It’s inevitable that at some point, people get sick or injured. What isn’t inevitable is the sick and injured being unable to afford needed treatments. That’s a policy choice. I’m fighting to keep health care costs from surging, and I urge my colleagues to do the same.

When do you think Trump and Republicans will realize they drove up No Kings protest attendance by calling it a “hate America rally”?

Reminder: Winsome Earle-Sears either has no comprehension of any of this or is just flat-out lying about solar and wind. Either way, it should be automatically disqualifying. bluevirginia.us/2025/10/sund... h/t @janrosenow.bsky.social
Jan Rosenow: "We often forget how far we have come: ➡️ Today almost 50% of EU electricity generation is from renewable energy sources. ➡️ It is not long ago that fossil fuels dominated the EU's electricity mix. This year their share is approaching 1/4 of EU electricity generation."

I voted for Virginia to join Canada! What state will you vote for?
So, we heard a rumor that someone’s planning to annex Canada, eh? Well, two can play at that game! Why add a 51st state, when you can join Canada, eh?

At this point, we all know what Project 2025 is but do you know what Project 2026 is? That is the year that we FIRE all Republicans up for re-election and take back control of the House & the Senate. BUT in the interim we will make our voices heard, loud & strong!

Agreed!
A tweet from Melanie D'Arrigo reads: "If you're upset that immigrants know their rights, it means you were planning on violating their rights." Below the tweet is a screenshot from an article by The Daily Beast titled "Trump Border Czar Rages About Migrants Being Too 'Educated' About Rights in ICE Round-Ups." The article includes a quote: "They call it 'Know Your Rights.' I call it 'How to escape arrest,'" whined Tom Homan. The article is written by Liam Archarcki, a Breaking News Intern, and was published and last updated on January 28, 2025. Below the article screenshot is an image from a CNN broadcast titled "THE SOURCE" with the headline "FEDERAL AGENTS LAUNCH NATIONWIDE IMMIGRATION BLITZ" featuring Tom Homan, identified as President Trump's Border Czar, speaking on the show.

I have no idea whether this is related to bird flu or not but since no one's allowed to share any information with other agencies two kids dying of the flu in the state of Virginia is not nothing.
Two flu-related children deaths reported in Virginia, one in eastern region
Two children in Virginia have confirmed to have died in connection to influenza, more commonly referred to as the flu. One death was in Virginia’s Eastern Region.

UK Brexiteers
and every other follower of right-wing populist leaders
who deflect blame
away from the billionaires & their corrupt politicians
who create for poverty, hunger & homelessness
onto immigrants
(or blacks, women, disabled people)
please take note ...

The fact that the right convinced their base that Black people in the workplace didn't earn their position, when I've sat across from white co-workers who openly said things like "she was slobbering on my pole, 100% gobbled that pony down bro"

and it's like the vice president of the company

WIC. They are pausing WIC.

That's the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children. Last time I checked (a while ago), every dollar spent on WIC produced over a dollar in savings *in the same fiscal year.* For most people, though, feeding infants and mothers is enough.

Broader agreement that it to applies to discretionary spending payments (Head Start, WIC, etc).

Donald Trump backing the ethnic cleansing of Gaza didn't come from nowhere.

Israel has been plotting this from day one.

And the Western media overwhelmingly covered it up 👇
