A No Kings protest sign in the form of a giant Wordle grid reading FELON THIEF LOSER CREEP FRAUD TRUMP Not entirely accurate in terms of gameplay but close enough.

Good one in NYC.

I agree. He's absolute slime. He lies as much as Trump does. How @cnn can keep someone who adds no value except spewing lies (is that value at all?) Is beyond me.

They should block them access to the local utilities if the area wasn't zoned for that use.

CNN: DHS officials have come to FEMA staff and told them to limit the use of the word ice…they are worried that by posting something like, watch out for the ice, that it's going to become a meme….

Wow

The night before Spanberger’s inauguration

She’s cleared house at UVA

Top Youngkin appointees resign

Spanberger should be able to easily replace them given Dem trifecta

The former CIA officer asserting her control

Unfortunately, no surprise here.

Time to boycott CBS. The new regime is beholden to Trump.

Exactly where are their headquarters?
Oh wait...we know
ARLINGTON CEMETERY

Pretty wild.

Graphic with voting information for the 12/14 VA Dem "firehouse primary" in HD77

Reminder: the HD77 (Richmond City 55%, Chesterfield County 45%) Democratic "firehouse primary" is TODAY, from 10 am to 6 pm, at the Richmond HS for the Arts and Providence Middle School. bluevirginia.us/2025/12/foll...

Add another name to the mix of potential Democratic US House candidates in Virginia next year - former Del. @wendygooditis.bsky.social (previously represented parts of Loudoun/Clarke/Frederick in the HoD). Hearing that she's livid about Medicaid/ACA cuts. Maybe VA06? Open seat?

Youngkin delusionally believes the VA GOV race was close until, supposedly, Senate Dems "engineered the government shutdown." Which is just bonkers and b s.

Youngkin is wildly delusional on top of being a pathological liar. Good f'ing riddance. bluevirginia.us/2025/12/frid... h/t @samshirazi.bsky.social

You're absolutely right, I believe he was trying to move incrementally in order not to be so blatant, find strong legal grounding, & build consensuses with people who weren't so radical to make decisions last.

With the court controlled by radicals, hes dropped all pretext & jumped on the bandwagon.

His lawyer would be incompetent if they didn't raise it as a defense.

I'd love to see Trump's reaction if a judge ruled that way.

Absolutely. All he needs to say is he was responding to Trump's call to protest the election. Very good chance the judge will dismiss the case.

Then Trump will attack the judge saying "my pardon only applied to maga terrorists" not anarchist terrorists."

When this criminal was jailed, the judge told David Gentile and America: ‘This is a warning to would-be fraudsters that seeking to get rich by taking advantage of investors gets you only a one-way ticket to jail.’ I guess not

VA Senate Majority Leader Scott Surovell tweets about the Virginia Supreme Court's refusal to review the petition for review filed in this case by GMU Rector Charles Stimson, etc.

"Supreme Court of Virginia has affirmed the Senate P&E Committees authority to reject gubernatorial nominations because MAGA rules don't work in Virginia where we still have a rule of law that Youngkin and Miyares have to follow" - @ssurovell.bsky.social

Meanwhile federal employees are working for free. Instead of coming to work to fix the problem, the people responsible for employees working for free are sitting home and collecting a $200k paycheck and great health insurance and retirement benefits.

The VA 8th Cong District Democrats stepped up to the plate to help Jay Jones since @cleanvirginia.org
decided to drop the ball by refusing to contribute a dime to the candidate they gave over $1 million in the primary.

It seems they're too busy funding Republicans in competetive House Districts.

the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes

That's silly. Mamdani is a charismatic politician and very popular in NYC, but he would be toxic in many congresssional districts that Jefferies needs to win next year.

It's a fun time at #NoKings

Especially with a war going on. These are not accidental violations during peace, they are deliberate provocations at a time of war.

“You’re going to be priced out of health insurance but EVERYONE GO BUY MY WATCH”

Portland frog responds after ICE pepper sprayed into his suit's airvent: "I kinda coughed a little, that's about as much as it did to me. Just a little peppermint taste. I've tasted spicier. I'm Mexican what do you expect."

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

The problem is it's difficult to respond to drones, they don't have the technology. Russia's is trying to demonstrate that they have the ability to strike them if they wish to deter them from ratcheting up aid to Ukraine. It is a dangerous game of escalation, but the Europeans shouldn't be detered.
