Sources say that if Kash Patel cannot stop binge drinking and spending taxpayer dollars on his personal travel, Donald Trump is prepared to fire the highest ranking woman at the FBI.

5 years ago, Democrats introduced a bill to ban gerrymandering in every state nationwide.

Every single Republican voted against it.

Virginia State Sen. Lucas: This 10-1 map is about leveling the playing field for the country. We are not going to let anyone tilt the system without a response. This goes beyond Virginia. What started in Texas didn't stay in Texas. Virginia sent a message. If you try to rig the system, we fight back

Rep. David Scott, a Democrat of Georgia, has died: www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Scott, who is 80, faced a lot of pushback for choosing to run for reelection this year, amid reports he'd skipped voting in many recent cycles (inc. 2024 presidential race) & faced multiple primary challengers in May

Opinion Editorial Board Virginia plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss The redistricting scheme was always a power grab by Democrats. Voters went along with it. April 21, 2026 at 9:08 p.m. EDT

Opinion Editorial Board The Texas gerrymander freakout What's happening in the Lone Star State is not a threat to democracy. August 20, 2025

The Washington Post editorial board under Jeff Bezos is exactly who you think they are.

Pa. court recognizes ‘reproductive autonomy’ as a right, strikes down ban on public funding for abortion In a 4-3 ruling, the Commonwealth Court found that abortion access is a fundamental right guaranteed by the Pennsylvania Constitution.

Pennsylvania's appellate court confirmed that access to abortion is a fundamental right under the Pennsylvania Constitution.

This decision is a win for all Pennsylvanians.

The government shouldn't be making your healthcare decisions - you should.

Two things can be true:

Congress should pass uniform, national legislation reining in partisan gerrymandering; and

Until that happens, or every state adopts an independent redistricting commission, neither party is going to (or, frankly, should) unilaterally disarm.

So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out

A social media graphic with a navy blue border and cream background. Navy blue and orange text reads, "Special election update: Virginia says YES! to new congressional maps." At the bottom of the word 'YES!,' an orange outline of the commonwealth of Virginia appears with Governor Abigail Spanberger wearing a white coat inside of the state.

It’s official: Virginians have rejected Trump and Republicans’ efforts to rig the midterms.

In less than 196 days, we will flip the House blue.

Now that the Supreme Court has ordered the Trump administration to refund companies what they paid in tariffs, yet there are still tariffs in place, what's the plan? Consumers continue to fork money over to corporations who will later get another refund?

EU’s top court finds Hungary’s anti-LGBTQ+ law in breach of key values ECJ says law passed in 2021 is discriminatory and ‘contrary to the identity of the union’, in early test for new PM

“The EU’s highest court has found Hungary’s anti-LGBTQ+ law to be discriminatory, stigmatising and in breach of basic democratic values…”

This is a crucial decision. The court rejected the political claim that LGBTQ+ representation is “propaganda.” We must keep fighting politics that dehumanise us.

Lesson: When we fight we win.

Host: At least 3 people are accusing the Labor Secretary of creating a toxic workplace environment and seeking retaliation against women who reported her husband for sexual misconduct. She allegedly ordered staff to do personal chores for her, including cleaning out a personal clothing closet.

Sen. @warnock.senate.gov: The man who holds the highest office in the land has been confirmed by a court verdict to be a sexual abuser. And yet there are Christians who will surround him and talk like he is the second coming. All the nonsense around the Epstein files, God is not pleased with that

16 years ago, Republicans gerrymandered Virginia, taking 8 out of 11 seats in the House of Representatives.

Tomorrow, Virginia voters will have the chance to combat Trump's gerrymandering efforts by voting YES on the referendum.

Wasserman Schultz: MAGA just doesn’t know what to do with so much winning. I mean, they have skyrocketing gas prices, grocery prices, housing prices, utility prices, and health care prices, and they refuse to do anything about it.
