🚨 Virginia has APPROVED the amendment for congressional redistricting, @nbcnews.com projects. A victory for Democrats that will help them gain several House seats in the 2026 midterms.
I mean how much worse can things get
Passing the IRA, the CHIPS act, the Safer Communities Act is "sitting on their asses"? 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔
arlington voters when governor spook does a ballot initiative:
I will say about Clavicular that at least hes transparent that he uses steroids, TRT and weight loss drugs. That puts him above most Hollywood male muscle actors who also do this but lie about it (likely at the direction of studios). Hollywood is responsible for more body dysmorphia that that loser.

Most revealing poll ever for what the discourse chooses to obsess about
flipping through a proof of yet another book from a somewhat well known liberal voice diagnosing “where the left went wrong” and i’m struck, again, by the fact that a large part (if not most) of the liberal commentariat simply does not believe that the political right has agency.
nature occasionally red in tooth and claw but quite frequently just wants scritches
impossible to overstate how poisonous this shit is. dudes on the street smiling and waving at your toddler are an indicator of a happy and functional community
This reminds me of something I learned last week, the likely source of Steinbeck's "embarrassed millionaires" quote:
So I haven't had my coffee yet and I have two people telling me the Democrats have moved to the right over the last twenty years and I am begging people to stop listening to the dumb Gavin Newsom quote The Chat is raging about and actually look at what the party has been doing.
This is makes me happy
The future is here and it's bright
Every time a high profile account on here gets banned a bunch of people start posting about them like conservatives after Kirk got shot and then you find out why they were banned and it's always like "kept making death threats."
One of the weirdest things about Covid was that it was a collective mass experience -- that we all experienced largely on our own.
No two Covid's were the same.
Feminism is the radical notion that men are people
The comments here are a perfect example of Murc's Law: only Democrats have agency.
Repeat after me:
I am not sassier than Hillary Clinton.
I am not sassier than Al Pacino.
I am not sassier than Gerard Way.
I am not sassier than Sabrina Carpenter.
But if I stand back and watch and learn,
I will be sassier than I am.
This is "Biden cheated in 2020" but with a different coat of paint. It's a silly argument that needlessly undermines trust in what is all in all a very robust election system.
If people want to make an argument about winning a plurality vs. a majority of the popular vote that's all fine and dandy but that wasn't what's happening here.
He did win the popular vote in 2024 though?

Goated brunch!
Dungeon Crawler Carl is way better than it has any right to be
251 years ago this morning just before dawn, 19yo William Diamond beat the assembly on his drum to call the Lexington Company of Militia out to the town green to form up as a British column had been sighted
Diamond would fight through the whole war & have a family
I’m his g-g-g-g-grandson
Or it's a preemptive block before there was a prob.
