@kaine.senate.gov @markwarner.bsky.social please urge HHS and the White House to seat the NPP Advisory Council ASAP, and set an aggressive meeting schedule in 2026 for the Council to develop the plan.

Spot-on by @editorialboard.bsky.social: "...if you're a liberal, there is no alternative political party. The Democrats are what you have. Yes, there are minor parties, but they only matter when they work in tandem with the Dems." bluevirginia.us/2025/12/tues...

ICE doesn't leave. 14 people were kidnapped in in SoCal yesterday. Westminster HD was raided three times in one day. Don't think that just because LA isn't in the news, that the state terrorizing neighborhoods isn't still happening. Chicago is the same. So is Charlotte.

Soon small businesses won’t have to wait for Small Business Saturday to get attention from their Mayor. Some changes that they can look forward to:

Sen. Tim Kaine on Trump’s Pardon of Fmr. Honduran President Who Brought Over 400 Tons of Cocaine Into US: “This is a disgusting and incomprehensible decision…” ("And Trump claims he's trying to fight narco-trafficking?" Riiiiight.) bluevirginia.us/2025/11/sen-...

No assertion from this administration should be presented as fact unless independently verified

The past decade has seen grave threats and unmistakable decline. But the past few days and weeks reveal that we have entered in a new and more perilous chapter here in the U.S. It must be a call to a new kind of action. My latest. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

Garry Kasparov on the Ukraine "piece" plan. www.thenextmove.org/p/diplomacy-...

Regular reminder that Axios stories saying Dems are about to cave are likely sourced from GOP staffers trying to make it happen. Doesn't mean it definitely won't happen. But it's like those NYT stories that Harvard is considering caving (they haven't). The anonymous source was trying to manifest it.

Folks, we need to have a little Civics #101 chat, because apparently the media no longer seems fit to explain to you whats happening. So quick review: The House passed a clean CR. The senate has not passed anything.

hey you want to take a guess what the single most common occupation for working people who get SNAP benefits is (it's home health aide)

Kushner looks shook. It would be funny if it what they’re doing in Gaza wasn’t so deeply appalling. P.s., I have yet to *ever* hear Jared Kushner’s voice. P.p.s., let us remember Kushner’s father is a close personal friend of Netanyahu.

Why is Apple, Microsoft, Lockheed Martin, Blackstone, Google, OpenAI, Amazon and others financing the destruction of the WH and desecration of the grounds, something that is infuriating to huge chunk of the American population? Do you hate your customers that much?

NEVER FORGET: Donald Trump, his family & friends have made BILLIONS since his 2nd inauguration. When Jimmy Kimmel was PULLED WE boycotted Disney+ & their subsidiaries & it WORKED. THIS IS ALL ABOUT MONEY, THEY WANT IT ALL & DON'T GIVE AF ABOUT US. NEVER UNDERESTIMATE: WE HAVE POWER OF THE PURSE!🚫

From the impact of DOGE cuts to the closure of rural health clinics, on the “Real Issues” tour, Virginians across the Commonwealth came together to discuss the real issues they’re facing and hold Winsome Earle-Sears accountable for her support of Trump’s dangerous policies.

Sharing for this strong opening graf. “President Trump, a slumlord at heart, is quietly halting enforcement of the Fair Housing Act...” newrepublic.com/post/200749/...

If you can't get Kimmel tonight, you can watch it on You Tube tomorrow. It's free.

Disney doesn’t know how to read the room

What a lovely statue -- share it widely so everyone can see it...

All the Jews have to die or convert to trigger the rapture. Then our dead bodies surround Jerusalem and they climb over us to reach Jesus, who will bring them to heaven. It’s why they’re all Zionists obsessed with Israel. Cause they need Jews to go there so we can die. bsky.app/profile/jeff...

Yup... on top of that, they anticipate all non-Christians will suffer before the earth is consumed in fire and is completely destroyed. They are literally hoping for the end of the world. It's why a lot of Evangelicals do not care to make the world better. Why bother? It's ending soon...

My hero Jeff Tiedrich today: "it’s a trifecta of dumbfuck. it’s the Three Stooges of Science. on the left, the guy who knows more about dead bear cub kidnapping than all the dead bear cub kidnappers. on the right, the fake-diet-pill flim-flam man. and at the podium, Mister Let’s Drink Bleach."

ChatKGB as a pretext for war.

This sounds like DEI to me.

This is as huge a scandal & blunder as this chaotic Administration has seen. The person who should be called to answer for it is Secy Kristi Noem. When a woman who loves the camera as much as Noem is nowhere to be seen for 10 days it’s b/c she’s hiding out. Media should be all over this.

This is a great compilation from Dara Star Tucker www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8rU9by7/

Vance follows a coterie of online Nazis on X, has described Curtis Yarvin as a major intellectual influence, and openly attacks immigrants in blood and soil terms. The response of most of the political press? "Doesn't look like anything to me."

Produce the bodies, be they alive or dead.

Meanwhile [AlertDC] The U.S. Military will conduct a flyover in the NCR over The White House on Wednesday, September 3, 2025, at 11:00AM

In stark contrast, Winsome Earle-Sears would be focused on screwing Virginia workers bluevirginia.us/2025/09/mond...

The mental fitness of elderly Presidents has been such an important issue for the media lately, so I expect wall-to-wall coverage of how President Trump has once again thrown a fit about one of his own signature policies, showing no awareness of how it arose or who executed it.

We’re only a few years removed from creatjng a vaccine to protect against a deadly airborne virus in a matter of months. Now, we have a scion fail son running the CDC into the ground not because it failed, but because its success conflicts with RFK Jr’s eugenicist ideology.

“This is the Biggest Threat to Our Democracy That Nobody’s Talking About” Congressional Progressive Caucus chair Greg Casar of Trump’s scheme to gut the Voting Rights Act and gerrymander the 2026 election.

Chelsea didn't photoshop him out, but they were very very careful about their photo choices. www.chelseafc.com/en/news/arti...

By linking the Epstein Files coverup to "the Russia Russia Russia hoax," Trump is trying to convince his base that this is all another conspiracy to get him. But there's a real risk that linking them goes the other way, and the QAnon faithful start to think, well, maybe Russia wasn't a hoax either?

Florida is committing "enforced disappearance," a very serious violation of international human rights law. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i... www.ohchr.org/en/special-p...

Healthcare is a human right. Saying “only people who can work should get healthcare” is the same as saying “people who are unable to work — or unable to find work — should die.” Children, the elderly, people with disabilities, and the unemployed do not deserve to die if they get sick or injured.

Just like they said they were going to in project 2025 www.nytimes.com/2025/07/13/c...

Support something good in the world.

It's when you assemble the whole picture that you have to raise the question if the intention is to destroy this country and whether this country is in fact being destroyed.

How the Trump admin blurs reality using kayfabe, controls the narrative, and gaslights away from legitimate allegations of fascism:
