The Washington Post is at it again... "Democrats fail"... No, let me fix that headline to make it more accurate. Republicans back Trump as he moves to illegally cancel $810M in congressionally approved funds. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Democrats fail to stop Trump from canceling $810M in funds approved by Congress
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisconsin) blocked the effort, meaning the Trump administration will succeed in eliminating the funding it deemed “wasteful.”

The “states’ rights” people in the past knew it was bullshit back then too, because slaver states wouldn’t let free states pass laws protecting self-emancipated people within their borders.

Meanwhile, Polymarket wants people betting on dengue causing a pandemic, because that's not at all dystopian
polymarket Three Florida counties have declared local states of emergency over dengue fever. Pasco declared Sept. 23, with Hillsborough and Pinellas following the next day freeing up emergency resources and expanded mosquito control, though each declaration has to be renewed weekly to stay in effect.
Florida has logged 190 locally acquired cases this year across six counties, 170 of them in Hillsborough alone. Spread by Aedes mosquitoes, dengue brings aches, nausea and rash in most cases; in severe ones, internal bleeding, shock or death. Traders predict a 5% chance there will be a new pandemic this year.

My hypothesis is that jurisdictions that let police screen rape cases arrest, prosecute, and convict at a lower rate than those that have prosecutors involved from day 1. We have never had data to test it, but we might now. This is one of my current projects.

This is why more women don't come forward, and why more rapists aren't jailed. Because mostly-male cops and prosecutors find it more believable that a 20-yr-old would want to have sex with a room full of fraternity brothers than accept she was raped. What ever happened to common fucking sense?
