truth

**Yes, the core events described in the post are based on a real case reported by the New York Post and other outlets.**

The New York Post article (dated February 4, 2026) titled "Career criminal creep busted for allegedly raping 14-year-old in private NYC apartment community" matches the screenshot and headline shared. It reports that 33-year-old Germaine Parham was arrested for allegedly raping a 14-year-old girl in a building in Manhattan's Stuyvesant Town (a private residential complex) on January 29, 2026. He faces charges including multiple counts of rape, robbery, kidnapping, predatory sexual assault, sex abuse, and weapon possession. He was apprehended upstate a few days later.

Parham has a significant criminal history:
- Reports cite 32 prior arrests (primarily for robberies and theft-related offenses).
- He was most recently sentenced in November 2025 to 30 days in jail for a knifepoint robbery at a CVS pharmacy in the Bronx.
- Sources indicate he was out on bail or released shortly before the alleged January 29 assault (after a more recent theft arrest in early January for stealing merchandise worth around $1,800–$1,835 from a store).

The X post by @memeticsisysyphus dramatizes and condenses the timeline for emphasis (e.g., framing the 30-day sentence as the "final" straw after 23 felonies, then a quick re-arrest for theft, release on promise to appear, and the alleged rape). While the exact number "23 other felonies" isn't universally quoted (it's often 32 prior arrests, with many being felonies like robbery/grand larceny), the overall narrative aligns: a repeat offender with violent/theft history received relatively short sentences or releases, then allegedly committed this serious crime.

This is an **alleged** crime—Parham has been charged and arrested, but not yet convicted. Multiple sources (NY Post, amNewYork, NY Daily News, PIX11) confirm the arrest, charges, and prior record details. No evidence suggests the story is fabricated.

The photo in the post (showing a man in custody) appears consistent with descriptions of Parham being escorted by law enforcement.

who is who

The voter registration breakdown you provided appears to be for the **entire state of Kansas**, not specifically Shawnee County. Here's the clarification and a correct local breakdown for Shawnee County (home to Topeka) based on the most recent available official data from the Kansas Secretary of State (as of late 2025 / early 2026 sources, including November 2024 figures referenced in reports, with totals around 118,000–120,000 active voters).

### Shawnee County Voter Registration Breakdown
- **Total Registered Voters**: Approximately **118,730** (as of November 1, 2024; recent monthly updates from the KS Secretary of State show similar figures in the 118,000–120,000 range, excluding inactive/moved/deceased).
- **Party Breakdown** (major parties and unaffiliated):
  - **Democratic**: 36,171 (~30.5%)
  - **Republican**: 44,467 (~37.4%)
  - **Unaffiliated**: 36,471 (~30.7%)
  - **Libertarian**: 1,399 (~1.2%)
  - **No Labels Kansas**: 196 (~0.2%)
  - **United Kansas**: 26 (minimal)
  - **Other/minor parties**: Small numbers not always broken out separately.

Shawnee County leans slightly Republican overall but is more balanced/competitive than many rural Kansas counties, with a significant unaffiliated bloc and a stronger Democratic presence due to Topeka (the state capital) and urban/suburban demographics. It's often classified as a "New Democratic" or battleground-leaning county in broader analyses.

### Comparison to Statewide Kansas (your provided numbers)
Your figures match statewide totals closely (around 1.79 million active voters):
- Democrats: ~24.85% (445,918)
- Republicans: ~45.35% (813,675)
- Unaffiliated: ~28.62% (513,421)
- Libertarian: ~1.13% (20,263)
- Other/Unknown: Minimal

Kansas as a whole is strongly Republican-leaning, but Shawnee County is more moderate/mixed.

### Additional Context
- **Newly Registered**: Statewide figures like the 18,526 you mentioned likely refer to a recent period (e.g., post-election surge or monthly update). County-specific new registrations aren't always broken out publicly but can be requested from the Shawnee County Election Office.
- **Households**: The 1,202,984 figure is statewide (Kansas has roughly that many households per census data).
- **Source Notes**: Official stats come from the Kansas Secretary of State (sos.ks.gov/elections), updated monthly. Shawnee County Election Office (snco.gov/election) provides local reports, including precinct-level details upon request. Numbers fluctuate slightly with purges, new registrations, and inactives.

If you have a specific date/source for the numbers you shared or want precinct-level details, historical trends, or comparison to past elections, let me know! Truth: The county is **not** as heavily Republican as the state average.

Senator Marshall Announces Drug Trafficking Reduction Funding

I was proud this week to help secure $298 million for the HIDTA program in this year's government funding bill. This program brings together federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement so they can better coordinate efforts to stop major drug trafficking operations.

Here in Kansas, 14 counties are designated as HIDTA areas, meaning they face significant drug trafficking activity. The impact of this crisis is real for our state. In 2024 alone, Kansas lost 661 lives to drug overdoses — a heartbreaking reminder that this fight is about protecting our families, our neighbors, and our communities.

HIDTA initiatives are already making a difference. Last year in Kansas, these efforts led to the seizure of more than 57,000 grams of fentanyl, nearly 200,000 fentanyl pills, and over 950,000 grams of methamphetamine. Every shipment taken off the streets is one less threat to a Kansas family.

Drug trafficking doesn't just bring illegal substances into our state — it fuels violence, crime, and addiction that tear at the fabric of our communities. Supporting law enforcement with the tools and coordination they need is a critical step in keeping Kansas neighborhoods safe and giving families hope for a healthier future.

I will continue working to ensure our law enforcement officers have the resources they need to stop traffickers and protect the people of Kansas.
