If we are just comparing people who held elected office, what is the ratio of Republicans to Democrats who have been arrested for pedo stuff? Seriously, is it at 10:1 yet?
The press will do stories on Republican sex creeps, but it will never, ever point out -- much less make an ongoing narrative out of -- the fact that the GOP has been *ridden* with sex creeps for decades. You have to be blind not to see the pattern.

Michael Tracey published what he said was the ID of the "Jane Doe" in the Cornell case. Then he took it down, claiming he just wanted to make a point and didn't want to see harm to the person he named.
What he hasn't admitted is that he mistook info on a sketchy site for official NY court records.

It’s genuinely wonderful to hear this man give voice to the conservatism we’ve all suspected of him. It makes it possible to draw clear political lines, right where they exist, and to dispense with needless hedging and contortionism just in case his views are actually “moderate.” They’re not

Just also want to note that trans people and advocates for the unhoused have told people for years that Gavin Newsom is trash. If this is what makes people realize how awful he is, great, but I really hope this is also a wake-up call to listen the first time someone tells you who they really are.
