Desantis' Chief of Staff was also involved. After this happened, DeSantis filled Sen Rubio's vacancy with AG Moody, and then made his COS, James Uthmeier, Attorney General. They should all be in jail.

No criminal charges. Florida fucking suuuuuuuuuucks.
According to reporting by CBS News Miami and ABC News, the grand jury outlined the following details regarding the transaction:
• The Settlement: The $10 million originated from a healthcare and Medicaid overbilling settlement with the Centene Corporation.
• The Routing: Funds were diverted through the Hope Florida Foundation—a charity initiative associated with Florida First Lady Casey DeSantis—before reaching intermediary non-profits and political entities.
• Ashley Moody's Role: According to the grand jury report, then-Attorney General Ashley Moody authorized her chief deputy to sign the final settlement agreement after discussions regarding political and legislative oversight concerns.
• Criminal Charges: The grand jury did not find sufficient probable cause to file criminal charges against the officials involved.

shutting down frat houses won't end rape culture, but it will disorganize a lot of rapists, and i think that's probably worth doing if only to destabilize what is apparently an ecology of organizations that functionally exist to rape women per the whole "purpose of a system is what it does" insight.

But Schmitt clearly did not have *any additional evidence that Willis met with Smith* (separate issue as to why this would have been a big deal). Like this guy was Attorney General for Missouri and his whole case was Smith went to a basketball game in a city where another Trump enemy lived? WTF?

Maybe I'm missing something, but I still don't get this. Schmitt was saying Smith went to a Hawks game. His evidence was texts that mention "Jack" but not from Smith (and the Hawks does not have a 109 row). Yes, Smith went to a Hawkeyes game, but Schmitt did not present any evidence of that.

This is also why I hate Jon Hamm. He beat and tortured a freshman in the process of hazing that included dragging him around by his genitals that were looped around the claw of a hammer. The pledge suffered severe injuries and dropped out of school. I can’t get over that

I believe fraternity hazing and military hazing and sports team hazing where men abuse each other is acclimating them into a broader culture of abuse where they will then believe it is their right to abuse other more vulnerable people. It’s so insidious. And that’s also why I think men defend it

Another thing about fraternities is that the hazing rituals where slightly older young men would physically, mentally emotionally and sometimes even sexually abuse slightly younger young men have always disturbed and upset me greatly. And it’s really telling that I’ve seen men defend those too

I was a bit puzzled by this as well. Don's guess about the path seems nuts but is more plausible than any of the alternatives. I suppose it's possible that, if they weren't so MAGA-fied to have believe this at face value immediately themselves, they hoped that Smith would be too baffled to respond.

HELL YEAH GET EM
Statement from Mayor Cantelmo on Campus Sexual Violence & Future Community Safety
Late last week, I learned of the heinous and sickening allegations made against the Cornell students who, according to a former undergraduate student identified as Jane Doc, drugged and brutally raped her at the Chi Phi fraternity house. Despite the severity of these crimes, Cornell University administrators and police failed to contact or coordinate any response with the Ithaca Police Department. Furthermore, the University failed to hold the perpetrators to account. This is a miscarriage of justice and continues to pose a significant threat to students and residents who may be victimized at unsafe and under-monitored on- or off-campus student events.
Given this appalling response from university administration, I have no choice but to declare a new policy directive and corresponding Common Council resolution, implementing an immediate moratorium on all student event and special event permits, including, but not limited to Greek life and other student group gatherings, until such time that the University conducts an accounting of its protocols to prevent and prosecute crimes of sexual violence and publicly releases new standards and practices to keep our community safe.

Mayor of Ithaca, NY
