Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

Overnight, Trump and Republicans in Congress shut down the federal government.
They shut it down because they’re determined to strip healthcare from millions of Americans, to enrich the billionaires they serve, to continue the assault on our rights.
We must fight back.

To be clear: no one’s mad just because Kimmel was fired. People are mad because the chair of the FCC called for him to be fired, and then he was fired, and then the President of the United States called for more to come.
This is very very different than cancel culture.

Hypocrisy isn't limited to the right. Been warning you for a decade about calling for people that say hateful ignorant racist things to be fired. Hate speech is free speech and now you're finding that out because we're not in power anymore and those in power determine what's hate speech

Susan Collins has always, first and foremost, been a chump. A gullible half wit with a pretense of decency that she is always willing to shed at the flimsiest of pretexts. They didn't make her look like a chump. They merely showed her up for what she has always been.

Trump’s Cabinet Picks Have Made Republican Senators Look Like Chumps
RFK Jr., Pete Hegseth, and other Cabinet nominees assured senators such as Susan Collins that they wouldn’t act on their most controversial opinions. And yet, they’ve done just that.

So it's weird how @jonstewartdaily.bsky.social can spend 29 min. raging against the Trump administration and Paramount complying in advance, and then turn around and spend 16 min. polishing the balls of the guy who cancelled the LA Times endorsement of Harris and fired the entire editorial staff.

Collins has broken with Trump in the past, but so far has been unwilling to use the full power of her committee
