POWERFUL must read: Jane Doe is a human being. You think you’re qualified to classify what she contends was rape based on your understanding of a state’s legal statute? The public’s concerted focus on nitpicking the legality of the incident has eclipsed and deprioritized her humanity ....

For young women, the alleged “Cornell Gang Rape” is not just a nightmare — it’s a danger that is always there.

So many people seeing the midterms as the end of something. This big blue wave must be the beginning of something great! Remember that the orange tyrant will still be in office for 2 years, and we have to be able to overcome his vetoes and tantrums.

Someone needs to ask Mike Lawler and Tom Kean, who are running identical ads, what they mean by “American patients,” why they excluded the president’s family from their corruption bill, and what happens when the OBBB healthcare cuts kick in.

"Anyone with an elderly parent or grandparent has seen how it goes: With the passage of years, rest becomes a struggle, as they sleep fitfully overnight, then nod off repeatedly over the course of the day. This is President Trump’s pattern now."

What if we covered Trump's age the way we covered Biden's?
His rapid decline is obvious. Why not give it the attention it deserves?

FU @mlb.com for putting the Yankees Opening Day game on Netflix. You really do hate your fans, don’t you? I don’t want to watch games on streaming services. I don’t want to constantly have to guess where the games are. YES exists for a reason - to bring games to fans. But it’s all about the $$$$.

I’m so tired of hearing the GOP blame Biden’s “open borders” for everything. MOC and Administrations going back to Reagan have failed to address immigration policy, instead creating havoc and turmoil and a broken system. The hateful actions today are possible because of decades of neglect.

He isn’t softening his policies. He’s trying to control the press around the outcome of those policies. Do not let up the pressure on your MOC’s to demand they withhold taxpayer dollars from ICE and CBP until their unconstitutional actions are stopped.

Some thoughts on the CR/minibus. 1 The Dems negotiating with Rs were not freelancing. They coordinated with Sen Schumer. A few were ready to give in on day one, others worked to maximize appropriations wins. Those voting for the 'deal' are the ones furthest away from electoral consequences.

If I were @schumer.senate.gov, I would not agree to help Republicans fund this regime on the "promise" of an ACA vote at a later date. It didn't work the last time when they promised to fund DC. It won't work this time either. The House won't touch it.

Dear Mainstream Media, Please stop referring to his sort of hopeful conversations around trade as ‘deals’. They are frameworks that may or may not happen, and often don’t deliver what he promises they will, so just stop telling us he accomplished something when he really, really didn’t.
