🚨He spent years slapping anti-child abuse frames on his Facebook profile picture. Now he’s the one facing child abuse charges. Gregory Curtis Daffron, 35, of Jonesboro, Arkansas, was just arrested sporting a “Gulf of America” shirt on 44 felony counts of possessing or using child s*xual abuse material. Investigators say it started with two cyber tips from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in early September. Google handed over details tied to an account called “Honey Badger,” including an IP address, email, and date of birth. Police say that account was used to upload 44 videos showing the s*xual abuse of children. The IP address traced back to a Jonesboro home through the internet provider. The birth date on the account matched Daffron’s, which is how police say they identified him as the owner. On Sept. 22, Jonesboro PD’s Internet Crimes Against Children unit, SWAT, the U.S. Marshals Service, and the FBI raided his home. They arrested him and seized his devices. A judge found probable cause, set his bond at $250,000 cash or surety, and barred him from internet access on any device. Under his Bible quote profile text, his old Facebook posts include “Let Kids Stay Kids” and “Child Abuse Prevention Awareness” profile frames, plus shares about foster care, child welfare worker appreciation, and stopping child trafficking. His voter Arkansas voter registration lists him as a Republican. Daffron does not appear to be a drag queen, trans, Muslim, or undocumented immigrant. Just MAGA.

🚨A former Idaho Republican candidate has been sentenced to prison for a minimum of 3 years after preying on a child. Ryan Dewayne Jenks, 46, of Boise pleaded guilty to felony lewd conduct with a minor under 16. Under the Idaho legal statue, that charge amounts to s*xual contact/child m*lestation. A judge sentenced him to a minimum of 3 years and a maximum of 20 years behind bars. Translation: he’s eligible for parole after just 3 years. Before he was a convicted child predator, Jenks ran for the Idaho House of Representatives in 2014 as the Republican nominee for District 18, Position A. He lost that race to Democrat Ilana Rubel. This is the same Republican Party that spent years obsessing over drag queens and library books, warning parents about imaginary threats to children at every school board meeting from Boise to Bangor. Meanwhile, one of their own candidates for public office was abusing an actual child. Jenks isn’t the first “family values” Republican to get caught hurting the kids he claimed to be protecting, and he certainly won’t be the last. The party keeps running the same playbook: manufacture outrage over invented threats to children while quietly producing real predators from within its own candidate pool.

🚨BREAKING: New reporting from the Guardian reveals Trump’s FCC Chair Brendan Carr joined a Washington, D.C.-area Alcoholics Anonymous offshoot called Midtown in 1996, when he was about 17. He stayed connected to the group for roughly nine years, including through law school. Fourteen former members told the Guardian that Midtown’s leader, Michael Quinones, who died in 2007, controlled nearly every part of members’ lives: where they lived, where they worked, what they ate, and who they dated. The allegations go further. Former members say teenage girls and young women were coerced into relationships and sex with older men inside the group. One former member, identified as Tammy S., called Quinones the “Epstein of AA.” Another said what happened to her may have amounted to sex trafficking. An FCC spokesperson denied any wrongdoing on Carr’s part. These are allegations from named sources, not criminal charges, and Carr has not been accused of participating in the abuse. But here’s the actual story. A man who spent nearly a decade inside a group credibly accused of grooming and trafficking minors now sits atop the federal agency deciding what counts as acceptable speech on American airwaves, and he’s used that power aggressively against journalists who actually do their jobs and comedians who offend Trump.

🚨David Murray, a MAGA Libertarian from Bath, NY, built his public identity around “saving the children” and accusing Democrats of being p*dophiles. He’s now sitting in jail on child r*pe charges. Investigators allege the 38-year-old had oral s*xual contact with a child under 11 who is related to him. He is charged with first-degree r*pe, first-degree inc*st, and endangering the welfare of a child. He’s being held in the Steuben County Jail in lieu of $25,000 cash bail or a $75,000 property bond. Murray’s Facebook page tells a very different story than his current mugshot. He shared “Save Our Children” anti-child s*x trafficking content and shared a protest sign claiming groping kids “isn’t a dealbreaker” for Biden supporters. For the record: Biden has never been accused of any form of child s*xual abuse. In between the child safety crusading, he flooded his page with standard MAGA slop: Trump memes, jokes mocking trans people, and posts supporting Kyle Rittenhouse. Now he’s the one facing child s*x abuse charges.

🚨A Florida jury just handed Republican State Rep. Fabian Basabe the verdict he swore would send him packing. He's still in office, so we now know exactly what that promise was worth. Last week in Tallahassee, jurors found Basabe liable for sexually harassing two of his own male staffers, battering both of them, and defaming one of the young men and his mother on social media. The jury deliberated for less than two hours before ordering him to pay $450,000 in damages. The testimony was ugly. Legislative aide Nicolas Frevola told the court that Basabe whispered in his ear, "I want all of that butt," and proceeded to slap his buttocks, before demonstrating the assault for jurors. Frevola also described Basabe slapping him across the face at a legislative reception after accusing him of cheating on his girlfriend. Intern Jacob Cutbirth testified that Basabe put a hand on his thigh, tried to kiss him, and repeatedly pushed him to leave his fiancée for a man. Basabe voted in 2023 to expand DeSantis's "Don't Say Gay" law, extending its classroom restrictions on discussing sexual orientation all the way through eighth grade. The same lawmaker who helped legislate LGBTQ identity out of classrooms was privately propositioning his own male staffers and showing them pictures of a naked man on his phone. Basabe fired his lawyers mid-case and represented himself, scrolling ChatGPT for legal answers while the judge scolded him for breaking rules that would have gotten "an attorney" sanctioned. Back in 2023, Basabe recorded himself vowing he'd resign "on the spot" if any of it were ever proven true. A jury just proved it. He hasn't resigned. He's still on the ballot this November. Jurors heard both sides under oath and believed his accusers completely. This is the Republican Party.

🚨Steven Wright of Owensboro, Kentucky, spent years online branding himself as a defender of Christian “family values” and a protector kids from the mythical threat of transgender “ideology.” He accused Joe Biden of being a p*dophile and said people who voted against Trump in 2020 are “perverts.” Kentucky State Police say the 62-year-old—who posed with a slaughtered pig in vehicle like something out of a horror movie—was arrested and charged with s*xual abuse of a minor under 12. His arrest came from the same investigation that led KSP to charge 32-year-old Wesley Wright of Morgantown with two counts of first-degree r*pe of a child under 12 back in August. Wesley was already in the Daviess County Detention Center on unrelated charges. Police haven’t clarified how, or if, the two men who share the same last name are connected, and the investigation is ongoing. Steven Wright’s Facebook is a masterclass in “protect the children” MAGA deflection. —He shared a graphic that read “Biden Loves Minors” —He posted that “if voting for Trump makes me a racist, then your vote for Biden makes you a pervert.” —He shared a photo from Beau Biden’s funeral with an arrow drawn pointing to Joe Biden captioned “Even The Little Boy Gets It.” —He shared a picture of a bumper sticker on his truck warning threatening to cripple any transgender women who use the same bathroom his wife and daughter use. —He mocked a transgender health official as “the obese man who thinks he’s a woman.” —He posted Deuteronomy’s verse against cross-dressing. —He had another anti-trans meltdown claiming a “16 year old boy can now use the restroom and shower room with your 13 year old daughter.” —On race, he shared a Dr. Seuss parody reading “I do not like all the diversity.” —He posted a Daily Wire story about a “black” suspect accused of killing a white child as if the man’s race was part of the crime. Now he’s the one in a mugshot. There won’t be a Daily Wire story about this given his race, religion, sexuality, and political affiliation. Make sure this case gets the attention it deserves. 🔁

🚨BREAKING: A federal judge just ordered the Trump DOJ to hand over records it clearly does not want anyone to see. U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan ruled that the Justice Department must turn over handwritten FBI notes from four interviews with a woman who says Jeffrey Epstein introduced her to Donald Trump in New York or New Jersey in the 1980s, when she was between 13 and 15 years old. She told FBI agents in 2019 that Trump tried to force her to perform oral s*x after that introduction. Sullivan ordered DOJ to hand over both redacted and unredacted versions of the notes by September 24. He will review the material privately before deciding what gets made public. The case comes from a lawsuit filed by journalist Katie Phang, who is suing DOJ for failing to comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act. That law requires the government to release unclassified Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell investigation records while shielding victim identities. DOJ argued the handwritten notes were basically the same as typed reports already released, so there was no reason to hand them over too. Sullivan didn’t buy it, ruling the notes are separate records that could contain details left out of the final paperwork. Phang’s lawyers also found nearly 100 examples where DOJ already released handwritten notes for other Epstein interviews. DOJ has already appealed Sullivan’s order. He refused to pause the deadline while that appeal plays out. Predictably, the White House calls the claim baseless. But DOJ’s own pattern of stonewalling these files keeps giving people every reason to ask why DOJ keeps stonewalling.
