This may get very ugly for @nytimes
A victim of sexual misconduct (at a minimum) by Graham Platner explains in detail how she provided the Times the evidence it could have used to corroborate her story - and how the Times ignored it
This is deep journalistic malfeasance
I actually understand why Democrat leaders didn't take our stories seriously when the Times reported them in June but are taking them seriously now.
It was by design.
The line most shared from the piece was the claim that the Times “could not corroborate” my story despite talking to two of my friends.
I gave them the contact information for five friends.
They called the two who I clarified would not know about the abuse but would be able to affirm our relationship timeline, events, etc.
They simply did not call the other three.
I also gave them the names of all my former roommates who remembered him stalking our row house (which was about 5 houses down from his) and waiting for me to return. I gave them screenshots of messages between these roommates and I discussing it.
I gave them the names of other men I dated who might have remembered him following us around the hill and showing up on my stoop after we walked home from dates to confront us. I gave them emails to my landlord urgently ending my lease and moving to an apartment across town and diary entries talking about it - all time marked.
I told them that during pre-marital counseling I had spoken to my ex-fiance about the abuse because I had to explain to him why I reacted with such terror any time he lost his temper. They said oh NO we don't need to bother HIM (or my priest). Besides, I had written about it in my diary in detail, they reassured.
As the weeks dragged on I stopped trying to give them evidence because the amount I had already given them seemed to overwhelm them and I thought it meant they clearly had more than enough to verify my every claim.
My friends might not have known the details of the abuse, but they affirmed that yes, I had told them that he was abusive—long before he ran for Senate.
Besides, they assured, my part in their reporting would be small. I thought my details would only serve to affirm Jenny and the other anonymous woman.
Jenny and I - having never met or spoken - both shared with these reporters terrifyingly similar details of intimate partner violence, coercive control, and cycles of abuse/love bombing. The third unnamed woman in the story did as well.
But tell me again how they “could not corroborate.”
Opinion: My trans daughter, Becky Pepper-Jackson, wanted to play the sport she loves. That simple wish took her all the way to the Supreme Court. https://t.co/dy0L36Nbxj
In today’s world, unrestricted, automatic birthright citizenship is suicidal.
The Supreme Court could and should have read the Fourteenth Amendment as something other than a suicide pact.
Those who drafted and ratified that provision certainly didn’t regard it as such.

Official transcript from the US Senate on May 30, 1866. Senator Jacob Howard, who introduced the 14th Amendment:
"This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens...”
SCOTUS got this ruling 100% wrong. A total travesty.
Remember: the Somalian who was born to illegal immigrant parents 23 years ago has a "birthright" to be in this country. But you are an invader who has no right to be here, even though your family has been in this country for 200 years. This is what the Left actually believes.
@jmks86@Suzierizzo1 Hard to argue when “Jeri” is too misinformed. T stands for temporary and those Haitians have zero constitutional standing to be here. No equal protection for illegal aliens 🤷
First of all, nice grammar. Second, they are just doing their consitutional duty - interpreting the Constitution. You think there is actually a constitutional right to abortion or gay marriage? No matter what you think, those decisions should be made through the legislative process, not through the courts.
@graciefinn19@BettyR98155@SpencerHakimian If Trump was actually guilty of literally anything, the Obama or Biden administration’s would have put it out immediately to stop his rise. While the left has tried smears, lawfare, and actual assassination events, you think they wouldn’t put out concrete evidence against Trump?
Something needs to be done. President Trump gave the GOP Senate a mandate after the 2024 election and we have nothing to show for it. It’s maddening from the outside looking in. They are all the same, do-nothing people.
@SenMarkKelly Voter ID is another bipartisan issue among constituents that is supported by 80% of the public. If you really answer to your voters, you would support the SAVE America Act and get both of these done. The President is using something called political leverage, ever heard of it?
@Variety Wow Larry, what an interesting and well-thought out answer. Can’t even give one reason why it’s embarrassing. It’s a “travesty” to celebrate America through sports instead of rainbow flags, nudity, and indoctrination? What a POS. Larry David is such a loser.
Tucker was a registered Democrat because he lived in Washington DC - with a closed primary and consistent one party rule. If you live in Washington DC, the only way to influence your local representation is by being a registered Democrat. Do more research before you post idiotic bs like this
Such a great thread for those RINOs in the Senate who are hesitant that this will be a waste of time. Without the SAVE America Act passed, Democrats will most likely take back power, nuke the filibuster, add states, and pack the Supreme Court. Our republic is on the line as we know it!
