Everyone knows the way you change the Constitution is to have six people in robes make up a new Constitution as they go along.

Democrats did not want to do any mid-decade redistricting. It was Trump who started it in June 2025 with a phone call to Greg Abbott after more special election losses. Dems warned they’d respond. But Texas did it anyway - without the consent of the voters. Then Dems responded.

every conservative political complaint comes back to "those people shouldn't count because they disagree with me"

L. Louise Lucas @SenLouiseLucas Remember when Republicans drew Virginia's Congressional map so Black people were packed into one district and said we should be grateful they gave our community this district. NOW they can have one district and see how much they love it. Image 8:04 PM · Nov 2, 2025 · 444.4K Views https://x.com/SenLouiseLucas/status/1985151099527942517

Starting a mid-decade redistricting war only to end up with -1 seats is the same fine strategic genius and subtle grasp of game theory that brough us the Strait of Hormuz.

I repeat: Self-sabotage

The implicit media consensus is that urban voters should not be able to overrule rural voters, but that rural voters should be able to overrule urban voters, an assumption so axiomatic and unquestionable that nobody even understands they're making it.

just saw someone call Kash Patel “J Edgar Boozer” and need to lie down

as it becomes clear that Yes has won in VA and gerrymandering will pass, a message to Republican voters:

you brought this on yourselves

you convinced the most fairness-obsessed, That Wouldn’t Be Fair-minded voters in the country to affirmatively vote to put you in the dumpster

you earned this

* The current iteration of the GOP, regardless of how the above statement applies, writ large needs to be eliminated because it has actively fostered the rule breaking atmosphere.

The fact of the matter is the Republican Party, at the direction and in service of Donald Trump, have loudly announced that they won’t play by the rules of the game. Those who don’t play by the rules should be removed from the game. Only once they agree to play by the rules can they be forgiven.*

Remember, Democrats have repeatedly advanced measures to ban partisan gerrymandering and Republicans have voted against them time after time.

This is the game Republicans wanted to play. OK, then.

The whining from the worst Republican you know will be quite delicious

the delete republicans act will pass

in louise l. lucas we trust

that’s godawful

Trump+13 state lmao

First saw this story over on Threads, and people really, really, really did not like anyone correcting misinformation about their misreading of the story. We seem to be moving to some sort of post-reality where people just want fake stories that reinforce their beliefs.

Portsmouth and Norfolk are now almost fully reported and YES is overperforming our vote goals by 7 points in the two counties.

Thirteen U.S. troops died trying to get these people to safety — Afghan interpreters, soldiers, and the families of our service members. Veterans spent sleepless nights during the chaotic withdrawal fighting to keep them alive. Now our own government is going to abandon them.

Prince William and Norfolk both seem to be nearly completed for election night

PWC: Yes +26
Norfolk: Yes +43

PWC: Harris +18
Norfolk: Harris +42

it’s so cool how you just *know* this will result in republicans calling the election rigged because they’re too stupid to understand that every single vote cannot all be counted at this exact same time

A series of posts from journalist Mark Chadbourn reporting on the acceptance speech of Péter Magyar after Hungarian elections: Péter Magyar: "Our country wants to live again. It wants to be a European country again." Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 24m Magyar's speech is powered. From a contact in the audience: "He's basically just asked all the puppets, all the supreme justices, all the heads of media, all the heads of the ministries to leave their jobs tomorrow and not wait to be fired." •.. Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 22m He's announced that Hungary will join the European Prosecution Office so anyone in the country can be charged. Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 21m Magyar: "No mercy, they will need to take responsibility for all their actions." ... Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 20m Magyar says he's starting work with the EU and NATO immediately. "The EU doesn't have to worry anymore."

From new Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar's acceptance speech tonight. This is the absolute BARE MINIMUM platform for any Democrat running for President in 2028.

not the biggest thing but I really appreciate Matt Drudge's inherent haterdom at long last serving the truth and light.

doesn't fully justify my undergraduate Drudge Report habit but goes some distance towards

Virginia is a liberal Democratic state, it elects nice white moderates statewide who go to low church mainline protestant denominations on Sunday and support businesses and soccer moms. It's not Oregon or California. It's a state that is extremely committed to "norms", "rules", and "bipartisanship"

It's amazing, all it took was Elon Musk to just be Elon Musk and Donald Trump to just be Donald Trump and they single-handedly squandered all good will the GOP was building in NoVA:

Loudoun County: Harris+17, YES+22
Prince William County: Harris+18, YES+26

arlington voters when governor spook does a ballot initiative:

Phoeo of a cute cat behind a super market toy set looking at the camera, with the silly caption of "Khajiit has wares if you have coin" which is a known The Elder Scrolls line.

This is monstrous. Just profoundly shameful behavior by our government.

The Onion wants to make us submissive slaves to the New world order.

Correct.
