Pretty shocking that northern Virginia would break so heavily against Republicans.

Sure, hundreds of thousands of people there saw themselves, their loved ones, or their friends saw their careers and livelihoods turned upside down by Elon and his DOGE boys.

But where's their bipartisan decorum?

The national GOP tomorrow could easily pass a bill that bans gerrymandering and mandates competitive maps, but they won't. Instead they'll just lean into grievance and self-victimhood.

What went wrong in Israel? A genocide scholar examines ‘what Zionism became’ In his new book, Omer Bartov tracks how a liberatory strand of Zionism transformed into an extremist ideology that he sees as responsible for genocide in Gaza

“People were sitting around, having fun, living a normal life, while there was genocide happening down the road. And I just couldn’t take that, because when you’re there, you’re complicit. You can’t help it. It doesn’t matter what you think.”

Virginia Passes New House Map in a Midterm Victory for Democrats

Glad to see it. An important thing to remember in these redistricting fights is that nothing would be happening if TX didn’t start and that Democrats, unlike Republicans, give the decision to the voters.

In both foreign policy and economic policy, the core belief of Trumpism is that there is some button one can press to instantly and easily solve any problem, and every political leader this country has ever had was simply too cowardly to press it. That’s it.
