New VA governor Spanberger announced the state will be rejoining the RGGI, a multi-state effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Youngkin, of course, being a GOP toady, hated it and withdrew. Now we're back in. Look up RGGI on Wikipedia. It's good.

No one, including me, knows what Democrats would do if they won the House and/or Senate. Additionally, everyone who is currently alive now sees that they aren't doing anything now. Unsurprising that people hate them. I'm surprised that they are 2 points ahead the fascists in the generic ballot poll.

While the landscape is certainly different, Bluesky turns -2- on February 6, 2026. (Public launch date).
It has 42 million users.

Bluesky has actually been remarkably successful as an app within a relatively short time frame. Expecting it to have the same metrics as some of the biggest apps in the world is stupid. What really matters is having content that people care about, especially if it travels outside the platform itself

I actually think running a sustained "grocery prices too high" campaign is smart and good politics but the way a lot of Dems are doing it - posting like "Trump promised to lower grocery prices but he let us down!" is specifically not effective
