baseball crank's problem isn't that the process is bad, it is that he doesn't like the result

it is very funny how these people are so accustomed to essentially bullying democratic politicians that they meltdown when met with appropriate pushback.

in any case, the process to amend the virginia constitution has multiple stages where, at any point, an amendment can be defeated.

If Republicans hate the CA and VA redistricting, they can thank the person responsible - Donald J. Trump.

None of it would’ve been possible without his leadership on this issue.

So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out

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.

COVEY: “.. under the new map, Democrats are favored in 10 of the state’s 11 seats, leaving just one deep red district in southwest Virginia ..”

Magyar invites Netanyahu, but would enforce ICC arrest warrant Magyar invites Netanyahu, but would enforce ICC arrest warrant

Hungary will rejoin the ICC and enforce its arrest warrants, including against Benjamin Netanyahu, if he enters Hungary, says President-elect Peter Magyar.

After Orbán spent years shielding Netanyahu from the ICC…Hungary’s new PM Péter Magyar says he will arrest Netanyahu if he visits Budapest.

Magyar is reversing course on day one. Hungary stays in the ICC. The warrant gets enforced. Period. 👏👏

Hungary must arrest Netanyahu if he visits, Magyar says Israeli PM Netanyahu, wanted by the International Criminal Court, is due to visit Hungary later this year.

Hungary must arrest Netanyahu if he visits, Magyar says

Netanyahu claimed last week that Magyar invited him to Hungary.

Today Magyar said that Netanyahu will be arrested if he enters Hungary:

“I made it clear to the Israeli PM — we will not back down... If a state is an ICC member and a person who is wanted enters that territory, they must be detained”

Thank you, Virginia, for understanding the assignment!

Sincerely,

Sane Americans

BREAKING:

WASHINGTON (AP) — Virginia voters approve new US House districts that could aid Democrats in midterm elections.

YAY VIRGINIA!!!

It’s official - VICTORY in Virginia as voters approve new redistricting plan with a 10-1 Democratic advantage

This could mean up to FOUR more seats for Dems in House this November

Mike Johnson, consider yourself on notice - the American people are about to FIRE you

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.

GOP - *gerrymanders*

DEMS - hey stop that no fair

GOP - *gerrymanders even more*

DEMS - we mean it we’re gonna sue

SCOTUS - *legalizes gerrymandering completely*

DEMS - *start gerrymandering*

GOP - HEY STOP THAT NO FAIR!!!! 😭

Virginia voters just sent a clear rebuke of Trump's attempt to dismantle free and fair elections in the state—a powerful show of democracy in action.

AP CALLED IT ..YES ON VOTE IN VIRGINIA

Virginia voters approve Democrats' redistricting plan, giving the party a midterm election boost NBC News projects Democrats will be able to enact a new proposed map designed to net them up to four seats, as they push for control of the narrowly divided House.

NEW — Virginia voters APPROVE the redistricting amendment, setting up a major Democratic gerrymander.

Four U.S. House seats now expected to flip from red to blue in 2026, reshaping the national map overnight.

Republicans are now likely to respond quickly in Florida.

Texas redistricts without a vote, Republicans cheer.

Dems in Virginia respond by putting it UP FOR A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE, it passes, Republican cry foul.

Oh well. Good job Virginia!!

Trump’s met his match in Iran, they know it, he knows it. Stable genius has backed himself into a corner. He has few cards, he can’t bomb them further & send oil to $200 bucks a barrel any easier than he can force them to open Strait. He’s f*cked & the whole world see’s his hand.

I asked X, Paramount, ABC, and Meta where their donations to Trump's Presidential Library went. None of them could give a clear answer.

Tens of MILLIONS of dollars are missing.

Why should Americans trust that this money isn’t going straight into Donald Trump’s pockets?

Correct.

My dad sent me this pic earlier today. He proudly walked into his Fairfax precinct and cast his #VoteYESVirginiaToday ballot because he believes in democracy and he thinks Trump is the most corrupt president in American history. Thanks Pop, for using your voice!! 🗳️🗳️🗳️
