“Virginia plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss
The redistricting scheme was always a power grab by Democrats. Voters went along with it.”
Dear @washingtonpost.com editorial board:
Drop dead.
Sincerely,
Virginia voters
Dan Schulman is the new CEO of Verizon and he is predicting 20 to 30% unemployment within the next 2 to 5 years due to AI.
Not a typo. He thinks 1/3 of people currently employed will lose their jobs by 2030.
Thanks! Fwiw I have a longer look at the recent history, viewed through the lens of the Senate filibuster flux.community/matthew-shef...
Trump thought he could steal the midterms by making MAGA minions rig the House maps.
They thought blue states would sit back and do nothing.
We proved them wrong. Thank you to VA Indivisibles and organizers across the commonwealth for this huge win and your commitment to protecting our democracy.
The DOJ was created to increase the capacity for federal prosecutions during Reconstruction esp. those to be brought under the newly enacted KuKlux Klan Act.
Now the DOJ is being used to prosecute a storied civil rights organization whose central mission has been to expose & dismantle the Klan.
President Trump is said to be in talks to send Afghans who helped the U.S. war effort to the Democratic Republic of Congo.

LEAKED MEMOS show how Chief Justice Roberts pressured other justices to lean heavily in favor of the oil and gas industry to kneecap a major EPA climate-change regulation—even as the court’s liberal justices warned it was an unprecedented, unjustified expansion of the court’s powers. trib.al/RQMIP47
The annoying Gen X critic in me resents that The Onion has pivoted to feel-good clapter but I’m also okay with the story of Ben Collins leaving NBC to troll a cartoonish supervillain told to the guy who left ESPN to expose rich peoples’ bullshit

Never say Mets fans don't have a sense of humor.
If Devin Williams blows this and the Mets lose again, the resulting heat from Queens will by itself solve the gas crisis for a decade
as it becomes clear that Yes has won in VA and gerrymandering will pass, a message to Republican voters:
you brought this on yourselves
you convinced the most fairness-obsessed, That Wouldn’t Be Fair-minded voters in the country to affirmatively vote to put you in the dumpster
you earned this

legal: whatever it was Epstein and his friends were up to
illegal: reporting on extremist groups to stop mass shootings
Well, I’m not shocked. Did he know Epstein?
Other countries are jailing everyone connected to Epstein and somehow we’re still promoting his friends to higher government positions
We're only seeing a fraction of Trump's actual corruption. Why? The rest is "classified.” #Epstein open.substack.com/pub/defiance...
Oops-Howard #Lutnik commerce secretary set to make millions on #tariff #refunds in another #Trump corruption scam. Oh and he DID go to #Epstein Island.

Screenshot of a tweet by Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) showing an exchange where a reporter asks Trump how much longer Americans will face high gas prices, Trump responds they're "not very high," is told prices are still $4 a gallon, and replies that's what ABC says but "the stock market is up" and "everything is doing really well." The embedded video shows Trump speaking on the White House lawn, with a breaking news chyron reading "Trump: Iran Cannot Have Nuclear Weapon."
He can't lie his way out of this one.
