A man masturbated during a flight while staring at the 25 year old sitting next to him. He should have been removed from the seat and arrested at the gate. This was sexual assault. Shame on the airline for putting the responsibility to report it on a traumatized young woman.

Passenger says United ‘trapped’ her next to a man who masturbated on flight. Then the airline let him leave.
The woman said she was told she had to return to her seat during landing in spite of the sexual harassment she reported because there were no other available seats.

🚨Caught on camera: Ken Paxton PANICS when asked about owning 15 homes worth $9 million on a $153,000 government salary. Paxton dodges, stammers, then says “I’d like to keep today to law enforcement!” Classic Paxton—refuses to answer, cuts the presser short. Texans deserve better.

Section 4 of the 25th Amendment allows for the determination of disability to be made by the VP + "such other body as the Congress may provide" (in lieu of maj of the cabinet)...that has obviously not been created but maybe it should? Along with some disqualification process under the Sec. 3 of 14A?

Jeff Bezos has $222 billion. If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over. And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

Good afternoon. Speaker Johnson was sent a bill to fund TSA, the Coast Guard and FEMA that passed the Senate 100-0. If he had simply called it for a vote it would passed easily. But he chose chaos. Because that’s what Trump wants. Only Johnson can clean up this mess.
