Among so many other problematic items in the proposed budget bill, there’s language that would ban CBD hemp products containing more than 0.4% THC, which essentially bans 95% of all hemp CBD products across the country. Rand Paul’s amendment strips this language from the bill. Call your Senator!

Southwest Virginia has the highest poverty rates in the state; when you decimate SNAP benefits and other safety net programs that so many in this part of Virginia especially depend on, people remember that.
Per @vpapupdates, the lowest turnout relative to the statewide average was heavily in SWVA (Buchanan, Bristol, Norton, Lee, Wise, Norton, etc). Also low turnout in Norfolk, Hampton, Newport News. High turnout in Goochland, Powhatan, Hanover, Nelson, etc. bluevirginia.us/2025/11/poli...

If you’re in line to vote, STAY IN LINE until you’ve voted. The law says you can’t be denied your vote if you’re in line when polls close.

Paramount and Bari Weiss aren't off to a great start. Here's why David Ellison should change course.

What we're witnessing with #Melissa is ultra rare in the history of known hurricanes in the Atlantic. This level of sustained intensity and feasting on every joule of ocean heat content without any real disruption is incredible.

When elected officials refuse to follow science, disasters like this happen. Coal belongs to the dustbin of history, not in any power plant operating in 2025. www.wtvr.com/news/local-n...
CSX train derails, sending 53 coal cars, 2 locomotives off tracks into wetlands in New Kent
CSX officials said Sunday that two locomotives and 53 cars carrying coal derailed into the wetlands around 3:10 p.m. between Roxbury and South Mountcastle roads.

Amid the climate crisis, politicians campaigning against bike lanes — as in Montreal municipal election campaign — aren’t fit for office.
