No to Newsome. He gets the nomination , and we lose. For me it’s not particular issue positions (although I have questions there!). It’s about earning a basic level of voters’ trust. I think he is a chameleon, a performer, and the right wing media will eat him alive. We have better choices.
Go away and take your daughter with you.
For God sakes no! Go the fuck away!
I wonder what percentage of Americans knows that the CIA helped overthrow a democracy in Iran in 1953, installing a brutal dictator who tortured and murdered people. Republicans keep citing the 1979 Islamic Revolution as if that was the start of U.S.-Iran hostilities. Go back 26 years earlier.
The CIA-backed coup against Prime Minister Mosaddegh which installed the Shah is also key for understanding why some Iranians invaded the U.S. embassy in 1979 (tragically taking the employees hostage). Many believed the prior coup was planned in the embassy and feared another would happen.
For the love of God, go the fuck away!
the most important state election of early 2026 is right around the corner… though you’d never know it by the attention it’s receiving.
here’s hoping this bolts article helps jumpstart a little more chat!
Still of President Trump at yesterday's dignified transfer ceremony as seen on Fox & Friends.
Incredible catch here.
Fox used footage from December 17, 2025, where Trump was not dressed in garish campaign swag.

Why is The Onion not funny anymore?
sweetheart, Abigail Spanberger won by 15.5 points and you did not bother to endorse her opponent.
shut the fuck up.
Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Singing through the bloody mist
We’ll take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst

This make you uncomfortable? Good! Because this isn’t history, it’s reality and what ICE has normalized.
Not interested in hearing from HRC.
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
Stay free
It must have affected his spine.
This is Alex Pretti.
They’re both spineless. I’m one of their many disappointed, disillusioned constituents. Kaine is taking the hits and the spineless positions to cover for Warner who’s running for re-election.
As one of his repeatedly disappointed constituents, we’ll see. I wish he was retiring instead of running for his umpteenth term
Spine check, Kaine. Do you have one?
Kaine deserves strong primary competition the next time he’s up, but I pray he’ll do the honorable thing and retire.

Apropos of nothing, remembering the old Chinese author Lu Xun:

Every part of this is heartbreaking
I am not a defamation or torts scholar, but boy do I have a good title for your next law review article:
Government Defamation.
And you’d better stick with it this time!
You are full of shit
We’re in a life and death fight for democracy. I welcome all allies. Goodbye to you and your rigid, ideological purity.
"There are a lot of criticisms of Dem Senators which I think are out of line, but the 'voting to confirm Trump nominees who are gonna get confirmed no matter what anyway' thing is one which I honestly don't understand." - Charles Gaba
Agreed 100% with @charlesgaba.com on this: the argument by Democratic Senators that they're "voting to confirm Trump nominees who are gonna get confirmed no matter what anyway" is utterly absurd, terminally naive, laughable, etc. bluevirginia.us/2026/01/sund...
