Still waiting for the District 34 VA HoD seat to be called by @apnews.com. I take it they are waiting for all of the ballots postmarked on election day to roll in.

We need 8 Republicans to call for the House Speaker seat to be vacated. Call your representatives. It's time for the House to come back and do their damn job.

I was expecting the gathering of the generals to be more sinister. Instead it's a fucking pep talk from the Fox News guy. I expect there may be some more off camera items that are going to be bend-the-knee type requests.

Israel is actively ethnic cleansing. This is disgusting. @kaine.senate.gov @markwarner.bsky.social @jameswalkinshaw.bsky.social

That doesn't mean that we have to keep up with the same standards that China does??? Also I thought that this guy believed that windmills stopped all wind 🤔
Trump: "We have the cleanest air we're had in many many years. But the problem is that other countries, like China, which has air that is a little bit rough, it blows and no matter what you're doing down here, the air up here tends to get very dirty."

Are we the baddies?

The United States government needs to consider the optics of these camps and how they are viewed by the rest of humanity. I want no association with deathcamps. It's bad enough that we are enabling genocide in Palestine.

Sens. Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock are asking Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem for answers after more than a dozen people died in immigration detention, as the department rushes to expand.

Unrestrained capitalism is a pathway to Feudalism. If you have ever played Monopoly, this is the end goal. Make it impossible for the other players to survive, take all of their money, and win. However, government plays a minimal role in Monopoly.

Was reviewing the Wiki page for mass shootings and came across this statistic. Seems like only women should be allowed to purchase firearms. "Women are too emotional" seems to be working out for them just fine.

I hope we can look to the model of NYCs mayoral election as a sign that democratic socialism is popular, and that traditional Democrat's will see how to respond to facism
I'm so grateful for Governor Hochul's support in unifying our party, her resolve in standing up to Trump, and her focus on making New York affordable. I look forward to the great work we will accomplish together.

Our movement is only growing stronger. Onward to November.
“Zohran Mamdani and I will both be fearless in confronting Donald Trump’s extreme agenda — with urgency, conviction, and the defiance that defines New York” writes Gov. Kathy Hochul.

The VA 11th district election went easily to James Walkinshaw last night. It was a special election, so I am cautiously optomistic that the gubernatorial elections in November will result in a more liberal result as well. Turnout was low, but there seems to be a lot more enthusiasm from D's!

Threatening CIVILIANS is absolutely disgusting.
This is frankly one of the worst things Donald Trump has ever posted, which is really saying something

Is it too little to ask for a HHS leader to have a degree in medicine or at least understand the scientific method?
Ossoff on RFK Jr: "Absolutely he should resign. And he never should've been confirmed to begin with... in any normal Senate, he never would've gotten so much as a hearing. This is someone who throughout his public life has embraced just about every piece of quackery & pseudoscience he's come across"

It's me! I'm the last one 😁
One of the best things about tattooing is that my beloved, diversely-skilled clients are also now my own army of Guys. Need a motorcycle mechanic? I got a Guy. Wedding flowers? You better believe I got a Guy. Aerospace electrical systems safety engineer? Oh yeah. I got one of those too.

my father-in-law is a “I know a guy” Guy. sadly all the old Guys are aging out of the Guy Economy. Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because it’s not about “winning” a deal, it’s about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy
