it is very funny how these people are so accustomed to essentially bullying democratic politicians that they meltdown when met with appropriate pushback.

in any case, the process to amend the virginia constitution has multiple stages where, at any point, an amendment can be defeated.

Dan Schulman is the new CEO of Verizon and he is predicting 20 to 30% unemployment within the next 2 to 5 years due to AI.

Not a typo. He thinks 1/3 of people currently employed will lose their jobs by 2030.

Zillow: "Zillow economists just published their updated 12-month forecast, projecting that U.S. home prices—as measured by the Zillow Home Value Index—will shift +0.0% between March 2026 and March 2027."

With 3% inflation, that is a decline in real prices.

Here’s What the New Virginia House Map Looks Like Democrats now hold six of the state’s 11 seats in the U.S. House, but the new map could allow the party to win 10 of them.

Virginians approved a new congressional map on Tuesday that would aggressively gerrymander the state in the Democrats’ favor. The party now holds six of the state’s 11 seats in the U.S. House, but the new map could allow the party to win 10 of them. nyti.ms/4cqs8ba

UPDATE: Trump has yet to acknowledge Virginia Democrats’ win in today's redistricting referendum.

The silence comes after he warned Monday it could “be a disaster” if Virginians approve the plan, which aims to counter GOP gerrymandering gains. https://bit.ly/4cZgqEohttps://bit.ly/4cZgqEo

Devin Nunes Departs Trump Media After 4 Years as C.E.O. The former congressman said it was an “appropriate time” for a leadership change at Truth Social’s parent company, whose share price has floundered.

President Trump’s social media company, which has consistently lost money and struggled with a flagging share price, announced Tuesday that it was replacing Devin Nunes as its chief executive officer. nyti.ms/3QjNBKh

Thing I didn’t have on my bingo card: Dems in light blue Virginia (Harris won by 6 pts) go full throttle on a maximal 10-1 partisan gerrymander while Dems in dark blue Maryland (Harris won by 28 pts) hold firm against drawing lone Republican Rep. Andy Harris out of a seat.

JUST IN: Trump still railing against #SCOTUS. He says he's likely to lose birthright case & complains "certain" justices he put on court "totally misrepresented who they were and the true ideology for which they stand." truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT...

Immigration Agent Is Charged With Assaulting a Colorado Protester The officer faces a misdemeanor charge after an encounter in Colorado, becoming one of the few federal agents to be prosecuted by local officials during the immigration crackdown.

An immigration officer in southwest Colorado who was caught on video grabbing a protester by the hair and hurling her down an embankment last October was charged with assault and criminal mischief on Tuesday, the local district attorney said. nyti.ms/4cYcXpF

Trump is really mad at the WSJ for pointing out that he’s getting rolled by Iran.

Fractures Emerge Between GOP’s Pro-Pedophilia, Extremely Pro-Pedophilia Wings

I can’t remember: did Texas even hold a vote to amend their constitution to add their five Republican seats?

Trump Spills on 'Squawk’ Appearing on CNBC, Donald Trump pulled back the curtain on how his "Squawk Box" interview came together—revealing more than the network likely wanted and raising questions about its booking process.

A CNBC spox told me "no terms or conditions" were set for the network's "Squawk Box" interview with Trump.

But it seems pro-MAGA host Joe Kernen tried to coax him into the interview with one assurance.

Washington Examiner: Imagine it was someone other than President Donald Trump. Suppose a different leader were posting deranged rants in the small hours, insulting the spiritual leader of 1.3 billion Catholics, threatening entire civilizations with annihilation, and comparing himself to God. What would be the reaction?

Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.

For the record: The Washington Post can go fuck itself.

I asked X, Paramount, ABC, and Meta where their donations to Trump's Presidential Library went. None of them could give a clear answer.

Tens of MILLIONS of dollars are missing.

Why should Americans trust that this money isn’t going straight into Donald Trump’s pockets?

The Counterterrorism Czar Without a Counterterrorism Plan Amid Trump’s war in Iran and an exodus of intelligence staffers, Sebastian Gorka has asserted that a blueprint for fighting terror threats is “imminent” — but has not released it. Iranian threats have...

A year ago, Gorka's counterterrorism strategy was “imminent.” In July, Oct., Jan., he was “on the cusp” of unveiling it. Nada.

If it is released, experts expect it'll have few details on how to combat threats, given Trump's gutting of national security agencies.

The surprising origin of 4 features that superglue kids — and adults — to screens Taken together, these four features can create a trancelike state that can keep us stuck on social media apps or video games for hours. Children are particularly vulnerable.

The GOP budget is pushing $140 billion to fund an additional 3 years of ICE & CBP.

This money could fund things Americans actually care about: health care, housing, affordability. 

But instead, they’re inflating the budgets of agencies that have caused chaos in our communities.

Oil +9%

Stocks -1%

A Bellwether Prosecution in Minnesota State assault charges against ICE agent can pave the way for charging killers of Good and Pretti. Plus, Friday's Lighter Fare.

"It is the first criminal charge against a federal officer arising from Operation Metro Surge. It bears a close watch, both on its own merits and as something of a dress rehearsal for the higher-profile potential prosecutions in the Good and Pretti cases." https://bit.ly/4etMth1

Wonder what the State Department’s genocide lawyer does these days.

I think you have to be drunk to use logic this poorly
