It’s trashy to cover what consenting adults are doing in their personal time. If it doesn’t affect the voter in any way, I just don’t see why this is news for legitimate outlets. It reeks of misogynistic voyeurism and we deserve better.

I don't know about that. I'm interested in how those entrusted with my government behave in their spare time. trump held a Gilded Age party at Mar-a-Lago during a shutdown when some Amercans needed food and a paycheck.

I think that's newsworthy. Moral compasses matter.

In your example, you’re discussing how tax dollars are being spent at Mar-a-Lago, though. That makes sense, and I agree with you. But what a single woman is doing with her free time has absolutely no bearing on local governance and feels a lot like “slut shaming.” Should we make her wear a red letter, too?

Tell that to M. Lewinsky. People love salacious gossip.

Oh, they definitely do! And I’m not one to kink shame, if some people really get off on knowing about other people’s sex lives. It’s just that I think those kinds of stories should be in trash like the Enquirer or the NY Post. Not to yuck someone’s yum or anything, but I think better of the Agendas.

Agreed. This is trash. If you have to cite the NY Post, maybe stop and rethink your motivation. There was zero value in this ”story”.

Ciscomani voted for all the healthcare cuts in the Big Bad Bill, in order to fund tax cuts for billionaires. Now he's making noises and writing letters to show, he really does care about those who will lose their healthcare or will have to pay more.

Did the AIRC gerrymander CD-06 enough for Ciscomani to be re-elected in 2026?

Adelita has found her calling! She shines like the sun… which has been known to bake potted plants like the one who represents the district next door.
