinion | The sandwich thrower was wrong. But Jeanine Pirro was, too.
To establish a forcible assault, jurors were required to find that Dunn caused “reasonable apprehension of immediate bodily harm.” That allegation was laughable.

The solicitor general is now arguing that Trump’s tariffs aren’t taxes because they’re being used as threats to achieve Trump’s policy goals and won’t necessarily even be enforced.

Trump’s entire theory of a tariff power under IEEPA seems to be that a tariff is not a tax. It’s a regulatory action that only coincidentally happens to have incidental revenue-raising result.

Also, he’s Muslim, an immigrant, and a Democratic Socialist. That’s a lot of odds stacked against him. In a three-way race. Where one of the other candidates is a Democrat (sort of). I can’t think of any rational reason to call this underperforming.
Btw, the press obsessing about Mamdani seems weird. He seriously underperformed the Democratic vote in NYC compared to recent elections, barely scraping 50%. Moderate Democrats in VA and NJ dramatically overperformed. That seems the real story
