State sen. aide Diane Cook [R-NC] was charged with felony arson after she set fire to a house while two people were still inside.

Setting homes on fire with people still inside is not an outlier anymore, it’s becoming a theme in modern MAGA politics.

County judge Alan Shane Britton [R-TX] was charged with five felonies including assault, abuse of office and witness tampering in a domestic violence case.

Fmr. US Rep. and convicted sex criminal RJ May [R-SC] was charged with failing to pay nearly $15k in state income taxes over a three-year period.

State Rep. Bryan Morse [R-NH] was charged with a felony after posting nude photos of a woman online without her consent.

MAGA men keep behaving like they think consent is optional. Sharing someone’s private photos is abuse. Full stop.

Rep. Cory Mills [R-FL] allegedly hired sex workers in Georgia during an unsanctioned trip related to the Afghanistan withdrawal, disgusting his group so much that they cut ties with him before heading to Afghanistan.

His priorities were crystal clear and none involved saving Americans.

Just sickening.

An insurrectionist Trump pardoned on day one was charged with sexually assaulting an 11-year-old boy three times over six months and trying to bribe him with a bogus $10M ‘reward’ linked to his 1/6 conviction.

Fmr. US Rep. candidate Michael Ogle [R-KS] was sentenced to three years in county jail after flooding 911 with bogus calls, making criminal threats, and targeting his judge with hostile voicemails.
