Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—
AOC: Wah wah wah.
We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no.
What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.

The political freakout among some corners about a small number of government run grocery stores aimed at addressing the hunger of the poor is wild to me, in part because all over the country there are ways you could get groceries for free, and even delivered to u for free. Food pantries, etc…
The former employee claims that executives at Beast Industries displayed "demeaning treatment towards women."

Nice pivot attempt. Once you've served in the Trump Administration, we don't have to listen to you (unless it's in sworn testimony that helps convict him).
GIF because it's appropriate and because I can't use the word "pivot" without thinking about this scene.
Post from headquarters news.bsky.social with video from Tucker Carlson and the text “Tucker Carlson: I'll be tormented for a long time by the fact that I played a role in getting Donald Trump elected. We're implicated in this. I misled people.”
if you post this clip, you should also post clips from the same episode of him saying the 2020 election was stolen, the civil rights movement was “disgusting,” and trump can’t be racist bc he has sex with black women.
tucker didn’t have a change of heart over trump; he had a change in strategy
Gerontocracy is not a strategy.
Remarkable: 100% of the ads in Northern Virginia heavily featured Trump to turn out voters for the redistricting referendum in the closing days, a source tells me.
That's right, all of the ads were all about Trump. This backfired for him spectacularly.

Two Pentagon spokespersons said on Tues AM that they were unable to field questions on why the 15 casualties disappeared. “As soon as the duty officer comes back to their desk, I can get this to them,” said one of them

Trump: “A RIGGED ELECTION TOOK PLACE LAST NIGHT IN THE GREAT COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA! All day long Republicans were winning, the Spirit was unbelievable, until the very end when, of course, there was a massive ‘Mail In Ballot Drop!’ Where have I heard that before … As everyone knows, I am an extraordinarily brilliant person, and even I had no idea what the hell they were talking about in the Referendum, and neither do they! Let’s see if the Courts will fix this travesty”

Absurd. Maddening. And so so harmful.

A judge said a documentary released on Peacock last year could not have harmed Sean “Diddy” Combs’ reputation, as it was already “tarnished” by his criminal charges and civil lawsuits alleging sexual assault.
If you like what happened in Virginia, you’re gonna love DC statehood
It is objectively bad for democracy that both blue and red states are doing extreme gerrymanders.
But the only feasible solution — a national ban on partisan gerrymandering — has only been endorsed by one party. And it's not the one complaining about Virginia right now.
it is very funny how these people are so accustomed to essentially bullying democratic politicians that they meltdown when met with appropriate pushback.
in any case, the process to amend the virginia constitution has multiple stages where, at any point, an amendment can be defeated.
