Fisherman. We're blowing up fishing boats.

Maryland to become first state to ban ‘dynamic pricing’ in grocery stores Governor Wes Moore said he is excited to sign the new bill.

This bill isn’t magic or even sufficient on its own, but reflects what serving your constituents actually looks like. Frankly a breath of fresh air in this fascist hellscape.

We won. 💪

Virginia voters showed up and shut down Trump’s power grab loud and clear. They tried to rig the rules. We used our votes to take the power right back and protect fair maps. This is what it looks like when we fight back — and win.

Same!

Richmond and Fairfax county are still zero percent reporting. Some of the bluest areas.

People like Pete Hegseth believe that China manufactures the flu as a weapon.

He then tells China, potentially our biggest military enemy, that he is ensuring that US troops *will* be made vulnerable to the flu.

When you're too stupid to reconcile your conspiracy theories.

This is giving me anxiety.

Come on, Virginia!

Yes takes an early lead. Only 8% reporting. Stay in line, Virginia! I'm hoping the yes vote cracks 60%.

Look for the helpers. ❤️😭

DEVELOPING: Trump's DOJ is targeting the Southern Poverty Law Center. The 55 year old civil rights organization has been charged with 11 counts of fraud.

Rep. Robert Garcia: "Unfortunately, I have to announce that Democratic members will not participating. This roundtable is not a real hearing. It's set up to appear like one. We should be clear about why that's happening. Last week, Pam Bondi skipped a legally required deposition ... "

Warren: "Why try to end independence of the Fed? Bc Trump's economic failures are causing him political problems, he wants the Fed to artificially juice the economy Having a sock puppet in charge of the Fed would also give the president access to the Fed's powerful authorities to enrich himself"

WARREN: That's not my question. Are you refusing to tell us if you have investments in vehicles set up by Jeffrey Epstein?

KEVIN WARSH: Those assets will be sold if I'm confirmed

GALLEGO: Earlier today, you told Sec. Kennedy that Trump never demanded you to cut interest rates. Is that your sworn testimony?

WARSH: That is, senator.

GALLEGO: Okay. Well someone here is lying then. Because Trump confirmed he pressed you on interest rate cuts.

ah yes, personal freedom, that thing that is always present IN THE MILITARY

A clip from The New York Times reads: "But only the entities that officially paid the tariffs are eligible to recover that money. That means that the fuller universe of people affected by Mr. Trump’s policies — including millions of Americans who paid higher prices for the products they bought — are not able to apply for direct relief. The extent to which consumers realize any gain hinges on whether businesses share the proceeds, something that few have publicly committed to do. Some have started to band together in class-action lawsuits in the hopes of receiving a payout."

The average American family paid $1,700 in tariffs last year, according to the bipartisan Congressional Joint Economic Committee. Few will ever see any of that money back. The refunds will go to companies, if doled out at all. What a joke.

Image of a Virginia Democrats' proposed congressional map that is drawn to elect a ten-to-one Democratic majority and flip four Republican seats in 2026. The district lines are displayed over top of a basemap with major roads and cities labeled. The districts are colored by the 2024 presidential winner's margin of victory, with Kamala Harris districts in blue and Donald Trump districts in red. Darker shades represent larger margins of victory. An embedded chart shows the 2024 presidential election results and the adult population racial demographics in each district. Kamala Harris won 10 of the 11 districts, while Black voters would retain their ability to elect their preferred candidates in Districts 3 and 4, which remain safely Democratic.

Virginia votes TODAY on a referendum that would enable Democrats to redraw the congressional map for 2026 in response to new Republican gerrymanders in other states.

The map targets 4 of 5 Republicans & aims to elect a 10-1 Dem majority.
