Interested in if Orban actually goes down this time. Would be a huge victory against right populism worldwide if he does

Well, now I'm interested in California's 14th congressional race, which frankly, should have a special election soon after Congressman Eric Swalwell hopefully resigns in disgrace.

For those out of the loop, the SF Chronicle published this story today with a pretty bad sexual assault (actually, arguably, rape) accusation against Swalwell by a former staffer. And it sounds like there are more stories from other former staffers.

Much of the discourse has focused on his campaign for Governor, calling on him to drop out of the race. However, given the evidence cited in the article (contemporaneous texts, medical records, and other compelling info), I think a resignation is in order.

Would anyone disagree...?
