Jeffries threatening “maximum warfare” if Florida redistricts

Yes winning Prince William County early vote big

NOVA anger at DOGE has not gone away

Will continue to haunt Virginia GOP

Why the current "no" lead in Virginia's redistricting referendum is likely a mirage.

Prince William County combined EV:

Yes +28.3
Harris +23.6

Looks like a +5 or so margin win for YES

If there are caveats to VBNMW, you break the coalition.

The entire premise is that you settle this shit in primary season. If you chose not to, you are breaking the underlying trust.

And I don't think we're in a position to burn anymore trust between different wings of the coalition.

Were I a Dem super PAC, I would be very quietly putting 5ish million behind targeted persuasion and deep mobilization canvassing.

Happy Special Election Morning to all who celebrate.

the City of Falls Church starts the morning with 4,172 ballots cast in early voting for 37% turnout. We have been tracking closely with last Nov Gubernatorial. So this is a high turnout event. Could see 65 - 70% turnout

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.

We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.

Please stand by for more.

Hassett on a bailout for the UAE: "The UAE has been an incredibly valuable ally throughout this effort, and I'm sure the Treasury Secretary will make every effort to help them out should that be necessary"

It’s as if the Iran war was fought to sustain the Russian economy. Lifting sanctions for Russians does nothing for Americans. It just makes it easier for Russia to continue its war in Ukraine.

for an idea of how big a deal this is, my mom was in great shape when she got diagnosed and she lasted less than sixty days. six years is insane.

Ossoff: I don’t know if you saw, but JD Vance was in Georgia this week. Don’t worry—no one showed up. The stadium was empty.

Looks like a big day of early voting in Virginia

Hearing good turnout in rest of Virginia including in Loudoun

Little over an hour left to early vote!

We're close to the world's first-ever broad-spectrum antiviral. In a breakthrough, researchers at the City University of New York have identified a promising path to the development of an antiviral that could be used to fight a wide range of deadly viruses, including future pandemic threats.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have made a HUGE breakthrough towards a UNIVERSAL antiviral. By targeting sugar molecules found on the surface of many viruses that SHARE structural similarities, they identified FOUR compounds that successfully BLOCKED infections from SEVEN different viruses.

Linda Yaccarino replies to a Zohran Mamdani tweet to say that taxing rich people's penthouses is "actually one of the scariest things I have ever seen"

Zohran Mamdani said he's going to start taxing rich people who buy luxury housing in NYC but don't actually live in there, and the former CEO of Twitter/X called it "actually one of the scariest things I have ever seen."

Arguing the state has a legally cognizable interest in promoting the impregnation of children.

This is why I have no patience for Hasan Piker and his I wouldn’t vote for Newsom crap.

And, if Dems were to nominate someone from the Bernie/AOC wing, I’d have no patience for Third Way types complaining.

The anti-Trump vote must be united and overwhelming. No caveats.

I get that people will read point 1 and go “yes, people will have to rally around my preferred candidate.”

But it actually means exactly what it says. Whomever Democrats nominate, someone will have to hold their nose and vote for a person they didn’t want in the primaries.

Tough. Do it.

Two Lessons from Hungary for 2026 and 2028 Unity and accountability.

I think there are two key takeaways for Americans from Peter Magyar’s ouster of Orbán:

1. We must rally overwhelmingly behind the 2028 Dem nominee
2. We have to be ready to send people to prison if we win

Republican incumbents were wiped out in Whittier, CA amid backlash to ICE activity, as Democrats flipped the mayor’s office and both council seats on the ballot by 30+ point margins.

Democrat James Becerra, who has called for a more resistant stance toward ICE, led the sweep.

Another low-profile item was checked off the Project 2025 checklist recently. The Department of Transportation completed this action establishing new internal procedures to guide its rulemaking process. www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eo...

Peltola raises almost $9M in first three months of Senate bid The Democrat raised four times as much as GOP Sen. Dan Sullivan for the quarter in the key Senate race.

this is what the bottom falling out would look like

Opposition leader Péter Magyar at a rally.

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise.

He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media.

The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.

Perhaps Magyar's most important promise, and the one that certainly resonates with voters: "never again a country without consequences!"

The crowd chants: "To prison! To prison!" [with the corrupt officials of the outgoing government]

Interest in EVs surges in Europe as fuel prices jump after Iran war Demand at online marketplaces could settle at a new, higher normal, with the crisis leaving consumers ‘scarred’

The Strait of Hormuz crisis is doing something a decade of subsidies and mandates struggled to achieve:

making millions of people want an EV who previously discounted them.
