I was raped at a frat party. It’s a shockingly common experience and preventative interventions in college are way too late.

It's a revolving door at Fear News.
A lying, propaganda-spewing Trump administration press secretary, like Karoline Leavitt, becoming a lying, propaganda-spewing Fox News personality isn't technically a "new gig"—it's more like a lateral hire.

This is sad news. Simon was a big help with this story that showed Howard Lutnick apparently lied about his business entanglement with Jeffrey Epstein—a story that deserves more attention.

Good morning #BlueResisters, #ANTIFA, & #UnitedWeStand. Guess what? A Constitutional Republic such as the United States doesn't fall over night. It must have help.
The John C. Roberts' Court was that help. A waiver for a racist, megalomaniac tyrant to rob & pillage federal coffers.

Jane Doe is the name by which we know the young woman who has come forward to say she was gang raped in a room at the Chi Phi fraternity house while she was a student at Cornell in 2024.
