How many days has it been since a Republican was inappropriate toward children?

This is a PA State Senator for the 29th district.

The student had wrote an essay against book bans. Of course he just couldn't keep his creepy mouth shut.
I’m appalled, but not surprised, by the behavior of our Senator David G. Argall. At the local round of the National Civics Bee, my daughter made it through 2 difficult rounds to be able to defend her essay about book banning. We were so proud of her hard work and determination. As she began to defend her position that books shouldn’t be banned from schools, Senator Argall had the chance to ask his question from the panel of (otherwise wonderful) judges. He asked my 6th grade child if it was “appropriate to give pornographic magazines to kindergarteners.” This question was both wildly inappropriate and ridiculous. Her paper had nothing to do with pornography and she had to (very calmly might I add) ask him what that even meant. To my shock, he replied “naked pictures of people.” She certainly maintained composure and redirected him back to the topic at hand. This discussion has no place at the Civics Bee. I am further appalled and furious that I now have to explain pornography to my 4th grader who was there to cheer on her sister. I don’t know when Mr Argall last stepped foot in a library, but they aren’t providing pornography. Discussing this with my 6th grade daughter on a public stage shows a shocking lack of decency. I can only assume he set out to make a political statement and/or embarrass my child because he favors book banning, but he succeeded only in outing himself as vile and out of touch. My daughter now moves on to the next round in Harrisburg. I sincerely hope the politicians and judges in attendance can put aside their personal biases to support these kids and their hard work.

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

Trump's CFPB just dropped its lawsuits against:

-Capital One, for cheating depositors out of $2B+ in interest
-Rocket Homes, for providing kickbacks to agents and brokers
-Vanderbilt Mortgage, for trapping customers in risky loans 

It's open season for corporate crooks.

They’re trying to make trans people be the first domino piece and once we fall, all rights will be at risk. We need our allies’ support now more than ever.

Trans people deserve safety.
Trans people deserve dignity.
Trans people deserve respect.
Trans people deserve love.
Trans people deserve joy.
