Don't miss what the NYT did here to try to spin the VA referendum as an unprincipled move by Dems:

🔥 @aoc.bsky.social: “WAH WAH WAH… Democrats have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no.”

(From @pabloreports.bsky.social )

Republican Motto: When you lose fair and square...Cheat.

Pathetic.

Could have cropped that photo different but photographer obviously not a fan. LMAO

Also the women's team in the background - totally on brand for this administration.

As predicted, the orange felon is calling the election in Virginia yesterday rigged.

Which means it’s another great win for democracy.

Right, I'm just like - who doesn't want to retire? Especially if you have the money to do it in style.

56 years ago, the U.S. marked the first Earth Day following a massive oil spill off the Santa Barbara coast.

While Trump tries to drag us backward with illegal offshore drilling in the same area, California is proving that climate action goes hand-in-hand with economic growth.

@HQNewsNow - Pete Hegseth has just ended a mandatory flu vaccine requirement for the entire military. US service member deaths due to influenza and related pneumonia in World War 1: 45,000 US service member deaths due to combat in World War 1: 53,402 [A black-and-white archival photograph of a massive, overcrowded military hospital ward from the World War I era. Dozens of soldiers are seen lying in rows of white iron cots that stretch deep into the background, with medical staff in white uniforms moving between them.]

Share this far and wide. The Spanish Flu started among US soldiers and spread to Europe on troop ships. If you don't know about the Spanish Flu, it killed 675,000 Americans. It wiped out entire families.

OMG -- the RFK Jr breathing noises during this hearing are absolutely horrifying

brilynhollyhand - From where I'm standing, a 12-year-old girl can travel 2 hours, claim they're going to school, and instead get an abortion where a baby is viciously murdered. This is what the Left wants. We can't be quiet. We need to boldly speak out against abortion. stevehofstetter replied - Sorry, I didn't really listen past the part where you glossed over someone raping a 12-year-old.

@stevehofstetter.bsky.social

Dude needs someone to hold up a mirror so he can see what else white privilege looks like.

A reminder while Republicans bitch about Dems finishing the redistricting fight they started: they have full control of gov’t— they can pass a law banning gerrymandering any time they want. They won’t. Republicans aren’t mad gerrymandering exists; they’re mad that they’re not the only ones using it.

Redistricting is a hard one. Some people are against it on principle. Plus Republicans ran a bunch of scare tactic ads about how it was a Dem "power grab" and they would take our guns + raise all our taxes.

If Republicans hate the CA and VA redistricting, they can thank the person responsible - Donald J. Trump.

None of it would’ve been possible without his leadership on this issue.

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.

Texas redistricts without a vote, Republicans cheer.

Dems in Virginia respond by putting it UP FOR A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE, it passes, Republican cry foul.

Oh well. Good job Virginia!!

GALLEGO: Earlier today, you told Sec. Kennedy that Trump never demanded you to cut interest rates. Is that your sworn testimony?

WARSH: That is, senator.

GALLEGO: Okay. Well someone here is lying then. Because Trump confirmed he pressed you on interest rate cuts.

If you're at both parties are the same but also we still need the GOP cuz "power grabs" please rethink your position.

The Dem party is made up of 6 different factions, including conservative Dems (basically GOP frugalness minus the hate). We don't need hate in any policy agenda.

VOTE YES VIRGINIA!

Little by little, there's glimmers of hope.

He likes when people die

"We didn't start this fight, but I'm saying to Virginia, we need to finish it." Quote from VA Del. Delores McQuinn

Virginians: Today's the last day to vote on an important redistricting measure.

I hope you'll vote YES—for Virginia, and for the entire country.

You have a chance to help level the playing field as Republicans seek an unfair advantage in Congress. Please take it. Get more info: IWillVote.com/VA

The only reason ppl publicly become Republicans these days is because they either need a pardon or don't want to be prosecuted for crimes.

67 - that is the magic number of Democratic Senators needed to do some impeaching.

Unprecedented, Sickening Corruption. All out in the open Podcast Episode · The Social Contract with Joe Walsh · April 20 · 36m

The most corrupt President, the most corrupt presidential family, in American history. When will enough Americans care? Today’s show.👇 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Say what you will about the worst members of the Roberts Court, but they all make sure their wives are in on the grift.

Jane Roberts, Martha Alito and Ginni Thomas are equal partners with their husbands in the grand project of destroying the United States and enriching themselves in the process.

So to recap:

-$160 BILLION+ unconstitutionally collected in tariffs from 🇺🇸 corps, despite Trump saying foreign co’s pay

-they pass that cost to us

-Now corps collect the💰back… from us?🤔

heads they win, tails we lose!😕🤷🏼 (almost like this was the plan all along)

In voting rights win, Virginia agrees to stop mass voter purges near Election Day The dispute exposed a growing national tension between Republican-led efforts to aggressively purge voter rolls and federal protections designed to ensure eligible voters are not wrongly removed.

🚨BREAKING: A federal court Monday approved a settlement forcing Virginia to halt voter purges near elections — delivering a major win for voters by reinforcing federal protections against last-minute disenfranchisement.

Why do we still need the GOP?

"One party" rule, fascism? LOL

As if Dems don't regularly fight amongst themselves bc there's a huge divide amongst the progressives/liberals/centrists. We would have 1 party rule in name only and the only thing we would lose is the racism, bigotry & misogyny.

Wow.

Trump finally admits American families and businesses paid the cost of tariffs.

Trump’s new budget ignores dying Americans and gives away record sums to the US military President’s proposed budget slashes health department by 12% while throwing $1.5tn – a 42% increase – to the military

Cutting health care to bankroll an unnecessary war is a choice, a loud one.
