NEW — Virginia voters have approved a 10–1 congressional map, putting Democrats in a strong position to flip four seats from red to blue. The new map is now among the most aggressive gerrymanders in the country.
Good endorsement, AM Patel!
-Your constituent 😊
The last thing a RethugliKKKan sees before he's redistricted out of a job
I think that fraudsters and predators resigning in advance out of fear of expulsion, is good actually.
Wait… Von Wilpert is tied with Schaefer?! That is INSANE. 😳
A very happy Virginia Redistricting Referendum day to all who celebrate. 🗳️🎉🌊
SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “The faithless president depicts himself as Christ while he plunges the nation into wars of choice… Remember — While you pay more for everything, the First Family’s wealth is growing by billions. Because they’re crooks, and everybody knows it.”
🙏
To state the obvious (but being forgotten by many), we didn’t need to go to war to open the Strait of Hormuz. It was already open. To claim this outcome as a war achievement is paradoxical.
The President is looting the United States.
Repugnant, blatant racist.

On April 15, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Three male narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No U.S. military forces were harmed. @DeptofWar #OpSouthernSpear
Despite the administration’s rhetoric and bogus legal theories, the supposed armed conflict with “narco-terrorists” appears to be entirely make believe.
Murder is the general term for premeditated killing outside of armed conflict.
BREAKING: A record-high 40 senators just voted to block weapons to Israel, up from 27 last July.
There is much more work to be done, but today was yet another statement that the movement for Palestinian rights is growing in the halls of power.
Withdrawn UN Ambassador pick and gubernatorial candidate says what?
🚨 Record high of 40 Senators have just voted to block $300M of bulldozers to Israel.
Blumenthal, Coons, Cortez Masto, Fetterman, Gillibrand, Rosen, Schumer voted w/ Republicans.
Along with demolishing Palestinian homes, Israel used a bulldozer to kill 23-year-old American Rachel Corrie.
Virginia State Senator Louise Lucas is just a delight on every level
Meanwhile @kaine.senate.gov has confirmed he will vote against weapons transfers to Israel given its wars in Iran, Lebanon & Palestine:
Rep. Jayapal: Do you know how many of the largest corporations paid absolutely nothing in federal income tax?

Story TK
Becerra has a breadth of experience in government and public service. He comes across as a person of sound character with consistent values.
He is my preference, over the billionaire trying to buy the Governor’s mansion and the toxic boss with the tired white board brand.
I am voting for Xavier Becerra in the June 2nd primary for Governor of California.
Breaking:
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota county investigates ICE arrest of Hmong American man as a potential case of kidnapping and false imprisonment.
Sen. @ossoff.bsky.social: In Donald Trump's America, the rich get tax cuts, the well connected get stock tips, and everybody else makes sacrifices.
He is so fucking annoying
Tisza now at 132 seats, one seat away from supermajority.
Go for it.
It makes me feel like a large number of his endorsers had heard the allegations, and were comfortable supporting him without it being public. Which is quite disturbing.
Your last sentence about the people and institutions who enable it is key. A number of people including in the reporting on the Swalwell allegations share that this pattern of predatory behavior on his part were essentially an open secret in DC and here in California.
And I say that because Becerra is a longtime proponent of Medicare for all. And he doesn’t seem to have presidential ambition (or charisma). Likewise with Swalwell, we know Steyer has those ambitions as well.
