Rob Wittman, Jen Kiggans, Ben Cline and the crazy weirdo whose name I can never remember all have spent their time in Congress protecting Trump instead of standing up for their Virginia constituents under attack. On Tuesday you can vote YES and bring them all home together. BYE!
The acquiescence to the racism is why all your other shit is broken.
Some of the story is unsaid...
DOGE is still working to destroy the federal civil service and grant funded jobs. Trump appointees have made it clear that the preferential hiring of white people into federal jobs, regardless of qualifications, is their Jim Crow priority. DC locals suffer as a result.

My history book wasn’t as detailed or entertaining as this here:

Oliver Darcy is reporting that Paramount will host Brendon Carr. If the legacy media had any self-respect they would cancel or boycott this dinner. But they don't. That is why you need to support independent media.

Jeffries on Kash Patel: "We have to stop putting all the blame on the people who nominated this incompetent, toxic, malignant individual. What about the people who confirmed him? It's extraordinary to me that Senate Republican confirmed people like Noem, Bondi, Hegseth, RFK Jr, and Patel."
