After the state Supreme Court's order today, Virginia Democrats are now one referendum vote away from a 10-1 congressional map. I suspect the GOP is trying to figure out how to file a new lawsuit or concoct a theory for SCOTUS. Both will fail.

A big win! www.democracydocket.com/cases/virgin...

Putin’s invaded, what, three times? Nothing Europe has done in the past has deterred Putin, and quite frankly, nothing we did in the past deterred Putin.

How many people believe he wants to take all of Ukraine? He wants it all. He’s not going to stop until somebody stops him.

Sounds a lot like the EU Defence Union that the UK spent decades blocking while it was a member of the union.

Rearmament would be a lot cheaper with such a union and would actually give Europe the capacity for autonomous defence, which the current NATO spending plans do not.

Russia backed both to shatter the West from the inside. It worked.

Whoa! Didn’t expect to wake up to this news.

“A year into Trump’s term, voters say Biden was better.”

Trump’s net approval on the economy is now -18. That’s 26 points worse than this point in his first term and a brutal 53 points lower among independents.
