I feel so bad for those who were rebuilding and have to face the fires again, not to mention their own memories of the previous fire.

Oh wait, now I am seeing in the NYT article that the raid started at 5 Eastern time, in which case that photo would be not staged. Gah. I should have checked it out before posting.

Ohhh dammmnnnnn It is with a broken heart that today I announce my resignation from Congress. This is the hardest thing I have ever had to do, but I believe it is the best thing for my constituents, my community, and our country. See my official statement below. t.co/nG97RQIwvO

The special election to replace Katie Hill will be a doozy. It was a contested primary and a toss up race in 2018. Blllaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh

I’m glad that Ds abide by the rules and care about them, but damn. The president sexually assaults how many women and there’s no consequence?

I keep typing a lot of things and deleting them bc I can't quite put my thoughts into good enough words. Basically, if Rep Hill engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staffer then that's totally unacceptable and she should (as she was) cooperate with the ethics committee and possibly resign.
But I am also disgusted by the invasion of her privacy that took place and feel that it casts a shadow on the credibility of the accusation against her.
The entire situation is terrible.

And to be clear, if she broke the rules, she needs to resign. I’m just frustrated because I had a lot of trust in her and it seems she broke it. I’m also mad that her privacy was invaded and her pictures were released. Gah.
This isn’t my district but I have been oddly invested in her since the early days.
ETA: I also think there’s probably more coming out.

Not remotely the same thing but the blog that posted the photos of Hill is the same blog that revealed the blackface photo from our governor's yearbook and the sexual assault allegations against our Lt governor. It feels like filthy, seedy stabs at swing district democrats. It's just unfortunate that this is what we've come to.

I haven’t followed enough to know the details for 100% truth. But if this is true then I’m even more angry. *not saying sexual misconduct/assault is ever ever ever okay*

Gosh my thoughts on this Hill thing are really all over the place. I was just wondering why she didn’t stick through the investigation before making a decision on resignation. But knowing she is the victim of abuse she might be suffering more behind the scenes than we know - either from her abuser or from PTSD or mental health triggers of this. I hope she is ok.

I'm fine with Hill resigning. Anyone who puts a 22 year old staffer in that position can go ahead and fucking resign.
I work with employees that age. The power dynamics aren't remotely confusing.

I...did not realize he was 22. My bad. The staffer I was referring to was a 22-yr-old female staffer who was allegedly in a relationship with both her and her husband. A 22-yr-old employee in a relationship with two married adults, one of whom is a Congress person and the other a seemingly huge piece of shit who engages in revenge porn....there's one person I feel bad for in that situation and it's not the Congress person or the POS.

I...did not realize he was 22. My bad. There are multiple things going on. The campaign staffer who is 22 was in a consensual relationship with Hill and Hill’s husband. This is the one leaked pictures involve. Hill acknowledged and apologized for this. There is also a finance director (male) closer to her age that the husband alleges an affair with. Hill denied this but this is the relationship the ethics investigation was opened over. Apparently he got a larger bonus than anyone else.
