Vivek Ramaswamy’s new Ohio governor ad about property taxes “accidentally” featured a registered sex offender in the background. Vernon Edwards, the husband of the woman featured in the ad, pleaded guilty to gross sexual imposition involving a child under 13 and served eight years in prison.

Thirty years ago, Susan Collins promised Maine voters she’d serve only two terms. Now she’s a multimillionaire asking them for a sixth. Her current net worth is estimated to be roughly $6.8 million. Not bad for a Senate salary of $174,000 per year.

Trump just threw a massive lifeline to Vladimir Putin. And to do it, he’s breaking the law. Back in 2022, Congress banned Russian energy imports. I voted for it. The law says the president has to consult Congress before he changes anything. He didn’t. Illegal. Deadly. Disgraceful. Link below!

Walmart is the largest private employer in America, yet 16,055 of its employees were on Medicaid in just 6 states, and 15,515 were receiving food stamps in 9 states. Mostly red states. And those aren’t even national totals. #RepublicanAffordabilityCrisis

He Waited Nine Years in Prison for His Lawyer to File a Single Brief. In This State, There’s No Rule Against It.
Pennsylvania promises legal help to those who say they were unfairly convicted of crimes. Failed by a troubled system, some incarcerated people are left waiting years for their lawyers to act.

I came to the USA through adoption in 1965, and I was the only non-white person in my town. I was called 'chink,' 'gook,' 'slant eyes,' etc. Racism is nothing new to me, and those names no longer have the power they used to; however, I will never tolerate it towards other people.

🚨Holy crap! Ken Paxton partied on New Year’s Eve 2024 in Dubai with his girlfriend and two U.S. fugitives (Anosh Ahmed and Sameer Suhail) charged in healthcare fraud/embezzlement schemes. Ahmed, a major donor, gave about $190,000 to Paxton’s campaign — including after his indictment.

Alleged abuse victims at British military school in Germany tell of agonising fight for justice
Two women, now in their 50s, say MoD refuses to take responsibility for abuse they suffered as children Anne and Jane* were 10 years old when a member of staff connected with their British military school in Bünde, Germany is alleged to have singled them out and sexually abused them. Now in their 50s, the women say he coerced them into keeping silent, and for decades they had only discussed their experiences with one another. “He said if we ever told anybody, then our fathers would lose their jobs and they would be kicked out of the army,” Jane said. “Being two young 10-year-old girls who basically followed their fathers around the world, their jobs were our lives.” Continue reading...
