The state of our union is unaffordable.
RT @RepRobertGarcia: The President and his DOJ are, right now, responsible for the largest coverup in modern American history.
Enough. Re…
This is my view tonight at the State of the Union from the Republican side of the aisle.

I’m joining Nancy Mace, Lauren Boebert, and Anna Paulina Luna in calling for Representative Tony Gonzales to resign immediately. Where are the other men in the GOP? Trump is infamous for making terrible endorsements — this is one and it should be revoked.

Congressional ethics is a joke. They have so much dirt on members of Congress, and they do nothing. There is even a slush fund they use to pay people off with your tax dollars. This is part of why the system is so broken. They’re sitting on reports, and if someone steps out of line, isn’t it ironic how they leak them, threaten to leak them, or time it for right after Election Day?
As you can see, there is a serious problem up here, largely surrounding sexual misconduct. It pisses me off because while some of us are actually working and busting our asses, these clowns are sexually harassing their own staff, doing illegal crap, insider trading etc. It sets a terrible precedent for the entire institution.
I would kick every single one of you out if I could, but I can’t because the votes aren’t there. The one thing I can do is call it out on here so people know and push to ensure there is no insider trading for any of you.
Stop being predatory freaks and get OUT of office. YOU DO NOT BELONG HERE. This behavior is reprehensible and a poor reflection on the Republican Party, and I will not tolerate this type of moral rot in my own party. NOR should the AMERICAN PEOPLE.

The entire Texas delegation, as well as every single other Member of Congress, should be condemning a sitting Member of Congress asking for explicit photos of their staff. As a woman, this is really disgusting to see. Not to mention, it brings dishonor on the House of Representatives. I am so sick of people not calling this crap out. Again, like I’ve said before, this is not the only case of this crap up here. @RepTonyGonzales, shame on you.

The regulatory agencies are captured by the incumbents in industry, and the regulatory agencies are relevant because they lend the imprimatur of the government (presumption of safety and efficacy) to certain brands while blocking competing solutions through licensing.
Some wheat is sprayed with glyphosate just before harvest to help dry the crop. The weed killer is applied to wheat intended for human consumption.
The EU banned this use. Some claim glyphosate is used for desiccation on only 3% of US wheat crops.
We should end this practice.

The advancement of technology doesn’t always mean the advancement of society.
In 2020, one year after Jeffrey Epstein died, an Assistant United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York discusses a confidentiality agreement "in connection with the investigation into the murder of Jeffrey Epstein."

We are glad that the former prince is being held accountable in the UK. At the same time, Oversight Democrats have sent multiple requests for him to talk to our Committee.
He may have critical information about Epstein's co-conspirators, and we hope he does the right thing.
Which is closest to your nuanced position on traditional news, journalism, and reporting:
I. I mostly believe & trust the news.
II. I have agreed to trust the news.
III. I publicly pretend the news is real.
IV. News is now just too perposterous.

If any good is to come out of the sordid and disgusting Epstein scandal, then hopefully more people will now be aware of just how sick and twisted certain individuals are within gilded networks in our society. All those involved should be exposed and prosecuted. No ifs. No buts.

Personnel records indicate Trump's top pesticide policy official is Kyle Kunkler, a former pro-pesticide lobbyist.
In 2020, Kunkler won a "rising star" award from the pesticide industry's trade group.

Republican Congressman Gonzales: I serve with some real scumbags. Matt Gaetz, he paid minors to have sex with him at drug parties.

A horrible but extremely important study here. I have said for years that we don’t place enough focus on just how many sex offenders are in our society, which increases victim prejudice and victim blaming.
We always hear ‘1 in 4 girls will be abused’ or ‘1 in 3 women will be raped’ - but we never hear ‘1 in X men are rapists’.
This study of 1900 Australian men follows the similar studies in USA and UK.
Key findings here:
1 in 10 men admitted to sexually abusing a child
1 in 6 men reported being sexually attracted to children
1 in 15 men said they would have sexual contact with a child under 14 if they wouldn’t get caught
The men who offended against children were more likely to be professionals, married, earn higher incomes and work with children.
Whilst we might not like this stats and results, we cannot continue in our sector without accurate estimates of how many people are abusive and dangerous.
All of our stats are based on victims, but no one wants to talk about the sheer amount of abusers - millions of them in our societies.
Work like this is vital, in my opinion, to end victim blaming. If there are millions of these offenders, how can any person or agency blame the victim? How can they claim they should have seen it coming? Or should have known? Or should have protected themselves more?
THIS is the real reason why sexual violence and child abuse is so common - not because victims have ‘vulnerabilities’, but because there are millions of perpetrators in every corner of our lives.
🇩🇪 Übersetzung
RT von @_HeartofGrace_: Eine schreckliche, aber äußerst wichtige Studie hier. Ich sage seit Jahren, dass wir uns nicht ausreichend darauf konzentrieren, wie viele Sexualstraftäter es in unserer Gesellschaft gibt, was zu Vorurteilen gegenüber Opfern und deren Schuldzuweisungen führt.
Wir hören immer: „Jedes vierte Mädchen wird missbraucht“ oder „Jede dritte Frau wird vergewaltigt“, aber wir hören nie: „Jeder X Mann ist ein Vergewaltiger.“
Diese Studie mit 1900 australischen Männern folgt ähnlichen Studien in den USA und im Vereinigten Königreich.
Wichtigste Erkenntnisse hier:
Einer von zehn Männern gab zu, ein Kind sexuell missbraucht zu haben
Einer von sechs Männern gab an, sich sexuell zu Kindern hingezogen zu fühlen
Jeder 15. Mann gab an, sexuellen Kontakt mit einem Kind unter 14 Jahren zu haben, wenn er nicht erwischt würde
Die Männer, die Straftaten gegen Kinder verübten, waren eher berufstätig, verheiratet, verdienten besser und arbeiteten mit Kindern.
Auch wenn uns diese Statistiken und Ergebnisse vielleicht nicht gefallen, können wir in unserem Sektor ohne genaue Schätzungen darüber, wie viele Menschen missbräuchlich und gefährlich sind, nicht weitermachen.
Alle unsere Statistiken basieren auf Opfern, aber niemand möchte über die schiere Menge an Tätern sprechen – es gibt Millionen von ihnen in unserer Gesellschaft.
Eine solche Arbeit ist meiner Meinung nach von entscheidender Bedeutung, um der Schuldzuweisung an die Opfer ein Ende zu setzen. Wenn es Millionen dieser Straftäter gibt, wie kann dann eine Person oder Behörde dem Opfer die Schuld geben? Wie können sie behaupten, sie hätten es kommen sehen müssen? Oder hätte es wissen sollen? Oder hätten sie sich besser schützen sollen?
DAS ist der wahre Grund, warum sexuelle Gewalt und Kindesmissbrauch so häufig vorkommen – nicht weil die Opfer „verwundbar“ sind, sondern weil es in jedem Bereich unseres Lebens Millionen von Tätern gibt.
