Virginia under Youngkin returned to an insanely harsh system where people convicted of any felony lose their voting rights FOR LIFE.
Dems' win this week mean they'll get to advance a constitutional amendment to end lifetime disenfranchisement.

Today, Members of Congress got their paycheck unless (as I did) they wrote a letter to the House saying to withhold the pay pending the shutdown.
Meanwhile, Congressional staffers went without pay today.
Every member should answer whether they took the paycheck while their staff got nothing.

I’d like to know who the judges here are, because Judge Ellis was clear that she wasn’t managing Bovino’s job, but being a neutral arbiter of the law.

Our health insurance is going up by a third this year, even though we’ve never received any of the subsidies that are expiring. More expensive insurance for poor people means more expensive insurance for all people.
