As a son of Appalachia, I understand the opioid crisis better than anyone. That's why I'm proud to stand with the Honduran president who delivered drugs to needy Americans with such efficiency.

This is so so disturbing. Trump is now pardoning January 6th rioters for unrelated crimes, just to reward them for their violence to keep him in power.

The Republican Party is in the full time business of endorsing and incentivizing political violence. So scary.

It’s wild that you can just openly bribe the President of the United States with chunks of gold to get
whatever you want, it’s fine, you don’t have to hide it, just say “I am bribing the President with gold,” zero consequences.

The Cville Dems are always neutral in primaries, but we are happy to pass along information about all of the candidates.
I'm Jason Reynolds and I plan to run in the Virginia primary for the US Senate seat held by @markwarner.bsky.social next year. I don't really have anything against Senator Warner, I've even voted for him (and will again if he beats me next year). I just like the idea of giving people a choice.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

The weirdest thing about modern politics, is this thing where if people found out their favorite politician were secretly having sex with turkeys, they wouldn't say "he's bad" but just, "this sort of thing is really going to give ammunition to those people who said he was a turkey-fucker."
