JD Vance: "We leave here with a very simple proposal. A method of understanding that is our final and best offer. We'll see if the Iranians accept it."

This is former Utah judge Kevin Christensen, charged with 8 counts of child sexual abuse. He's pled to 3 counts, and faces up to 15 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Not an immigrant. Not a drag queen. Not undocumented.

He is, however, an elected Republican official.

NEW: Dems set to force a vote to expel Tony Gonzales next week in response to Luna's vote to expel Eric Swalwell, leadership aides tell @axios.com

If these pass it could trigger a chain reaction, per sources, with votes targeting Cherfilus-McCormick + Mills. www.axios.com/2026/04/11/eric-swalwell-expel-tony-gonzales-sexual-misconduct

I'm seeing several variations of "If the GOP doesn't punish their sexual abusers, why should the Dems?"
Seriously? Are you arguing that we should have the right to be just as horrible as they are?
Well, congrats. Now we know that YOU are just as horrible as they are.
Fuck all the way off.

To all those men asking why these women didn’t file police reports, I direct you to the Epstein files as an example. Despite police reports, in some cases depositions under oath and NO justice has been dispensed from a court of law. The women are re-traumatized and the men are free.

This was always the outcome - rightly or wrongly, they feel like they “won”

They now know they can hijack the global economy via the Strait of Hormuz.

They assess a mine clearing operation would be costly for the US. We’ll have to prove them wrong or deal with emboldened Iran.

I believe in treating your staff with respect. I also will not sit here and hear people saying that Katie Porter is just as bad or worse than Eric Swalwell because she is sometimes mean to people. Being a difficult person is not equivalent to sexually assaulting women. Coalesce around Porter now.

Concerning the longtime rumors around Swalwell, I am reposting here with permission a FB post last time from longtime organizer Michael Trujillo.

This history goes way beyond what is reported publicly.

Trump on ​Saturday posted on social media that US ‌military has started to clear the Strait of Hormuz, and that all of Iran's minelaying ships have been sunk.

Minutes before Trump's post, reports ​started to emerge about the presence of U.S. naval ships in the strait.

The amazing, letter-perfect performance of NASA this week is a ferocious rebuke to the right-wing fools who constantly tell us that for-profit businesses always do a job better than the government.

#BREAKING | Israeli settlers attempted to burn a Palestinian family alive in the village of Duma in the West Bank.

They threw Molotov cocktails at their children's room. Thankfully, the family noticed the fire at the last minute and extinguished it before it was too late.

Congressman Eric Swalwell has released a new video saying that allegations of sexual violence against him are false.

He also says that he has made mistakes in recent years, but that those mistakes are between him and his wife.

As a former prosecutor of sexual assault, I take these allegations very seriously. Survivors courageous enough to come forward deserve to be heard fully, without being smeared in the media by pundits or political hacks. Credible claims require a full investigation.

I love this photo of astronaut Christina Koch looking back at Earth from Artemis II.

She's the first woman to see the full sphere of our beautiful planet.

Welcome home to the crew, and thank you for reminding us of all we can discover together.

AP: Artemis II’s astronauts returned from the moon with a splashdown in the Pacific on Friday. It was a triumphant homecoming for the crew of four whose record-breaking lunar flyby revealed swaths of the moon’s far side and a total solar eclipse.

Swalwell's endorsers are fleeing (Gallego, Gomez, CTA) and I don't expect him to get much grace. CA Dems were already frustrated that no one would quit the gov race. Swalwell jumped in fairly late (after Porter's gaffe) with this sword of Damocles hanging over him
