Christmas rainbow in DC @capitalweather.bsky.social

I just listened to the Morrison Mysteries: Snow Queen podcast. Based on Andersen’s fairy tale of the same name. I kept thinking how all of MAGA seems to have its hearts and eyes pierced by the mirror but no amount of pure love and tears can break this awful spell we are living under. Save us Gerda.

“It turns out that banishing the slur from public discourse was, in fact, important. Because now it’s back and it turns out that it does matter when subtext becomes actual text, when terrible people enable open hatred and bigotry, encouraging others to emulate them, degrading us all.”

OMG. I don't think I've seen anything like this.

One last push to get out the vote! We are sending canvassers out to get folks to the polls. If you have time today, consider signing up to talk to voters. We have shifts starting now, 3pm, and 5pm. More details here: www.mobilize.us/mobi...

Watch until the end. Really.

This woman is indeed glorious and I would like to meet at her local diner for lunch asap

Virginia, like we always do, will set an example for the rest of the country on November 4.

#Arlington crushing early voting

Virginians are tired of the chaos. On Tuesday, we'll turn the page.

@wmata.com Bad day to have a bad day 😬

And in that moment, standing in my kitchen, phone in hand, staring at the rubble, three words filled my body like fire. I hate him. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

He’s gonna tear down the Lincoln for a putting green, isn’t he?

Of all the things this makes me so, so sad.

DOGE 2.0 is here. Thousands of Virginians have already lost their jobs — and now the Trump Administration is using his shutdown to fire even more. This is outrageous.

Everywhere I go, the #1 issue I hear about from Virginians is the rising cost of living. It’s why the very first plan I released was my Affordable Virginia Plan — focused on lowering housing, healthcare, and energy costs across the Commonwealth.

Omg

Federal employees are guaranteed back pay at the end of any shutdown by law. This is not in question. That law - the Government Employee Fair Treatment Act - passed nearly unanimously. Speaker Johnson and Leader Thune voted for it. Trump signed it.

Winsome Earle-Sears doesn't care about us. She wouldn't listen to me, and she had no answer for why she supports ripping health care away from 350,000 Virginians to give Elon Musk and the billionaires more tax breaks.

🚨Virginia, today is the first day of early voting — which means it’s time to make your voice heard in this election. iwillvote.com/va

Tiki Barber knows what it takes to win in the fourth quarter — and it’s going to take all of us to deliver the biggest win yet in Virginia.

Doomscrolling respite stop

I think this point is far more important than we realize. The fact that we consume completely different media showing us completely different things is a huge driver of division.

Leaving work tonight I saw three groups of four men carrying long guns in the quarter mile that comprises the path from the WWII to the Lincoln.

DC statehood now.

Washington DC’s 700,000+ residents deserve federal representation. DC statehood now.
