Everything is “rigged” against him. Everything. He is the absolute biggest fucking crybaby who’s ever lived.

Virginia court blocks voter-approved redistricting, appeal coming The appeal is expected to move swiftly — and could ultimately land before the Supreme Court of Virginia, which will have the final say on whether the voter-approved map can take effect.

A Virginia judge temporarily halted the state’s newly approved congressional map — but state officials are already moving to try to overturn the ruling, setting up a rapid legal fight in the state’s Supreme Court. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Two Iranian Women in ICE Detention Are Not, In Fact, Related to Qasem Soleimani, Documents Show After Laura Loomer pointed to two women she claimed were connected to the late Iranian military commander, they were arrested and remain in immigration detention. One is now gravely ill.

HUGE scandal if true. Laura Loomer got Marco Rubio to throw two Iranian women with green cards in ICE jail to be stripped of status and deported, claiming they were related to Qasem Soleimani.

Official documents provided to @dropsitenews.com appear to show they are NOT related; they're innocent.

Trump’s sagging polls boost Democrats’ midterm hopes A spate of new surveys shows Trump’s approval hitting new lows that suggest he is starting to lose even some of his base.

Trump’s approval is now sitting in the mid-30s across multiple polls, with one survey putting him at 32%.

That’s getting close to George W. Bush territory.

How Trump Accidentally Handed Dems Their Big Win in Virginia The vote yes campaign featured Trump all of its closing ads in areas where it ran up huge numbers. Voters know who started this war.

Remarkable: 100% of the ads in Northern Virginia heavily featured Trump to turn out voters for the redistricting referendum in the closing days, a source tells me.

That's right, all of the ads were all about Trump. This backfired for him spectacularly.

Secretary of the Navy John C. Phelan is out. He’s not a woman, Black, or LGBT, so that’s not the reason this time.

Frustrated with failing/lacking Iran strategy?
Told to do war crimes and said no?
Defended a Black or female officer’s promotion?

The White House’s behavior invites this speculation.

He needs his supporters to be really REALLY angry when they lose. If he can't be a dictator then he wants a civil war.

Sam Altman’s Orb Company Promoted a Bruno Mars Partnership That Doesn't Exist "To be clear, we were never approached ... nor were we in any discussions regarding a partnership or tour access," a spokesperson for the artist tells WIRED.

Sam Altman's orb company made a big deal last week about an orb partnership with Bruno Mars. It doesn't exist, they never even talked, yet another reason not put your faith in the orb. from @mzeff.bsky.social and @laurengoode.bsky.social

This kind of antifeminism is a socialism of fools, wherein working class resentment at exploitative elites is diverted into anger at feminized phantasms, like “HR.”

CDC won’t publish report showing covid shots cut likelihood of hospital visits The report, which had cleared the agency’s scientific-review process, had been delayed. It now won’t be published at all, people familiar with the decision told The Post.

@washingtonpost.com lives up to its motto ("democracy dies in darkness") with this expose about CDC killing a scientifically reviewed report already approved for publication. The findings? The COVID vaccine is a good thing that works. By @lenasun.bsky.social Gift link 🎁 wapo.st/41JhAhb

Trump is rehearsing the same delegitimization script that led to January 6, but he’s not targeting this race specifically. The target is public trust in elections.

🗳️ 90% of young Americans value free and fair elections, but only 30% trust election outcomes, according to our new poll.

That gap isn’t an accident — it’s the result of a deliberate Deceive, Disrupt, Deny playbook that specifically targets Gen Z voters. Our new toolkit breaks it all down.

Nothing to worry about, just the Heritage Foundation publishing an article on how the Republican Congress can refuse to seat Democrats www.heritage.org/election-int...

This Data Center Is Getting a $77 Million Tax Break to Create One Job No other project in the country has gotten such a large subsidy to create so few jobs, according to watchdogs.

A New Jersey data center will reportedly receive $77 million in tax breaks — while only creating one permanent job.

One job, in exchange for higher utility bills, noise pollution, and potential groundwater pollution.

Is it any wonder communities are organizing to stop data centers?

James Comer is under fire after a memo revealed Republicans are shifting away from traditional hearings on the Epstein Files.

Instead of formal proceedings, the committee is moving to “roundtables”—informal sessions with no authority.

Witnesses are not even required to be under oath.

Crypto billionaire Justin Sun is suing Trump-linked World Liberty Financial, alleging it froze his $75M investment, blocked sales, and stripped his voting rights.

Sun says he was pressured to buy more and retaliated against when he refused—calling it a scheme to “profit through fraud.”

The Trump administration is removing protections for over 59 million acres of the National Forest System, opening untouched land to logging.

This is your periodic reminder that Democrats introduced legislation in 2021 to ban gerrymandering nationwide and every republican voted against it except two who were absent.

As attacks from the Trump administration and its backers in Congress continue, health care costs are rising for patients and communities, as other providers cannot fill the gap left by Planned Parenthood health centers. IT’S EVEN HARDER TO GET BIRTH CONTROL Taking away access to birth control and basic care creates contraceptive deserts in more communities *In 2025, over 50 Planned Parenthood health centers closed across 18 states, including over 20 closures since H.R. 1 was passed. Nearly all closures occurred in contraceptive deserts. • When people cannot afford the full cost of contraception, they rely on a network of publicly funded providers that offer free or reduced-fee care through public funding, primarily Medicaid coverage and Title X-funded services for individuals living with low-incomes or uninsured. *Planned Parenthood health centers serve one-third of all female patients seeking contraceptive care at publicly funded health clinics. • Over half of the counties where a Planned Parenthood health center closed now lack any Planned Parenthood provider. In those counties, these centers provided the majority of contraceptive care for low-income women in those counties

The war on birth control access is well underway, it's just less explicit

Planned Parenthood says 50 of its clinics closed last year as a result of an anti-abortion budget provision—and nearly all of them were in contraceptive deserts (link in alt). Translation: it's now harder to get birth control

Any "extraordinarily brilliant person" would know his presidency is in free-fall after his disastrous decision to enter another endless war-of-choice in the Middle East & that on November 3rd accountability is coming for the most corrupt criminal Administration in U.S. History.

Bird for the win!

Nobody knows more about Epstein than @jkbjournalist.bsky.social. She’s absolutely right: the American people can’t lose sight of the fact that the Trump administration is covering up for pedophiles. Keep the pressure up. Follow the money.

Elizabeth Warren: "You know what banking system Scott Bessent wants? The one we had right up until 1933 -- just deregulate the banks, and they crash. The alternative is to say we need better regulation over the private credit market."

That’s not a thing! There is no different way to calculate the percentages!

TINA SMITH: Secretary Kennedy, a trillion dollars in cuts according to the CBO, 7 million people losing their health insurance because of the Trump administration. That's not debatable

RFK Jr: There is nobody legally enrolled in Medicaid who is losing coverage

SMITH: That is just not true!

It’s been about a week since now-former Rep. Tony Gonzales resigned from Congress after the Texas Republican admitted to having an unethical sexual relationship with at least one former aide, who later died by suicide.
