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.

Behind Trump’s Public Bravado on the War, He Grapples With His Own Fears The president’s impulsive style has never been tested in a sustained military conflict, and he’s been ruminating on Jimmy Carter’s failure in Iran.

Irish families are paying nearly double the electricity rates of these industrial facilities, effectively subsidizing the massive energy consumption of global tech giants while struggling with a punishing cost-of-living crisis." https://greenparty.ie/news/uncritical-expansion-data-centres-will-fuel-social-inequality-and-energy-crisis-cllr-hazel-chu

So we're effectively subsidizing tech giants during a cost of living & energy crisis. Meanwhile this Govt continues to cheerlead their expansion & continue to fail in their obligations.

Ex-model, arrested by Aventura police and deported, causes White House stir A Brazilian brought to the U.S. on an Epstein plane at age 16 lashes out at the Trumps, saying she was betrayed by her friend Melania.

Battleground Republicans are starting to worry about the Senate Democrats still face serious challenges to flipping the chamber. But Republicans are no longer dismissing the threat as quickly as they once did.

With each passing week, Republicans are saying more and more out loud what we’ve known for months:

They have a Senate problem.

Although this is a dramatization, it does go well with what happens when we are not aware of what is happening around us.
