It’s a day that ends in a “y,” so it’s time for a Republican sex pest story! Also, again, these are Republicans we’re talking about. So it’ll never be just one.

First up: Johnny McEntee! Whether he’s stuck reliving his college glory days, or whatever it is, McEntee seems intent on leveraging it for his sex pestery. When he’s not compulsively gambling or passing counterfeit notes, that is.

Next: Rep. Anthony D'Esposito, who at least had the courtesy to engage in a truly conservative sex scandal, putting both his fiancée's daughter and his mistress on his official House payroll. That’s old school! Maybe that’s why even George Santos finds this one so embarrassing for the Gop. (Of course, the other reason could be that D’Esposito led the charge to expel Santos as a “stain on the institution.”)

Kamala Harris has now endorsed a carve-out from filibuster “rules” to pass legislation codifying Roe, and Schumer’s on board. But not Manchin. On the other hand, Manchin’s not actually on board the Senate train, anymore.

Oh, is that a policy position? I was told that people don’t know what her policy positions are, so they “can’t” vote for her, or something. But that’s not stopping these folks, parading for Harris/Walz in their “golf cars” through The Villages, once considered territory too hostile for such displays.

As usual, Greg Dworkin delivered a thorough round-up of the latest polling, leading off with the Harvard Youth Poll from the Harvard Kennedy School Harvard Institute of Politics Harvard Harvard-y Harvard. Also, Harvard. Anyway, the kids are alright, even if Harvard isn’t. Into the “cross-tabs?” Plenty of data available on Latino and Asian-American voters, too.

“Dems have to win the popular vote by 4% in order to win the Electoral College” may be the new “everything in the Senate requires 60 votes!”

In the “confirming our priors” department, the UK’s Foreign Secretary is on board with describing Russia as a mob-ocracy.

And if you’re old enough to remember when floating impeachment for the use of torture, indefinite detention and/or warrantless domestic surveillance was really just “partisan tit-for-tat,” then you’ll be annoyed and/or amused to find that “partisan tit-for-tat” IOKIYAR.
