I just finished writing my reflections on tonight's big win in Virginia. I've been fighting this fight for ten years, including three cases in SCOTUS. Tonight we won a big one at the ballot box.

I’m glad that blue states are finally playing by the same rules as red states. There’s no reason to “play nice” or whatever. Republicans won’t

Trump LOSES again. The YES vote has won in Virginia, allowing Democrats to redraw congressional maps. In a huge FAFO story, this was all started by the corrupt, serial lying psychopath trying to rig the 2026 midterm elections by demanding red states gerrymander their districts.

Democrats did not want to do any mid-decade redistricting. It was Trump who started it in June 2025 with a phone call to Greg Abbott after more special election losses. Dems warned they’d respond. But Texas did it anyway - without the consent of the voters. Then Dems responded.

Congratulations Virginia!! Yes Passes!!! Virginia will redistrict.

I am glad this passed but there is something wrong with these numbers. These numbers do NOT follow the trend we have seen in the last year of elections shifting 10 points to the left. Something stinks here.

Follow the money, too. You don’t create a modeling/escort/sex trafficking network without it. Whose names are on the bank records? Epstein & Who else?

Our Idiot President “Can’t Even Surrender Right” We will get the worst possible result from the least-worst choice.

The faster something fails, the cheaper the cost of the failure. The slower it fails, the harder it is to cut your losses. The same dynamic applies to the Iran war.

They’re taking it well.

You can have no rage, Republicans, when you lit the fuse.

You just got outplayed

Spent Saturday with President Obama and New York's Cutest — turns out my first name is Mayor and I need to be doing more squats. 

Here’s to building a City where families can thrive and every classroom is full of this much joy.

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.

A bunch of fucking people on the right are crying tonight about the results in Virginia. Y’all should take a moment and call your buddies who are the governor of Texas and Donald Trump. You’re a bunch of fucking losers. The voters have spoken. Unlike TX. Fuck around and find out.

Testing finds toxic metals where Tesla discharges wastewater The drainage district that commissioned the testing has sent a cease-and-desist letter to the company, which says it is in compliance with all requirements for its state wastewater discharge permit.

I’m shocked. www.texastribune.org/2026/04/21/t...

A smiling Cory Mills walks alongside four other men in suits

Three scandal-plagued members of Congress have resigned in the past eight days. Florida Republican Rep. Cory Mills remains defiant.

In case you need a refresher, here's what Mills has been accused of. 🧵

Fairfax county starting to come it. Yes is winning there 75 to 25 with about 350K votes yet to be counted. That puts Yes up by about 240K conservatively. Still a nail biter, but a win is a win. LFG!

Federal Grand Jury Charges Southern Poverty Law Center for Wire Fraud, False Statements, and Conspiracy to Commit Money Laundering A Grand Jury in Montgomery, Alabama, today returned an indictment charging the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) with 11 counts of wire fraud, false statements to a federally insured bank, and conspi...

According the AG Blanche, “The SPLC is manufacturing racism to justify its existence.” This is some whacked out far-right fantasy. Hard to imagine this theory will hold up in court, but the lives of paid informants who infiltrated hate groups will be at risk.
