The allegations in the Cornell sexual assault case are deeply disturbing and gut-wrenching. Cornell University has failed this survivor.
I fully support Governor Hochul's decision to name Attorney General James as special prosecutor in this case and look forward to the complete and extensive investigation that is to come.
Accountability and justice cannot simply be values, they must also be delivered.
From new ABC story on the Cornell case:
"The frat brother who invited Jane Doe to the house that night sent a photo to the chat that appears to show her in the bedroom.
"Another asked, 'Are you guys at least naked??'
"He replied, 'Boys come whip it out.'"
That message was sent without the consent or knowledge of the woman involved. She did not ask for a bunch of strangers to pile into the room she was in, expecting "free pussy." That's the situation she was forced into. It was indefensible, outrageous behavior. Stop defending it, or pretending she asked for it.

🚨 TPUSA alert
This is Robert Wallace - former Turning Point Action “Chase the Vote” manager for the Fountain Hills area. He was fired in May 2026 for his disastrous State Senate campaign run.
At a Maricopa County Republican meeting he tried to talk me into going to his car for oral sex.
He later sent me this photo while trying to persuade me to come to his house for sex.
He’s now running for Fountain Hills school board.
This is the level of sexual deviance some people are elevating in conservative spaces such as TPUSA.
Parents and voters deserve to know.
This is how capitalists will address climate change. Instead of placing the slightest restrictions on billionaires, the ruling class will propose murdering half the world’s population.
Yeah...this is false. No form of ID will be required to shop at City owned grocery stores. This "ID" claim is right wing disinformation. Mayor Mamdani has been clear that the city run stores will have no residency, ID, or income requirement—they are open to any shopper.
DL Hughley on Zohran Mamdani: “This Muslim is putting Christians to shame. There is more to say for a man that lifts the poor, that feeds the hungry, that walks among the people, than powerful white men who consort with a pedophile. Who’s the more Christlike?”
Reuters is doing its best to frame the Israeli bombardment of one of the few remaining Palestinian medicine warehouses as something legally ambiguous. Obviously the argument they parrot is the Israeli military’s: that in Gaza, healthcare is a human shield for military activities.
I have observed and studied legacy media reporting on Palestine for years. I have had the opportunity to analyse documented patterns of dehumanization that - nearly three years into a genocide - are beyond shocking.
A police chief in Georgia used Flock's cameras to track his ex-girlfriend and her teen daughter nearly 600 times. “Don’t worry I’m not tracking you or some weird stalker shit," he texted her. After his arrest, he committed suicide.
He's one of 50 cops we found misusing Flock: 🧵

The effective federal corporate income tax rate:
1950: 50%
1990: 25%
2020: 13%
Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate.
That is how we will pay for it.
