Stop Trump from Stealing Democratic Seats!

#VoteYesForVirginiaLive

In victory for Democrats, Virginia Supreme Court says redistricting vote can go forward Voters will get to decide on a proposed “10-1” map that could deliver four more Democratic seats in Congress.

(2/5) WHAT HAPPENED? Virginia lawmakers passed a constitutional amendment to redraw the state’s congressional map.

Although a lower court initially blocked the referendum following a Republican suit, the Virginia Supreme Court ruled that the special election could proceed.

Obama and Holder clarify their support for Virginia redistricting in new videos "Deceitful" and "racist" GOP ads untruthfully claimed that Obama opposed current redistricting efforts in Virginia.

NEW: Obama makes his clearest case for voting 'Yes' in Virginia redistricting special election, with former AG Eric Holder backing him up. The clarifications were needed as deceptive GOP-backed ads have untruthfully claimed that Obama opposes it.

Virginia Redistricting Referendum Results with 84% of vote Yes 1,310,977 50.26% No 1,272,195 49.74 A special election to determine if Virginia voters will change the state's constitution to allow for congressional redistricting that would likely shift four Republican-held seats to Democratic control.

He’s a complete moron.

He still hasn’t “won” Iran.

Someone give Pawpaw his meds and put him back to sleep.

The interesting thing about the current dynamic is that Trump said he would extend the ceasefire indefinitely, and Iran’s response was basically “fuck you, we’re winning”

They also threatened retaliation for any more vessels seized… which we just did.

Chief Justice’s Wife Made $10M+ as Legal Recruiter: Report At least one of the firms reportedly had a case before Chief Justice Roberts.

The corruption is just stunning.

Tesla saved $400 million on its federal taxes by shifting billions of its U.S. profits to countries with lower tax rates.

Yes: While you paid your taxes in full, giant corporations maneuvered to pay as little as possible — and it’s all perfectly legal for them.

The system is rigged.

Kash Patel and Pete Hegseth

So we're calling these guys the "Liquor Cabinet"?

As Trump’s lies get more egregious (and repetitive) I have at least noticed fewer mouth-breathing bootlickers willing to defend him in my comments.

And the administration is leaking about how he’s hurting negotiations and how they’re keeping him on the sidelines.

I’ll call that progress.

Ha ha we told you so

Translation:

This deal is about to be exactly like the JCPOA, minus Obama’s signature

The war on women has never stopped.

We’ve also gone from:

In a period of 3 hours. Incoherent psychobabble.

Ben Grimes * O @softreeds Following Remember when Dan Quayle misspelled "potato", and everyone was like "that's a good enough reason for him not to be president"? We should be like that again.

Calling David G!

Trump post on Truth Social: Iran decided to fire bullets yesterday in the Strait of Hormuz — A Total Violation of our Ceasefire Agreement! Many of them were aimed at a French Ship, and a Freighter from the United Kingdom. That wasn't nice, was it? My Representatives are going to Islamabad, Pakistan — They will be there tomorrow evening, for Negotiations. Iran recently announced that they were closing the Strait, which is strange, because our BLOCKADE has already closed it. They're helping us without knowing, and they are the ones that lose with the closed passage, $500 Million Dollars a day! The United States loses nothing. In fact, many Ships are headed, right now, to the U.S., Texas, Louisiana, and Alaska, to load up, compliments of the IRGC, always wanting to be "the tough guy!" We're offering a very fair and reasonable DEAL, and ! hope they take it because, if they don't, the United States is going to knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran. NO MORE MR. NICE GUY! They'll come down fast, they'll come down easy and, if they don't take the DEAL, it will be my Honor to do what has to be done, which should have been done to Iran, by other Presidents, for the last 47 years. IT'S TIME FOR THE IRAN KILLING MACHINE TO END! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Here we go again

There was a time when the president inspired pride instead of exhaustion. I miss that more than I can say.

As do I

Content warning.

This is John Abendshien, 79. He previously owned the Winnetka house where “Home Alone” was filmed.

He was just arrested & charged this week and charged on 7 counts of CSAM of children aged 4 to 15.

Once again. Not an immigrant. Not a drag queen. Not a Mexican. smh

Trump wakes up this morning attacking his long time supporters again.
