Good morning from suburban Richmond!
Wow! Great reporting by @wittmanwatch.bsky.social, detailing the many ways Rep. Wittman has betrayed the citizens of Virginia’s first district.
Electoral College cartogram showing which states are in the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact and which ones could join in time for it to activate by 2028. Each state is sized and labeled according to its number of electoral votes. The states are spaced out enough to accommodate the changes in size but retain their general shapes and relative positions on the map. Current members are in solid orange, potential members are in light green, and nonmembers that are unlikely to join are in medium gray. Members have 222 electoral votes, potential states have 68, and the unlikely states have 248. The compact would only activate once states with at least 270 electoral votes have joined. The seven potential members and their electoral vote are Alaska (3), Arizona (11), Michigan (15), Nevada (6), New Hampshire (4), Pennsylvania (19), and Wisconsin (10). Democrats would need to gain the governor's office and/or legislative chambers to win unified power in these states, as detailed in the spreadsheet linked in this post.
NEW: Virginia just passed a law to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, giving it 222 of 270 electoral votes needed to activate.
This map and spreadsheet show which states could join to activate it by 2028 depending on the outcome of the 2026 elections docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

No, I’m fired up and ready to fight this murderous lunatic and his corrupt regime with all I’ve got.
Section four authorizes the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet, or the vice president and a majority of an "other body" created by Congress, to declare a president "unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office." Doing so would elevate the vice president to acting president.
Call all your reps now. We will not tolerate threats of mass genocide. Trump is mentally, emotionally, and morally unfit for office and is an immediate danger to humanity.
It's time to invoke the 25th Amendment and to pass a War Powers resolution *today*. Congress CAN constrain Trump's madness.
Wittman represents us. Do you want America to commit war crimes, genocide, and such horrors that our nation will NEVER recover? Then call Wittman - NOW!

#Virginia, have you voted yet? Have you signed up to write postcards or canvas your neighbors? This is our best chance to stop Trump from rigging our next election. #Redistricting
Bumping this must-see!
One takeaway (of many):
Funding the renovation of Our White House’s East Wing with private money is a bribe.
