Pete Buttigieg: "My second greatest fear for my party is if we win in November that we forget that a return to the prior status quo is not the right answer either. What we need is a series of clean bills, legislative projects that will deliver higher wages, that will deliver universal health insurance coverage, that will deliver things like paid family leave."

BREAKING: PEDO PARTY! Corrupt MAGA Republican changes law to protect his own 18-year-old relative accused of raping a 13-year-old!

In a stunning display of Republican hypocrisy, tolerance for sexual perversion and elite corruption, Utah Senate President J. Stuart Adams quietly helped change state law to rescue his own teenage relative from decades in prison after the 18-year-old was accused of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old junior high student.

The teen, who is related to the powerful Republican leader, originally faced multiple first-degree felony charges of child rape and child sodomy, which could have meant 25 years to life and lifetime sex offender registration.

But after Adams got involved, the Utah Legislature passed a convenient tweak that created a new lower charge specifically for 18-year-old high school students having sex with 13-year-olds.

Two months later, prosecutors offered the connected teenager a sweetheart plea deal: guilty to reduced charges, just one week in jail (already served), no sex offender registration, and basically a slap on the wrist.

The victim’s mother was blindsided.

“I felt like I was punched in the gut,” she told the Salt Lake Tribune, adding that she believes her child was merely “an afterthought” while powerful people protected their own. She believes the system gave special treatment to the perpetrator because of who he’s related to.

Republicans love to scream about “protecting children,” “law and order,” and pledge to be “tough on crime.” Yet when it’s one of their own powerful insiders facing consequences for the sexual abuse of a child, they rewrite the rules to make it go away.

The party of Epstein.

Adams claims he didn’t directly request the change, but everyone involved in the courtroom openly admitted the legislative tweak was the key to resolving the charges with a lenient deal. Wink, wink.
The young man’s defense attorney Cara Tangaro even drafted the language of the amendment, and even told the judge the new law “changed everything.”

Now, the 13-year-old victim and her family are left devastated, watching justice for the girl be denied so an connected 18-year-old could avoid real consequences.

Republicans can blather all day about family values, but this story reveals the truth that for them, justice is only for the little people, and that sexual misconduct can be swept under the rug.

No one should be above the law, especially not MAGA politicians and their families.

Once Democrats do win back power in Washington, we must not think our job is to restore a broken prior status quo.

Here's what should come next:

94% of teachers have had to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies. An estimated 1 in 6 have second jobs during the school year to make ends meet.

The average Wall Street employee got a record $244,700 bonus last year.

Something has gone terribly wrong.

If you're a United States Senator, no matter your party today is a special opportunity to service America.

All you have to do is #VoteNo.

[Grant Stern  @grantstern]

Just #VoteNO!

Q: Is it fun? Are you having a great time, Senator?

Sen. Murphy: No, this sucks. We're debating a bill that's going to cut healthcare for 16 million people. It's going to give a tax break to massively wealthy people who don't need any more money. There are going to be kids who go hungry because of this bill. This is the most deeply immoral piece of legislation that I have ever voted on in my entire time in Congress

Members of Congress have legal authority to enter ICE and CBP facilities. Agencies are legally required to allow them entry.

The people who should be facing consequences are those who laid hands on them to disrupt Oversight.

Perhaps that’s why ICE agents are hiding their faces.

We are witnessing a foreign government effectively bribe the President of the United States — right out in the open.
