As I predicted last week, the GOP has filed a new lawsuit -- again in Tazewell County. At this point they are just helping increase my firm's court victory count for the cycle. So I guess I should say thanks.😂
After the state Supreme Court's order today, Virginia Democrats are now one referendum vote away from a 10-1 congressional map. I suspect the GOP is trying to figure out how to file a new lawsuit or concoct a theory for SCOTUS. Both will fail.
A big win! www.democracydocket.com/cases/virgin...

Putin's soldiers can't defeat Ukraine's warriors, so he is trying to freeze Ukrainian children in their apartments instead. Criminal.

We completely obliterated Iran’s nuclear program. It’s gone. Fake news will never admit this.
So anyway, we have to send hundreds of billions of dollars worth of equipment to the Middle East and have a major war to stop Iran from building nuclear weapons.

Any political party spreading lies about voter fraud as a pretext to make it harder for every one to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

Brutal new polling finds Trump's net approval is -16 — down 22 points from inauguration day.
Every authoritarian action he's taking must be understood against the backdrop of his declining popularity.
He feigns strength, but he's operating from a place of weakness.
