Rep. Maria Salazar claims "more than 50,000" people were at Trump's Madison Square Garden rally. MSG's capacity is under 20,000, so no.

(Why are these people so addicted to lying about crowd sizes?)

There isn't even an allegation that she's done anything wrong, let alone criminal. They just want to imprison their political opponents.

"The problem with the immediate assumption that something won’t matter is it can easily become a self-fulfilling prophecy. It gives the media an excuse to dismiss and ignore Trump’s vileness. And in this case it’s also insulting to survivors."
Trump has been accused of sexual assault again. It matters.
The media and the public should treat the issue seriously.

"Given Trump’s victory in 2016 and the media’s general indifference to his history of sexual misconduct since then, it’s easy to just assume that Williams’s allegations will have little impact and aren’t important. Cynicism seems justified.

But it isn’t."

I know this is on the lower-end of importance, but we had a months-long discussion about Biden's physical/mental fitness and Donald Trump can barely hold up his own head.
Trump on Fox & Friends in response to a question about how he'll fix schools in the Bronx: "No transgender, no operations. You know, they take your kid. There are some places, your boy leaves the school, comes back a girl. Without parental consent. What is that all about?"

New in PN: "Republican lawsuits send a message that anything except in-person voting on Nov. 5 is suspect. So if PA sees a repeat of 2020, where Trump leads on election day but loses when all ballots are counted, people are primed to see it as suspicious."
