The absolute best!

"MTG turns on Trump and resigns. Mamdani and Trump are new best friends. I am so confused." - UVA Prof. @larrysabato.bsky.social nails it; we're living in the "Upside Down" world in many ways, and it's super confusing! bluevirginia.us/2025/11/frid...

BREAKING: Marjorie Taylor Greene says she's resigning from Congress — effective January 5, 2026.

Starbucks can end this today: bargain in good faith, resolve unfair labor practices, and stop the union-busting. Until then, workers are holding the line! #NoCoffeeNoContract

Every single state - red or blue - should be fighting this. It will have a devastating effect on public education. www.sltrib.com/news/educati...

“I want to know why you’re so fervent that you know for a fact Trump has nothing to do with this. Can we see the files?? Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence…” @dossdiscourse.bsky.social the latest to pick apart Smug Scott Jennings (who was once anti-Trump) on national TV

This is rampant in the Virginia political media, where they simply won't just say glaringly obvious stuff like "Youngkin's campaign rhetoric in 2021 was RACIST" (as opposed to anti-"CRT," anti-"DEI" blah blah blah) bluevirginia.us/2025/11/wedn... h/t @karlbode.com

Anytime you’re feeling embarrassed, remember that Clay Higgins woke up this morning to the realization he was the only one in the whole ass Congress who voted to defend pedophiles. He gets to carry that vote with him like a scarlet letter for the rest of his unremarkable existence.

The Trump Administration launched a direct attack on The University of Virginia — and on academic freedom. It’s time Virginians have a Governor who stands up for our students.

No matter what obstruction Trump tries next, I will keep pressing for justice and accountability for Epstein’s victims and for full transparency with the American people.

✌️

Exclusive: President Trump's approval rating fell to 38%, the lowest since his return to power, with Americans unhappy about his handling of the cost of living and the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found reut.rs/47O9ckj

This Trump judge recognizes that Trump has destroyed the Department of Justice.

My god. My god. Oh fucking hell. God.

“I will vote YES to release the Epstein Files because it's time to bring this coverup to an end. Throughtout...Trump’s behavior has been strange, frantic, & deeply troubling. He has acted like someone who is very guilty of something." - @Rep_Walkinshaw (D-VA11) bluevirginia.us/2025/11/mond...

VA Senate Majority Leader, P&E Chair Applaud VA Supreme Court Decision Affirming Balance of Powers re: Senate Rejection of Youngkin Appointments to University Boards ("MAGA rules don't work...where we still have a rule of law that Youngkin & Miyares have to follow") bluevirginia.us/2025/11/va-s...

Cry me a river.

CIVIL RIGHTS UPDATE: Gun Control Orgs Ready to Floor It in Virginia As Soon As Spanberger Takes Office. Youngkin has vetoed 42 gun reform bills since he took office in 2022, including an assault weapons ban, a prohibition on abusive dating partners owning guns, and a minimum age for rifle […]

This is a great memory of a peaceful revolution, but remember, one month later the Romanian People sentenced their dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu and his wife Elena to death, and executed them by firing squad on 25 December.

This leaves in place a preliminary injunction barring the Youngkin appointees from serving The Virginia Supreme Court did not reach merits of the matter The Court tends to be restrained in such a situation and wait for a final resolution before further ruling

Video: @repwalkinshaw.bsky.social (D-VA11) Explains – “Trump is the hero in QAnon and Pizzagate,” But Now “MAGA is crashing out” Because, “at a minimum, Trump knew that Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were trafficking young girls” bluevirginia.us/2025/11/vide...

GMU President Gregory Washington stood tall against this illegal Trump/Youngkin pressure campaign - and because they couldn't fire him, they're rumored to be planning a criminal indictment. Thank you @abigailspanberger.com for recognizing the urgency and standing up for our schools.

Nothing to see here from the "pro-life" folks, right? virginiamercury.com/2025/11/07/c...

I've been "educated" over on *that other site* that this change is something experts in education support, but my main point re: the timing and how headlines next year will scream about scores plummeting under Gov Spanberger is still correct.

On brand.

We are so looking forward to competent leadership from @senatorhashmi.bsky.social !

“Here’s the rest of me.” Newton Pratt on Reagan’s platform of negation, Sacramento Bee, 1/4/1966. "Down with: Social Security, fed aid to education, Medicare, public power, veterans' hospitals, foreign aid, UN, graduated personal income tax..."

A new state commission and a local task force are digging into how institutions like Christopher Newport University and others used eminent domain or land acquisitions to displace Black neighborhoods — and they’re making the findings public for the first time.

Emailing former PM of Norway…

Confirming what we already know— Trump can be bought and Russia wasn’t a hoax…

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

U.S. House votes to end government shutdown, 222-209. Goes now to the president. www.c-span.org/congress/?ch...

BREAKING: House passes a bill to end the nation's longest government shutdown on Day 43, sending the measure to Trump for his signature.

Pretty sure at this point everyone knows what is true about Trump and Epstein (whether they admit it or not). What remains to be seen is, now that there is more evidence to the fact, will anything be done about it, or… business as usual?

Republicans refused to fund tax credits to prevent Americans' health care costs, but they snuck in a provision that will give Republican Senators millions of dollars in taxpayer money. They won't help you, but they'll take your money for themselves. This stinks to high heaven.

GI Hegseth has made it clear that he's remaking all military branches in his own image: the epitome of mediocrity.

It's really amazing when you think that not that long ago, Prince William County had a Republican-controlled Board of Supervisors with Corey F'ing Stewart as its Chair, plus numerous Republican delegates, etc. bluevirginia.us/2025/11/wedn...

Shitty parenting from the Silicon Valley set. Never occurred to me to tell my math gifted son that he could be an asshole since he was good with numbers.
