This thread is HORIFYING.
- An 18-year-old former Turning Point chapter VP says she was held down and assaulted at a TPUSA event. It was filmed without her consent, and a man can be heard saying "she is for the whole team" while she resists, and there is clearly blood visible on pants.
- The video was taken without her permission and the men jump onto her. She filed a police report with Rutgers PD. Instead of accountability, she says she got a threatened lawsuit, and that a Turning Point staffer deleted their messages.
- The man she accuses, Vincent Tabone (who goes by "Jim Callahan"), sent her an AI-written cease-and-desist and threatened a defamation suit.
- The man who allegedly filmed her, Daniel Baez of William Paterson University, kept contacting her after she told him to stop.
- Her Turning Point field rep, Anthony Romano, allegedly first told her to block Baez, later changed his position, and deleted their chat messages.
Then there's video of Turning Point's own general counsel walking into a room of underage drinkers, high schoolers included, and saying "I know you are all 21!"
Where is the outrage from the "protect the kids" crowd? Every reporter should be on this.

Jane Fonda on the midterm victory: “We have to be very smart. We can’t return to the old neoliberalism. We have to take off our corporate hat, take off our donor hat, and start doing things that are going to help working people in this country”
Let me try and explain: a Krispy Kreme uses water to make doughnuts which can be eaten and coffee which can be drunken. The workers wash their hands so the food is sanitary and the customers use the bathroom. In a data center, all that water is wasted with no treats.
Talarico: Ken Paxton is not one of us. He's not even from here. He moved here from California. Why is it always the Californians who are saying don't California my Texas?
I will never care that Lindsey Graham was gay. I care that he spent his life voting against the rights of other gay people and betrayed his country to kiss Donald trump's ass.

No. I’m not “scapegoating” AIPAC.
You support Trump's illegal war in Iran. Americans don’t.
You want taxpayers to spend billions funding the Israeli government. Americans don’t.
Your super PAC is spending $9 million to defeat Abdul because he opposes your agenda. Unacceptable.
AIPAC is now spending as much as $9 million against Abdul El-Sayed.
AIPAC is why we’re at war in Iran.
AIPAC is why the U.S. has supported genocide in Gaza.
We must say NO to AIPAC.
YES to electing Abdul as Michigan’s next U.S. Senator.
One aspect of this that Ashley doesn’t get enough credit for is that her driving the wedge between Morgan and Vince during the last week made it so Morgan didn’t study for this comp and was staying up late arguing with Vince, which I’m sure is why she flopped so hard here #BB28
I’m Francesca Hong, and I’m running for Governor of Wisconsin.
I’m a single mom juggling two jobs—and I bring my lived experience into every room I walk into. From the State Capitol to night shifts behind the bar, I know what working people are up against.
Admittedly refreshing to hear someone respond to tired anti-immigrant talking points by saying “Isn’t your president a pedophile” you can genuinely see the Fox host realize he’s made a terrible mistake in real time
“Drag is a mockery of women” coming from the same person who was an anti-vaxer, and anti-science. Along with spending the past 2 years begging on podcasts that she wants Drag Race to invite her again to compete, so now she’s just eternally bitter, and basically a Republican
