Y’all, the rape part of the charge was a “no” because @ejeancarroll said on the stand under oath that she didn’t know if she was penetrated by his genitalia because she couldn’t SEE (or I guess FEEL) his tiny mushroom.
Y’all.
Y’ALL!!!

THOUGHTS: A lot of folks are reaching out to me today about the E Jean Carroll verdict given my background and history, so I figured I would address it in a short thread. First and foremost, I AM GRATEFUL. 1/

I'm relived that the rule of law sometimes prevails, and that the untouchable donald trump is now beginning to see the consequences of his actions. I hope this trend continues because no one is above the law. 3/

And finally, I'm just so very proud of my friend @ejeancarroll and her brilliant legal team including @robbiekaplan, and all other women – and people – who believe in justice and fairness for all. We have a long way to go, but today was a great leap forward. END/

BREAKING: Congressman George Santos has been criminally charged by federal prosecutors in New York's Eastern District.
The exact charges are still under seal but he's been accused of violating campaign finance laws, conflict of interest laws, stealing $ from a veteran for his… pic.twitter.com/RUZbqNh5my

The exact nature of the charges couldn’t immediately be learned, but the FBI and Justice Department public integrity prosecutors in New York and Washington have been examining allegations of false statements in Santos’ campaign finance filings and other claims.

And to the 53% of white women who voted for @realDonaldTrump, don’t act like you never knew. He bragged about it on the @accesshollywood tape. Add sexual assaulted and defamer to @kaitlancollins introduction of him, Chris Licht. He’s long been a liar. 2/2

So, @CNN, quick question: If Trump's already lied about today's verdict & demonstrated he'll keep defaming E. Jean Carroll & you know it, do ya think giving him a platform to repeat those lies exposes you to any liability-not to speak of the disservice it does to your audience?

Probably worth emphasizing, over and over and over again, that the final vote in Kevin McCarthy’s one-vote margin for his bill to hold the full faith and credit of the United States hostage was provided by indicted fraud George Santos.

This anti-immigrant bill is going to hit Florida hard and fast.
The undocumented aren’t sticking around for DeathSantis to even sign it.
Let the crops rot.
Let them do the construction the best they can.
And, let’s not even start on the restaurant industry.
Some have said that they will just use prison labor.
Will remind folks that Alabama passed a similar law a few years ago, and tried the prison labor solution.
Didn’t work.
Oh well.
Just in time for DeathSantis to announce…the Florida economy craters.
We went from Doug Jones to THIS.

CNN is engineering this “so-called” town hall in a way that gives trump a built-in platform of sympathy and support. CNN is giving trump a nationally televised rally/pity party. I wouldn’t be surprised if the black man at every trump rally is seated somewhere up front. Shameful.

Santos indictment unsealed. Seven counts of wire fraud, three counts of money laundering, one count of theft of public funds, and two counts of making materially false statements to the House of Representatives.
They arrested the woman who stole the machine gun in Texas.
But, no recovery yet of the machine gun.

When you see the videos of folks walking through Missouri streets with guns, just know, this is what the Missouri GOP wanted. They nullified fed gun laws. They pushed open carry. They rolled back conceal carry permits and training.
They wanted a lawless state. This is on them.

Giving Trump a town hall and covering an authoritarian like a normal politician is white supremacy in action. No matter what lazy bullshit they peddle, Republicans are always taken seriously by the corporate media and the red carpet is always out for them.

Found this at another blog:
The DOJ managed to subpoena all the evidence, convene a grand jury, put witnesses in front of it, and bring an indictment against George Santos, without us knowing any of it was even happening. We have no idea how many other House Republicans are in the process of being indicted.
This does *not* mean that every House Republican you think is corrupt will magically be taken down. There’s a mile of difference between your standard of “obviously guilty” and something that a jury would actually convict someone on. DOJ doesn’t bother to bring hopeless charges.
But the point is, just because the media hasn’t reported that any given House Republican is under DOJ criminal investigation, that is not in any way an indicator that the person isn’t under DOJ criminal investigation, or won’t end up indicted.
There was one media report several months ago that the DOJ was looking into Santos’ finances, and that was basically it. The entire probe and indictment process played out without any of it ever making the headlines. A lack of headlines doesn’t mean anything.
It’s also a great reminder that the Garland DOJ doesn’t shy away from indicting political figures. All the tweets you see about that are just gibberish made up by pundits who have no actual insight to offer. The DOJ indicts people when it thinks it’s built a winning case, period.
Also keep in mind that *if* any House or Senate Republicans are getting indicted in relation to January 6th, it’ll likely come from Jack Smith, in the same timeframe Trump gets indicted. “If so and so hasn’t been indicted by now they never will be” is a very silly narrative.
Absolutely the truth about young 2520 men😒
