“A Congressman raped a destitute 17 year old who had turned to sex work to pay for healthcare necessities”
Weird how so many writers at the New York Times, of all places, seemingly never took one single English class.

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

My most conservative viewpoint is that people always bear primary responsibility for their actions, which is ironically not a Conservative view in our country anymore, or ever. Gaetz ruined his own career and the life of a HS girl because he was powerful, depraved, and selfish. He deserves worse.
Why the fuck is this framed as “teenager chose to prostitute herself and ruined the career of innocent congressman”

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

Abolish the Senate. I am absolutely dead serious.
Shaheen: "We've heard from a number of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle that they're willing to come to the table, they're willing to work with us once the govt is open to get this done. We've heard the same thing from the White House. So now we'll see if they're really gonna work w/us"

The filibuster is so fundamentally anti-democratic that forcing the authoritarian party to kill it so that they could keep taking health care and food away from Americans was probably the cleanest out from the damn thing, yet this Cones of Duneshire-ass opposition party loves rules more than wins.

In a time of great national crisis it's good to know that our senators can reach across the partisan divide and protect what they care about most--the filibuster.

The federal government is putting its full weight behind purging Black people from public life and the press and opposition party is silent as it does so.
“The Committee’s unfounded accusations, dependence on clearly compromised sources, and selective presentation of ‘evidence’ represent an unprecedented abuse of congressional power—designed not to find the truth, but to silence leadership that refuses to yield to political pressure.”

and you know what? even many 10th graders should be able to understand writing that’s “complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references”
sometimes “meeting students where they are” means assigning something written by an adult for other adults

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

This is truly the absolute nicest thing that should ever happen to ICE agents. Their ceiling for social acceptance should be crowds chanting "SHAME" at them until they slink away. They should be grateful for the moral lesson the public is offering.

Diversity doesn’t weaken unions. Racist bosses like Vance using racism to divide workers by race so they can exploit them weakens unions. All this stuff is arsonists complaining about the temperature in the building they set on fire. bsky.app/profile/diew...
JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.
Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵
