STATEMENT: VIRGINIANS VOTE YES, RESHAPE THE FIGHT FOR THE U.S. HOUSE Richmond, Va. — Virginians for Fair Elections Campaign Manager Kéren Charles Dongo released the following statement after voters approved the redistricting referendum: "Tonight, Virginia voters chose to fight back against Trump's effort to rig congressional maps ahead of the 2026 midterms. In a special election with a single question and no statewide candidates on the ballot, millions of Virginians showed up — at levels that rival a general election — to defend fair representation. That is a remarkable statement about what was at stake. The impact is immediate. The new maps, passed by the General Assembly and signed by Governor Spanberger, will now be in effect. At a moment when Donald Trump directed Republican legislatures across the country to redraw their maps to lock in a House majority before voters had their say, Virginia just changed the battlefield. The path to retaking the U.S. House of Representatives is fundamentally different tonight because Virginians chose to act. This campaign was built in just five months — overcoming nearly $40 million spent on spreading MAGA lies and misinformation to confuse voters, navigating unprecedented legal challenges to stop Virginians from having a say, and asking voters to grapple with a complex issue for our democracy. But in the end, voters cut through the noise, made their voices heard, and voted YES. We are deeply grateful to every Virginian who voted, volunteered, donated, and stood up in this moment. Tonight belongs to them."

@chelles116.bsky.social this one’s just for you 😆

What the dysentery situation?

Every consumer good will be affected.

Truckers aren’t stopping at your local gas station.

I-95 in VA yesterday

There are only 2 other local teams in our age bracket, it’s for state games so just meant to be fun. But I live an hour away from the Wake Forest rink and all of our games are there.

Me: a local tournament, just for fun, cool. No stress.

Tournament organizers: how about the worst schedule possible at the one “local” rink the farthest from your house?

😂 I hate it here

Conversation synopsis:

Original post: why aren’t more kids goalies.

Me: it’s expensive. $1,500 for leg pads

Random people: buy used, your kid isn’t going to the NHL, stop getting your nails done and you could afford it, etc.

“Why not these” and they’re street hockey youth pads 😂

Promptly back to private. 😂

Life update. He has skates on.

But he’s completed his goal of being taller than me even without the skates. I am unsettled.

Was hopeful, then extremely annoyed.

And people are preparing for a snow event like they’ll never leave their homes again until spring

Let’s go Panthers!!!! #KeepPounding

Remains insane to me that in Iraq — in an active war — when encountering a potential hostile vehicle, we're told to wave/yell, use lights, fire warning shots at tires-engine-windshield last resort. But in Minnesota you just shoot into the driver window of a mom with your partner in the field of fire

I don’t need to *keep* watching it. It’s important to see. But the constant-ness of the videos being shared is where I have to stop.

Logging off the internet because while I appreciate and feel the outrage, I need to stop seeing the video.

Only if I also have the option to mix up the ice 😂

Hellebuyck better be On One for the Olympics because Otter is not the goalie people think he is. His positioning sucks

Dog walked Mikko and put the biscuit in the basket

The Diva could only play well wearing green so he had to go to Dallas

Seriously:
Paternal Grandmother: Italian
Paternal Grandfather: Irish, Canadian (probably) + a whole lot of questions
Maternal Grandmother: English, German, Austrian, Scandinavian
Paternal Grandfather: Italian, German, Native American, + a whole lot of questions

Laughs in 3rd/4th+ generation American.

All of the above and more ♥️♥️

Adulted way too much today: dentist, finish Christmas shopping, pickup lunch, oil change, let dogs out, take kid to open his own bank account, got form notarized and mailed at post office,

Yawn. 🥱

In this case, just ask yourself what would Fifty do, and do that 😜

Hurricanes.com

Give it a few more year and most of the IcePack players will have been coached by the Canes Alumni

I do appreciate that the alumni game is online and I don’t have to risk going outside for the approximately 47 snowflakes that have fallen and caused 2 days of school closures
