The message of the Right reacting to Virginia is the same as the message of "2020 was rigged": no victory by anyone but us is ever legitimate. We are the only ones allowed to win.
These people are cartoon villains entitled to no respect and no trust. Rabid dogs.

Hi all, just sent out free midweek update on USA-Iran. Normally bad superlatives are used about war--the worst, the most destructive, etc. These are rarely warranted. However in this case we have one superlative, we are witnessing the most corrupt war in US history. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...
Two other stories. The strategic situation really has not changed for a month. Trump wants out, Iran is not letting him, and everything else is hot air. The US is facing the limits of its power. Also, the oil markets do seem to be optimistic--hope they are right.
RUIZ: Bloomberg reports that Trump & the WH have benched you because you're making the president look bad
RFK Jr: That's not true
RUIZ: I think the reporting is correct. You're making the president look bad. You talked publicly about snorting cocaine off a toilet bowl seat. Your words, not mine.
I had totally forgotten about Hoffa & the details of his disappearance. Nice to revisit this mystery. Thanks Jon.
Virginia’s new map will give Democrats the chance to flip four seats currently held by Republicans. That could put Dems slightly ahead in the national mid-decade gerrymandering wars—a result few thought possible when Trump picked the fight by pushing Texas Republicans to redraw their map last year.
Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer has resigned following the opening of multiple investigations. This marks the third major cabinet-level departure in the current administration this week. Oversight of 17,000 employees now falls to an acting secretary.
The scale of destruction in Gaza is now quantified: 71 billion dollars and ten years of work. The UN and EU report details the systematic dismantling of healthcare and education systems, calling for a coordinated international response to address the humanitarian crisis.

FRIENDS: Tomorrow is Election Day in Virginia! Polls are open from 6AM-7PM.
Vote YES on redistricting to put the power of drawing districts back in the hands of the people — not politicians. Fight fire with fire, and protect fair representation.
Your vote is the firewall! 💙🗳️
#VoteYesVirginia
If you live in Virginia, tomorrow you have a huge opportunity to make it clear to the GOP that if they want to win, it won’t be by changing the rules and redrawing maps. At least, not without a fight. Vote YES on the redistricting vote, and push back!
The Iran war is damaging America's influence around the world and exacerbating tensions with countries already whipsawed by Trump's second term — an erosion of power that could be tough to reverse as U.S. adversaries such as China take advantage.
Isn’t that a beautiful sight to see?

I worried about my Grandma being alone after Grandpa died and got her a rescue dog. She named him Buddy, which was my Grandfather’s nickname when he was a kid. They seem to be getting along pretty well…

Amid a hot streak of overperformances across the country and Trump's slipping approval rating, New York Democrats are wondering: Why not try to flip a seat that Trump won by 20 points?
However you've lined up politically in the past, if you're worried about where our country is headed, you belong in this conversation.
Here are my full opening remarks from last night in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Thankful to the people of Oklahoma for such a warm welcome back.
The U.S. has significantly reduced its weapons stocks after it launched the war on Iran seven weeks ago. As a result, deliveries of weapons purchased by European countries have been postponed.

Over the weekend, Trump’s Energy Secretary admitted that gas prices may not come back down below $3 until 2027.

Hill Republican leaders are finding themselves in a never-ending crisis over the fate of a government spy law that has unleashed a bitter, intraparty battle within the House while also threatening to derail a host of other GOP priorities.
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.”
Searing opinion from a federal judge on Long Island, who describes "police state"-like tactics by ICE to arrest peopleand draw up after-the-fact warrants.
He says DOJ is damaging its credibility with the courts by trying to shield ICE from scrutiny. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Exactly. They keep mum on rescuing a soldier and am thankful he survived but they cannot rescue America. Cowards, one and all.
This makes Donald taking credit for the rescue all the more amusing.
The Strait of Hormuz is Trump's new COVID.
COVID destroyed his first presidency.
This dumb war is destroying his second.
