Considering that most women don’t report, especially college age women, it’s terrifying to think how many actually happened

Jim Jordan 'will fail miserably': Legal expert wrecks GOP’s Jack Smith ploy
One federal prosecutor thinks that Rep. Jim Jordan's (R-Ohio) efforts to bring down former special counsel Jack Smith won't make it, regardless of how determined Jordan is during the Tuesday hearing.

To the people complaining these sex abuse cases have created a world where men now have to think 10 times before they touch a woman. Yes, that's the point. It's called consent. Welcome to human decency.

Here's one overarching fact that bothers me in this and every other case. Consent is temporary. A woman has the right to consent AND to revoke consent. The prosecutor wasn't there and has no way of knowing the facts of consent. That alone should be cause for removal.

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?

I was totally baffled by this—I thought maybe I missed something. Because why would she go to police if she said it was all consensual? It turns out the DA was playing language games: Doe described what happened to her, and *prosecutors* made a legal determination that what happened wasn’t a crime.

Please don't give the DA reopening the Cornell case any cookies. District Attorney Matthew Van Houten all but called Jane Doe a liar today. He said that in Doe's initial statement, she described "her participation in drug use and sexual conduct as voluntary, conscious, and consensual.” CONSENSUAL

The Supreme Court recently — and ridiculously — ruled that youth conversion therapy can qualify as “free speech,” and SB 934 increases our odds of defending California’s ban in court. We must stick up for kids and ensure they aren’t subjected to this abusive therapy.

House Democrats are asking Trump officials to explain how providers’ social-security numbers got exposed. “This is the exact type of data that bad actors have used to defraud the Medicare program,” @neal.house.gov and colleagues write.
In a letter written to Health and Human Services
(HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz, Ways and Means Committee Ranking Member Richard E. Neal (D-MA),
Health Subcommittee Ranking Member Lloyd Doggett (D-TX), Social Security Subcommittee Ranking Member John B. Larson (D-CT), and Oversight Subcommittee Ranking Member Terri A.
Sewell (D-AL), demanded the Administration answer for yet another exposure of the people's data.
"The mere fact that this sensitive information was sitting on a public website for an unknown period of time raises significant concerns about identity theft for the providers subject to the breach, as well as broader concerns about this Administration's handling of sensitive information, the Ways and Means Democrats wrote. "This is the exact type of data that bad actors have used to defraud the Medicare program, and while the agency is working to remedy the problem, the harm has already been done."

You’re watching the administration lose control of the narrative in real time. The more they show their supporters that they don’t give a shit about their gun rights, the worse it gets. I’ve seen over a dozen right-wing commentators call out the propaganda. That’s progress.
