What the boss of the house said

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!! 🗳️🗳️🗳️

The Lesson Every Democrat Should Learn From Peter Magyar's Victory In Hungary The cost of living crisis needs a villain.

Peter Magyar's victory in Hungary was fueled by a potent message tying the affordability crisis to the corruption of wealthy elites. With Trump presiding over unprecedented corruption and with prices skyrocketing, Democrats have the opportunity to replicate Magyar's success in November and beyond.

Tucker Carlson ‘sorry for misleading people’ with Trump support Pundit Tucker Carlson is expressing regret for voicing support for President Trump. Carlson, who has been a sharp critic of Trump’s war in Iran, said during a recent episode of his podcast an…

Tucker Carlson is not sorry, and yes, his former comments were intentional, and he knew it!

It's time to push back on all the wolves who are literally coming out to save themselves, their careers, and pushing something else (like
JD Vance).

Southern Poverty Law Center indicted on federal fraud charges by Alabama grand jury Justice department’s inquiry focused on the civil rights organization’s prior use of paid informants to monitor hate groups, the CEO said

The Trump regime doesn’t like the Southern Poverty Law Center labeling hate groups as hate groups, so it’s weaponizing the Justice Department to try to destroy the SPLC. This is DOJ taking the side of the Klan.

Justice Dept. Charges Prominent Civil Rights Group With Financial Crimes

The Justice Department on Tuesday charged the Southern Poverty Law Center, a civil rights group that has long tracked hate groups, with financial crimes, accusing the organization of fraud in secretly paying informants in extremist organizations.

Testing finds toxic metals where Tesla discharges wastewater The drainage district that commissioned the testing has sent a cease-and-desist letter to the company, which says it is in compliance with all requirements for its state wastewater discharge permit.

Okay, now I'm crying--a young Massachusetts native fell as he neared the finish line of the Boston Marathon. He tried to get up 3 times, falling back down to the pavement. One runner stopped and helped him to his feet, another joined, and he finished, arms over the shoulders of his two rescuers. 🥹💙

🚨🚨BREAKING: In a huge victory for Democrats that will greatly increase their odds of winning back the House in November, Virginia voters have APPROVED the redistricting referendum.

The world is embracing offshore wind — even as the US retreats Over 9 GW of new offshore wind projects came online last year. The sector is set to grow even more as nations in Europe and Asia seek out domestic clean…

American exceptionalism.

When I chose this silly name I thought it would make people laugh, I never expected it to confuse a vast subset of slack-jawed MAGA Republicans. I am NOT the actor Liam Neeson. Jesus you people are dumber than fucking landscaping rocks.

BREAKING: The YES vote will WIN Virginia’s redistricting referendum, allowing Democrats to redraw maps ahead of the midterms and potentially flip the state from 6–5 to 10–1 — a four-seat swing that could decide control of Congress.

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!!

Rep. Jim McGovern in a suit outside a government building. Overlaid text shows a question about Kash Patel’s drinking, followed by McGovern saying Patel was already a national security concern and a dangerous head of the FBI.

A sitting member of Congress called the head of the FBI a national security concern.

And he’s still in charge.

Remember, Democrats have repeatedly advanced measures to ban partisan gerrymandering and Republicans have voted against them time after time.

This is the game Republicans wanted to play. OK, then.

Oh noez! “Rhetorical hyperbole.” I’d bet the bourbon that this is the way his Patel’s lawsuit against the Atlantic goes as well.

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

This is what caused Trump’s meltdown tonight.

Virginia is for Lovers… of Democracy!!
Thank you!! 💙🇺🇸🗳️🎉

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.

Man is RFK Jr lucky that @aoc.bsky.social didn't actually kick his ass 👊

Starting a mid-decade redistricting war only to end up with -1 seats is the same fine strategic genius and subtle grasp of game theory that brough us the Strait of Hormuz.

Thank you, Virginia, for understanding the assignment!

Sincerely,

Sane Americans

#VoteYesVirginiaToday

Virginia voting FOR redistricting in favor of Democrats underscores how stupid Donald Trump was to start this redistricting war in Texas.

Much like Donald's poorly thought-out war in Iran, his gerrymandering war is BACKFIRING on him. What a sad, simple man.

Your government refusing to prosecute sexual predators, but protect them instead, only makes sense when you realize your government is being run by sexual predators.
