Of course, am calling all Kaine's D.C. office at 202-224-4024 (Richmond office at 804-771-2221). You should too.

This was orchestrated. @markwarner.bsky.social would've voted for it if he weren't up for election. Virginia's two "D" Senators aren't acting as if they realize Trump is fascist.

Either @schumer.senate.gov / @chuckschumer.com was complicit or unable to stop Senate Dem #SurrenderCaucus -- either way, he must go.

@kaine.senate.gov:

Virginia's voters (your constituents) made resoundingly clear that they want courage in standing up to Trump. Are you deaf?

Finding an elephant is hard.

Bully Trump is too cowardly (or just smart enough) to not take up Squad member challenges re intelligence testing.

PS: My thoughts with Senator Obama's election to be the next President back in November 2008:

Thank you, sincerely, for this -- never saw the painful inside story.

Perhaps the Catholic Church needs to include education on "how to apologize sincerely" in its seminaries.

Using "all who were hurt" moves this away from apology to excusing.

Trump explicitly admitted to selling pardons during the 60 Minutes interview and ... crickets.

During Trump 1.0, the issue was how many lies per day.

Trump 2.0? How many impeachable offences per day?

So, it seems that @katmabu.bsky.social can give you reason to respect and admire her in many ways.

Her thoughts reacting to fascist Trump indictment are worth the read.

1. Thank you.
2. What should we think about your Senate Dem colleagues who are voting for Despot Trump's election denial nominees -- even amid the shutdown?

And, in 2025, gold has having one of its best years.

Wonder what happened in January?

My response to @janetmills4me.bsky.social fundraising text (and to yet another bad @schumer.senate.gov #DSCC intervention in a primary):

No.
Just NO!

Excellent article with a glaring (especially for @data.ft.com @financialtimes.com ) gap: failure to discuss the huge (indirect) financial implications of batteries driving down # of peak price surges.

When it comes to Virginia Governors, Trumpkin Youngkin has the worst net approval on eve of election for his successor.

Yet another indicator of #BlueWaveVA 2025 electing future Governor @abigailspanberger.com

Why would an EV firm go out of their way to advertise on a #Sinclair station, ideologists fighting against anything that enables a clean energy future?

@scoutmotors.bsky.social should stop advertising on DC's WJLA (especially as it isn't broadcasting #Kimmel.

Putting aside the minor issues of 1A, human rights, the Rule of Law, note what appears to be a Federal judge’s lack of concern with Trump DOJ deceit when it comes to deporting Khalil.

Appeasement of, toadying up to, and soft-pedaling truth about bullies (and fascists) doesn’t work on the schoolyard, in Munich, with Trump nor Putin.

Example of how Apple’s weather app stinks … having experienced hours of heavy rain (with seriously soaked clothes), .35 inches seemed absurd. .75-1.5 inches is more like it.

Sad sign of times under fascist Trump:
