I don't see how ICE murdering U.S. citizens in Minneapolis helps Mike Johnson hold onto his gavel in November. Am I missing something? I think it's great if he hands it to Jeffries, I just don't see WHY the House GOP wants to walk off the cliff.

Part of the danger from the winter storm is people doing dangerous things that they don't have to do. This can be trying to cut down a tree that falls on you, or driving/walking on ice, or heating home by burning something indoors. Be careful, and don't die trying to save yourself!

Well, Trump stumbled in Court because he had no legal grounds for what he tried to do. The usual. Virginians paid for 2600 megawatts of power and we have the right to get what we bought.
President Trump's bid to block offshore wind projects has stumbled in court. Here's what to know.
Can Wind Power Survive Trump’s Efforts Against It?
US President Donald Trump has aggressively sought to thwart the wind power industry. Within hours of returning to the White House in 2025, Trump issued a directive that froze new permitting for wind energy and ordered officials to consider terminating existing leases.

We have already paid for much of this work and Virginians need those 2600 megawatts @kaine.senate.gov. Our President had no right to interfere on made-up grounds. Thank you for supporting CVOW.
Today, I toured the Portsmouth Marine Terminal and was updated on the progress made on the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project. This incredible project will bolster offshore wind in VA, lower costs, and grow the local economy.

The Interior Department said pausing construction of offshore wind farms would allow the government agencies to work with project developers to mitigate potential risks. But wind companies say the administration isn't sharing information about newly-discovered threats. n.pr/4qt8mA9
Trump administration claims offshore wind poses a threat. But it won't say how.

This admin refuses to do anything to lower your health care costs, but found $75 billion for ICE… so agents can break down the doors of American citizens’ homes and drag them, barely clothed, through the snow. That’s not an exaggeration. That happened this weekend in Minnesota.

When your mouth says one thing, and your actions say another.
As Bill Gates recommends a “strategic pivot” away from climate change, the Gates Foundation made record investments in fossil fuel companies in 2024, despite its 2019 pledge to divest.
No one should ever listen to Gates about climate change again.

Utility efforts to undermine rooftop solar meet stiff opposition from Virginia customers
Photo courtesy of Solarize Blacksburg Virginia’s investor-owned utilities thought 2025 would be the year they put an end to net metering – and with it, rooftop solar installers’ modest competition with their monopoly.. The 2020 Virginia Clean Economy Act (VCEA) removed many barriers that residents and businesses installing solar panels under the state’s net metering law had faced, but it also called for the State Corporation Commission to reevaluate the program, beginning right about now.

Here in Virginia we are struggling to deal with our skyrocketing electricity rates from data centers. Meanwhile our electric utility is trying to end rooftop solar that gives some of us a way to manage our costs. Unacceptable. #VASolar
Dominion’s at it again, trying to jack up our bills and gut rooftop solar in Virginia. Net metering lets families get fair credit for the solar power they generate. Speak up for affordable, clean energy for all Virginians. Sign on now: ccan.link/netmetering

Not clear on what we gain from a third impeachment, if zero Republican Senators would be willing to convict Trump in an impeachment trial so all we get is ignorant voters sympathizing with a man who deserves no sympathy.
The idea that Democrats can only approach impeachment when they have congressional majorities is very stupid. Impeaching Trump should be their main argument.

Well, yes. The November election can take the gavel out of Johnson's hand, but only if the Dems run candidates who are appropriate for the districts/States. That's how Spanberger totally dominated in Virginia; by being focused and moderate.
The posters asserting that Democrats should move more left ignore polling results like these to our detriment.
As usual, more Americans in 2025 described their views as ‘very conservative’ or ‘conservative’ (35%) than as ‘very liberal’ or ‘liberal’ (28%), with 33% identifying as ‘moderate.’ […]

We are in a frightening place now in the USA. We are now seeing that Trump is completely out of control on Greenland, and that his Cabinet and the Congressional Republicans are mostly unwilling to even criticize him on it. All tyranny requires is legislator support- now it has it.

Please stop fighting for another impeachment trial. We did that twice for Don already and both times it just helped his approval ratings due to sympathy from ignorant people. The GOP votes to convict are not there in the Senate. Focus on winning the House in November. Take gavel from Johnson.

Indeed. "The ice is melting so we must dig up the rare earths" nope, it's about #climatechange, Don. The thing you don't believe exists.

Ha yeah I see that constantly. Data centers, wildfires, Venezuelan oil, Greenland ice melt, home insurance, food inflation- can't understand any of that without talking #climatechange yet we do it every day. Sad how hard we run away from the real.

Abigail Spanberger will become Virginia's first female Governor tomorrow and I will be there. She is already making a mark by demanding 5 resignations from University of Virginia Board members appointed by her predecessor. Good move. We must end the culture war against academic diversity.

The NYT analyzed the video and has proved that the ICE shooter of Renee Good was never in any danger and was not injured. His final two shots were very clearly fired after he was no longer in front of the vehicle, so was in zero danger of injury.

In fact I think Trump may have decided that he will just run a few distractions every week so that Bondi can continue to ignore the Congressional order to release all the files @markwarner.bsky.social
BTW, they still haven’t fulfilled their promise to release all the Epstein Files.
