The @pilotonline.com editorial is on the money. Wittman's silence is unacceptable. He must justify the invasion into Venezuela before #VA01's military personnel are put into danger. What's next? Cuba? Colombia? Greenland? Wittman must speak up NOW. bsky.app/profile/pilo...

@hanovervadems.bsky.social @vademocrats.bsky.social @bluevirginia.bsky.social @rva-indivisible.bsky.social @wjccindivisible.bsky.social More fish pictures from Rob Wittman (R #VA01). Still no live town hall. Read the comments. His constituents know he isn't working for his district.

11/ The tariffs aren’t economic policy. They are political weapons. But as long as we see this clearly, we can stop him. Public mobilization is working. Today, a few Republicans joined Democrats to vote against one set of tariffs. The people still have the power.

Pushback works, part gazillion: "Here are the facts: DOGE moved forward with plans to close multiple field offices. Then, without public notice or explanation, they reversed their plans. Now they are trying to pretend like they were never planning to close the offices." popular.info/p/how-the-so...

The Trump Administration’s reckless federal workforce purge is putting our nation in serious danger. 🔗⬇️

The idea that a pro-union candidate might lead a Republican labor department was once unthinkable, @russellberman.bsky.social writes. Trump’s nomination of Lori Chavez-DeRemer will test how much the GOP is willing to bend Republican orthodoxy on organized labor:

We are not going to do the fascists’ work for them.

Today, I was honored to speak at the NAACP Fredericksburg Branch's annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Prayer Breakfast. As your Governor, I will always let the ideals and values Dr. King aspired to — equality and justice for all — guide the work we do on behalf of Virginians.

The fuck? I had to interrupt my Doctor Who marathon because Elon took his clan hood off and went full Nazi on national TV?

Harris would have been an excellent president. She would have had capable advisers. She would have transformed the Dem Party with muscular progressivism. I’m still not over it

Teach the people! Yes, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social.

The fact checker has hanged himself.

I was really hoping we'd have a woman as president before we had one from South Africa, but here we are.

Our rescue hound Quinn. She's extroverted and loves people and attention; she's more or less the mayor of our neighborhood. She has great comic timing but also a strong sense of responsibility. She can smell my emotions and acts as a default therapy dog—throwing herself on me whenever I smell upset.

Don't look away

“Eugenia” (1986) by Victor Zaretsky (1925–1990). Zaretsky, born in Bilopillia, Sumy Oblast, Ukraine, was a celebrated Ukrainian artist who passed away in Kyiv.

Trump admits he can’t lower grocery costs—despite making it a key campaign promise.

So annoying - in fact, Bob Good is a far-right extremist who was an unmitigated DISASTER in Congress and we will NOT miss having him there (to the contrary, GOOD RIDDANCE!). Why do Democrats feel like they have to talk like this?!? bluevirginia.us/2024/12/tues...

House Democrats elected Rep. Gerry Connelly (Virginia) over Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (New York) to be the party’s top member on the powerful Oversight and Accountability Committee, sticking with a veteran amid a broader shake-up aimed at taking on the second Trump administration.

Nothing says 'party of the future' like a 74-year-old getting Pelosi’s backing over a 35-year-old progressive for a leadership role.

Connolly becomes ranking member of the House Oversight Committee by a vote of 131-84.

Tried my best. Sorry I couldn’t pull it through everyone - we live to fight another day. ♥️

Victoria Spartz is quitting the GOP 'circus' to join Elon Musk's toothless DOGE caucus—because nothing says serious governance like teaming up with Marjorie Taylor Greene and Vivek Ramaswamy to 'slash' imaginary trillions.

“It’s a miracle the U.S. military has anything that blows up, ever.”

If the Dems want to lose more young voters, this is definitely how you do it.

Me, a public health person, just sitting over here reflecting on the fact that the US has experienced a 7% increase in infant mortality post-Dobbs. Like, do you realize what that says about this society from an ethical perspective? That we made policy choices that caused this? #PHEthx
