Beyond proud that Virginia is now represented in the Capitol by Barbara Rose Johns, a trailblazer who led protests against conditions in her school that helped end segregation in the U.S.

Trump used a prime-time address—normally reserved for national emergencies—for lies, grievance, and division. No empathy. No plan. Just 18 minutes of noise. If only I could get that time back.

For 20 minutes, Americans watched Donald Trump address the nation, “drenched in pure panic as he tried to bully an entire nation into admitting he’s doing a great job,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues:
This Is What Presidential Panic Looks Like
Donald Trump delivered a fear-drenched rant live from the White House.

Setting aside for a second the lunacy and authoritarianism surrounding the Trump/Hegseth threat to court martial Mark Kelly, it is also politically moronic. No military court or jury would uphold this, and you only do Kelly a tremendous favor by making him more popular than ever.

In case you missed this, the BBC edited a historian's speech about Trump to remove the claim that he's "the most openly corrupt president in US history." This came after Trump had threatened a $1 billion lawsuit.

Elite capitulation continues.

Read all about it here:

Trump Angrily Threatened to Sue BBC. Then Things Took a Darker Turn.
First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

Mark Kelly: "My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others."

Earlier this morning, President Trump threatened me and a group of service and veteran Members of Congress with arrest, trial, and death by hanging.

We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community.

The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution.

I just signed the Election Rigging Response Act to put Proposition 50 up for a vote on November 4th.

The people of California will have the power to push back against Texas and any other state that obeys Donald Trump's demand to rig the next election.

Yes, I think there should be far more discussion about whether the reason for the White House going into full Cabinet level battle mode over Maxwell is that she is blackmailing Trump, and that Trump may now be officially compromised.

Maybe the kompromat Putin had on Trump all along was some form of the Epstein files. We've always wondered what could Putin have on Trump? Why did Trump always bend the knee? Perhaps we are learning, now.

Being against mail-in ballots is being against our Troops’ right to vote. For generations, we have cast ballots by mail, dating back to the Civil War.

Denying that right is a betrayal of service, and yet another way Trump disrespects those who serve.

BREAKING: Trump tells Hannity that “smart guy” Vladimir Putin told him our mail-in voting is causing our elections to be RIGGED.

FACT: Putin rigs Russians elections by threatening and trying to kill his opponents, along with other things.

Trump is taking this guy’s advice. MORON!
