Turkey -

I helped design the process a Congressional staffer has to follow after a member of Congress sexually harasses them. It starts with mandatory counseling. Not for the member. For the staffer. We call it "a cooling-off period." The staffer cools off. The member keeps voting on federal law. If the staffer survives counseling, they get mediation. Not with their own attorney. With a mediator we choose. In a room we book. On a timeline we set. If the staffer survives mediation, they get to file a formal complaint. Against a member of Congress. While still employed by that member of Congress. In a building that member of Congress controls the funding for. That's due process. Now. These same members of Congress wrote Title VII. They confirmed every EEOC commissioner. They held hearings on Weinstein. They mandated that every private-sector employer in America provide an independent investigator, legal counsel, and protection against retaliation. Then they built themselves this. They know exactly what a working system looks like. They wrote one for you. And then they built the opposite for themselves. Because a system that works would catch them. That's institutional design. Between 1997 and 2017, our system produced 268 settlements totaling $17 million. Exposed 0 names. Required 0 resignations. Cost the accused $0. The money came from a Treasury fund. Your money. A line item somewhere between road maintenance and national defense. We called it the Office of Compliance. That's compliance. 1 member settled for $84,000 and pledged to repay taxpayers. He never did. Nobody made him. 1 member's office paid $27,000 in "severance" to a woman who said he made unwanted advances. The word "severance" was the legal team's idea. I thought it was elegant. In 2018, after Weinstein and #MeToo and the hearings and the marches and the hashtags, we reformed the system. The reform did not require members to reimburse settlements from personal funds. The reform did not unseal a single record. The reform added a training seminar. That's reform. Then this month happened. A staffer told CNN she was pushing her congressman off of her, saying no, and he did not stop. His attorney sent her a cease-and-desist letter. 3 more women came forward. 50 of his former staff signed a letter. The Manhattan DA opened an investigation. A different congressman. Different party. Same building. He admitted to an affair with a staffer. He'd also texted a campaign aide requesting nude photos. The staffer he had the affair with took her own life in September 2025. He announced his resignation this week. Both parties agreed: expulsion votes for both men. 1 Democrat, 1 Republican. Bipartisan accountability. Then Nancy Mace introduced H.Res. 1100. A resolution to release the Ethics Committee's sealed sexual misconduct records. Redacted. Victim names removed. Just the conclusions. Just the names of the members. The House voted 357 to 65. Not to release them. To bury them. To refer them back to the same Ethics Committee that sealed them in the first place. In a country that cannot agree on healthcare, immigration, or whether to fund the government past Friday, 357 members of Congress. Republican and Democrat. Men and women. The people who write the nation's sexual harassment laws. They looked at the filing cabinet where we keep the names and agreed: That cabinet stays closed. 65 disagreed. They were outvoted by a margin usually reserved for naming post offices. We will expel 2 members. We will hold press conferences. We will say the words "courage" and "transparency" and "the safety of every person who works on Capitol Hill." The press will cover the expulsions for a week. And they will not cover the 357-65 vote at all. We gave them 2 names so they'd stop asking for the rest. That's the trade. It works every time. And every member who voted to seal those records knows what's in them. They know because we told them. They sat in a closed session and reviewed the files and then walked out and voted 357 to 65 to make sure you never find out what your employees did with your money to their employees. The system doesn't have a harassment problem. The system has a disclosure problem. We solved it in 1995 with a mandatory counseling requirement and a taxpayer-funded settlement account. We re-solved it in 2018 with a training seminar. We solved it again last month with a 357-65 vote and a filing cabinet with no key. Every institution in America has this filing cabinet. Every HR department. Every university Title IX office. Every church diocese. Every corporate legal team. Ours is just the one your taxes paid for. And we're the only ones who voted to keep it locked where you could watch. I helped build it. It works exactly as designed.

Statement from Adm. Brad Cooper, CENTCOM commander:

Small local NJ election STOLEN using electronic voting machines with only 43 voters. The final count was 33 to 10, but the woman who lost called the people that voted because she knew all of them, and they found out that her votes were switched with her opponents by someone on the inside of her county. We have a serious problem in America with these voting machines and nothing seems to be happening about it.
