In 2016, allegations of abusing minors was enough to derail a GOP politician's career. It was called "disgraceful" and a "scandal" back then. How quaint. I suppose the fact that he was molesting boys instead of girls may have had something to do with it too. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/05/o...

Progressives need to stop using "Do You Hear the People Sing?" as a rallying cry. Yes, it's a song about individuals protesting and revolting against a government that doesn't represent them. Yeah, "The People" in that song are exterminated by the government by the end of the play.

I assume this will require extraditions of those who have moved out of NYS (i.e., graduated). Yet another result of the drastic clusterf*** resulting from not taking meaningful action TWO YEARS AGO

Apparently for the MAGA true believers, there is no discernible difference between Trump and Jesus, and the animating force that unites them is hatred for and a desire to exterminate Muslims (or you can substitute trans people, Blacks, Hispanics, gays, Indian-Americans... as necessary).

Gov't: We dismissed the prosecution, but want to reserve the right to re-charge at a later date. Court: No. Your own request squarely blames someone else, yet Tr*mp has publicly stated he still wants to get this guy. Hearn should not endure the risk that some other USA will cave to Tr*mp.

I keep seeing news about Tr*mp's lawyers acting wildly inappropriately, with calls for their disbarment. I really don't think the American public understands what ridiculously weak sauce that "punishment" is.

Drinking commercial flavored seltzers (La Croix, Waterloo, etc.) is all about chasing the dragon. First sip is like "oooh what a nice light hint of flavor" but you never taste it again and you drink the entire can trying to get that taste again then you down another can to see if that can has it

The underlying theory Senate Republicans are going with is that Joe Biden secretly ordered DOJ to investigate Trump, something they have produced no evidence to support and also they're all fine with Trump publicly ordering DOJ to investigate his enemies.

Trump's approval rating just hit an all-time low. Polling for Republicans ahead of the midterms is tanking too. Good news. But do not let the unpopularity of Trump and the GOP result in you becoming complacent. We need to show up this November in numbers so huge that victory cannot be denied.
