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?

You ever try to code switch at work and fail? 😂
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.
Incredible shots of the exchange between Rep. AOC and RFK, Jr. at today’s congressional hearing.

The Trump DOJ is made that the SPLC works to dismantle white supremacist hate groups because the Trump DOJ is a white supremacist hate group.

“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.”

Glad that @bostonward4dems.bsky.social voted tonight to endorse a YES on the gun safety, rent control, stipend reform, and public records ballot questions and a NO on the two budget-cutting ballot questions from the corporate lobby! #bospoli

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.
"Few approve of how Donald Trump is handling the cost of living" – Overall: 33-67 – Immigration: 40-59 – Iran: 32-67 – Economy: 30-70 – Cost of living: 23(!)-76 "The nationwide poll was conducted April 16-20, 2026 using the AmeriSpeak® Panel, the probability-based panel of NORC at the University of Chicago. Online and telephone interviews using landlines and cell phones were conducted with 2,596 adults. The overall margin of sampling error is +/- 3.4 percentage points."
There's no other way to say it: This AP-NORC poll is atrocious for Trump.
– Overall: 33-67
– Immigration: 40-59
– Iran: 32-67
– Economy: 30-70
– Cost of living: 23(!)-76
37% of Republicans disapprove of his handling of the economy, 47% disapprove on cost of living.

As a matter of principle, you can either have a dinner that celebrates the First Amendment or you can have a dinner that features Donald Trump. You can’t have both because the president holds the freedom of the press in contempt. www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...
