There's a House GOP Anti-Sharia Caucus, and #VA-05's John McGuire is in it. open.substack.com/pub/watchman...

John McGuire is either a coward or a monster "A whole civilization will die tonight."

My congressman is either wicked or afraid of Trump.

Of course. It has “chick” right there in the name!

Charlottesville woman who lost VA benefits may get help from Congress - Cville Right Now Jemel Snyder said that, without her in-home nursing team, her only option for care this week was to go to the UVA Health emergency room Thursday.

Props to Rep, John McGuire of #VA05 for helping this woman. But she’s only in this position because of cuts he voted for.

Charlottesville, if you're wondering what the deal was with that statue of Trump and Epstein that appeared briefly on the Downtown Mall last week, I've got the inside scoop in this week's @cvilleweekly.bsky.social.

Give the Post a break. It ain’t easy sucking up to the president! What are they supposed to do, disagree with him? Q

In his defense, it was a really cool map.

My congressman wants you to think Ban the Box laws made the ODU shooting possible. That's horseshit.

Are you ready for the March 28 #NoKings? Grab your friends, family, & neighbors and check out these important trainings (nokings.org/trainings - link in bio) so you know your rights & can confidently talk to anyone about our movement!

It’s not just that Trump weakened our counterterrorism efforts. He’s ready to seize more power when there’s a major attack.

Philosopher comics.

His way sounds like one of the regulars at your local dive bar. "Sipowicz was there tonight, and Groob... oh and Bloosky."

I felt a little nuts writing this post. But I think all three things are undeniably true, and I don't like what happens when they converge.

Wait what’s a nuclear blackmail scenario of conventional missiles?

NEW: I just learned that the PAC behind the controversial mailers invoking civil rights imagery in Virginia’s redistricting referendum fight is led by former Del. A.C. Cordoza, according to the group’s treasurer.

He sent me the statement below:

Those of us in #VA-05 will see your Cline and raise you a McGuire.

Tax breaks are meant to grow and develop an industry. Not last forever.

Data centers are doing fine. We need to invest those dollars into people and into the broader economy.

That’s how we get broad based prosperity and a more dynamic economy.

My latest post on my MAGA congressman, John McGuire from #VA-05. open.substack.com/pub/watchman...

John McGuire, disenfranchising his own voters The SAVE Act will make it harder to vote for tens of thousands of people in VA-05.

My latest post on Substack: John McGuire's support for the SAVE Act will make voting harder for more than 50,000 of his own constituents. (And no, that's not him in the photo; that's an AI-gen guy who doesn't resemble Butt-head nearly as much as McGuire does.)

The silence of my congressman, John McGuire from #VA-05, is both baffling and infuriating. His staff is telling callers they haven't talked to him about the violence in Minnesota. Meanwhile, he fou8nd time to propose a tax break for people who sell vacation homes. open.substack.com/pub/watchman...

This has been the plan all along.
- Foment violence and chaos in the streets of MN
- Implement the Insurrection Act
- Declare Martial Law
- Suspend elections

But the bill will help so many people! To qualify you just have to:
- be at least 65
- sell your home for $500,000 or less
- sell to a first-time buyer
- either be selling your 2nd home or make so much profit that the existing $250k/$500K cap gains exemption doesn't apply to you.
Huge numbers. Huge!

Just last night I was working on a whole piece about this for my Substack, but you made the point better in two sentences that I did in my entire draft.

Yeah. I’ve wondered if Periello got in the race because pollsters and money people are seeing better odds. Maybe they’re hanging their hats on redistricting. Or just believe in good old-fashioned competing even in the hard districts.

What’s your take on VA-05, assuming no redistricting? McGuire won by 15 in 2024, Earle-Sears by 8. Still a comfortable margin for the GOP or no?

Sam what are you hearing about the timing of the districting? A public referendum can’t happen before April 15, and the primary filing deadline is April 2. How would that work?
