Baby boomers comprised a larger share of voters in 2024, accounting for 32%, but they are trending lower after hitting a peak of 36% in 2016.

Ocasio-Cortez, a millennial herself, expects the younger generation will soon tip the scales in American politics.

“Millennials are not punk kids anymore. We’re grown adults with mortgages and kids,” she said. “And we—that generation is starting to be decisive at the polls. And there is anger at being ignored, sidelined, having our economic futures mortgaged by the generations that came before us on everything from the economy to climate. And we’re taking the reins.”

From global warming to debt crisis to lack of affordable health insurance (all intentional), Boomers have definitely overstayed their welcome.

The case originates out of Garfield County in Western Colorado. Tyler Boebert, 21, faces five counts in total: three charges of sexual exploitation of a child and two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. All of the charges are felonies and are alleged to have happened in 2024.

The Denver Gazette has requested the arrest affidavit from the Garfield County courts. He was arrested last week by the Garfield County Sheriff’s Office.

This is not the first time Tyler Boebert has had a run-in with the law. He was arrested in 2024 and charged in connection with a string of thefts after he and several friends allegedly broke into cars and stole debit cards, gift cards and cash.

Tyler Boebert is scheduled to appear in Garfield County District Court on Aug. 19 and remains free on a $10,000 bond.

Full title: This scene in The Force Awakens (2015) wasn't scripted; Kylo was supposed to hand over his lightsaber, but instead Harrison Ford impaled himself so he wouldn't have to film one more goddamn second of Star Wars crap

Taylor Farms is recalling more than a dozen jalapeño products amid a multistate salmonella outbreak linked to peppers.

Not that the vast majority would be without empathy, just that power would raise it from where it sits currently. Thought I should clarify that.
