BREAKING: [YET ANOTHER MAGA PEDO] The CHIEF OF STAFF for a top Republican official in Alaska is indicted for sex trafficking children, and HOW he was caught is incredible. Craig Scott Valdez, 36, chief of staff to Republican Sen. George Rauscher and newly elected chair of the Anchorage Young Republicans, was arrested Friday on charges of sex trafficking a minor, producing and receiving child sexual abuse material, and coercion and enticement of a minor. Officials believe there may be at least 12 minors who were victims of his operation. This isn't a misunderstanding. This is a monster. According to court documents, Valdez allegedly lured a 15-year-old girl he'd groomed on Snapchat to his home to "sexually exploit her to celebrate his birthday." He had met her when she was just 13 or 14 years old. The FBI has identified at least 11 other potential victims. You know who stopped him that night? Not the Republican Party. Not a background check. Not any kind of vetting process. Her mother. A brave mom used a family tracking app to find her daughter at Valdez's home. She knocked — then walked in, punched Valdez in the face, and carried her barely-conscious child to safety. Valdez, apparently stunned that a mother's love hits harder than his sense of impunity, then FLED HIS OWN HOUSE when police arrived. Sen. Rauscher's office had nothing to say — firing Valdez only AFTER the charges became PUBLIC. The Anchorage Young Republicans had just elevated this man to state committee chair last month. MAGA loves to screech about "protecting the children" at school board meetings and drag shows. But when a predator is running their own offices and youth organizations? Crickets. Pink slips. No accountability.

Here’s a message plain and simple: if your agenda is working, you don’t have to make it harder for people to vote. The results, and the people, speak for themselves. NO on the SAVE America Act.

Sen. John Kennedy admits on Fox News that the Republicans and Democrats reached a deal to fund TSA, but Trump said, “No. No deals with the Democrats.” Kennedy says, “It would have worked. We could have had TSA paid by the end of the week.” This is the Trump shutdown!

All those long, long lines you're seeing at the airport are thanks to one man: Donald Trump. He was presented with a deal to fund TSA along with the rest of DHS except ICE, and he said no. This is on him.
