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 DOJ is now 122 days overdue to release the Epstein files.

Virginia Ex-Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax Kills Wife and Self, Police Say

Generational trauma is real.
“As I raised my right hand to take the oath of office as lieutenant governor of Virginia, I had in my breast pocket the papers that freed my three-greats-ago grandfather.”

"We reject the false doctrine, as though the state, over & beyond its special commission, should & could become the single and totalitarian order of human life, thus fulfilling the church's vocation as well." From The Barmen Declaration (1934) in response to Nazi influence in the German Church.

It’s infuriating when a woman comes forward about a man raping her in his hotel room after drinking and the response is “Why would she go to his room?” “Why would she drink with him?” This is Mike Pence logic. Women should be allowed to hang out with men without expecting they will be raped.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate:

1950: 50%
1990: 25%

I don’t try to argue with his supporters any more. I just say “I wonder how you’d feel if any other candidate had done this.” I don’t even need their answer.

Israel is bombing innocents - not Hezbollah. “Israeli forces said they carried out more than 100 airstrikes in just 10 minutes. Sirens whirred across Beirut, and thick smoke rose over the city’s skyline.”

If you havent seen this, make sure you read.

15 people have died in ICE custody JUST THIS YEAR.

That is 1 death a week.

Under this regime, 2026 is set to be the deadliest year for ICE detention EVER.

The need for guardrails and meaningful oversight could not be more urgent.

REMINDER: What Israel is doing in Lebanon has nothing to do with Iran.

It never did.

They're trying to anex Southern Lebanon because of a Zionistic belief that they have a right to it.

Netanyahu has been using Trump's war with Iran as cover to take it.

From friends today at the Near East School of Theology in Beirut:
“‘Eternal Darkness’ is what today’s campaign against Lebanon was called by Israel. Over 250 deaths, 1500 wounded. But “Eternal Darkness” will not touch OUR souls. Our God-given mission is to bring love in a world full of darkness.”

Please remember that Israel continues to bomb Lebanon. 🇱🇧

The next time DJT asks a reporter “Who are you with?” They should respond:
“I’m with the United States of America. Who are you with?”

Hey, FIFA! You need to cancel all World Cup games scheduled to be played in the United States and redistribute those games to be played either in Canada or in Mexico. The US must be sanctioned!
