This speech today by @senatorhashmi.bsky.social was truly superb; everyone should watch it, then make sure they vote for her (and remind everyone they know to do the same)! bluevirginia.us/2025/10/vide...

Years of US police impunity conditioned USians to accept this as acceptable.

4,187 early votes in Loudoun today on second to last day on in-person early voting That’s 61.4% of same day equivalent in 2024 Expect big numbers today and tomorrow in Virginia early voting

Turn Up the Voter Turnout!!

FACTS about SNAP: -35% to white people (largest share) -90% to people born in 🇺🇸 -86% to households with kids -70% work full time but aren’t paid a living wage (aka corporate welfare)

@ashdashlee.bsky.social CAN I GET A MIC CHECK?!!! 🙏🏼

15 Republican senators have now joined all 47 members of the Democratic caucus on legislation to extend SNAP benefits during the shutdown. In all, 62 senators are on this bill. I say to Majority Leader Thune: Don't let kids go hungry in America. Call a vote on this bill NOW!

The Republican Senate Majority Leader chose to send the Senate HOME rather than hold a vote to fund SNAP. He will force a vote 13 times on a bill he knows won't pass rather than vote ONE time on a bill to fund SNAP we KNOW would pass. Shameful.

The current homepage of USDA. This is deeply and profoundly fucked up. And illegal. People need to go to jail.

🚨BREAKING: The Trump administration threatened Ohio with “costly litigation” unless it bans the counting of ballots that arrive after Election Day, the state’s top election official revealed in comments to lawmakers. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Learned today from someone doing work in a border town in Texas that paramedics/EMTs have been instructed to not respond to medical emergencies inside detention camps. Think about that.

I'm proud that my tax dollars help feed families, and I'm not going to waste my time defending why. Caring for kids, seniors, and people with disabilities shouldn't be controversial. Feeding families is patriotic. So please donate to a food bank if you have the means: vafoodbanks.org

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

"Virginia! Gov. Wes Moore is coming to Harrisonburg, Blacksburg, Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Stafford on Saturday to campaign for Abigail Spanberger!" - @CarterElliottIV bluevirginia.us/2025/10/phot...

So I've been paying $1200 a month this year for an ACA plan. 2026 preview site from the regime just went up. This is what the exact same plan will cost me per month in 2026. I'm beside myself.

My morning joy!

This is an absolutely revolutionary and critical proposal. It is a roadmap for changing the way we deal with safety, gun violence, and mental health in every community in America.

it's friday.✌🏽 if you made it to today, keep going.♥️

I see a lot of people wringing their hands over shameless clown + white nationalist Steve Bannon insisting that Trump will serve a third term. And I get it. Folks are so traumatized and rattled regarding the past 10 years that they're letting him get under their skin. Don't. Here's why. (thread)

Virginia…. If you think State and Local elections don’t matter, I’d ask you to reconsider. They are becoming increasingly more important as critical issues are put back on States.

Has Any Other President Ever Said, “Sounds Like Money!”?!?

The GOP shutdown might give Dems here in Virginia a chance for a trifecta, even boosting beleaguered Jay Jones. That's how scared they are about the Epstein Files. Still haven't sworn in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social

when all this is over we need to have a pretty serious conversation about the utter moral failure of the elite of this country

If you're represented by a Republican, tell them it's time for Mike Johnson to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva. No more excuses or delays. app.sosha.ai/s/10wuQJsF #SwearHerIn #SwearInGriyalva

Republicans shut down the government to gut healthcare and bankroll Trump’s illegal power grab. We must hold the GOP accountable for causing chaos just to appease a wannabe king. #NoKings #StopTheTrumpShutdown app.sosha.ai/s/XqxxZHZQ

VIRGINIA!! Today is the LAST DAY to register to vote (standard ballot) or apply to vote ABSENTEE. Every single vote matters. Go to vote.virginia.gov to register or check your registration. #VirginiaVotes

If republicans are fine with this, is there any reason why he couldn't just... knock down the lincoln memorial? or the vietnam wall? What else might he want to do to arlington cemetary besides putting his big weird french arch with gold dingleberries in front of it? www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
