The 10 highest-paid utility company executives raked in more than $220 million last year. Meanwhile, utility companies asked for a record $31 billion in rate increases, affecting 81 million customers across the country. Yes: utility CEOs are raking it in while millions struggle to pay their bills.

Yes, Republicans are challenging the results of Virginia’s redistricting referendum, and this is a concern But they keep turning to the same MAGA judge in Tazewell County, whose decisions have routinely been overturned by the Virginia Supreme Court So the will of the voters will likely prevail

To understand the presidential approval ratings, you just need to understand that GOP voters will almost NEVER approve of a Dem prez, no matter how well the economy is doing, and will approve of a GOP prez, no matter what. It's not the same for most Democratic voters.

I think the majority of Romancelandia is on Threads. Including the publishers. Sigh.

Congratulations to the Georgia Women's Tennis Team!

Here’s the very simple truth. We should ban all Gerrymandering. Until then, to unilaterally disarm is political suicide and malpractice.

Yes, Republicans, like the hypocrites they are, do get extremely upset when Democrats play by the rules Republicans set for themselves.

Thank the lord for the invention of cellular service and personal hotspots!

Today, I will be testing out my router for the first time. Hey, wood is expensive, y'all! 🪵

I don't know about you, but a town of 5k - 25k people shouldn't have more say in what happens in the STATE than a city of 250k. That's NOT equal representation. They should have "all the say" when it comes to matters affecting ONLY their town.

Slowly but surely, European countries are dumping American technology, foremost due to privacy concerns and then costs.

Land doesn’t vote. These kind of maps are terribly misleading.

EVERYONE should be suing companies for their tariff money back. Companies already passed those costs onto us. We paid them. We shouldn’t let them get it twice.

After France, Denmark is moving too: its Digitalisation Ministry plans to phase out Microsoft, switching to Linux and LibreOffice in the coming months. The goal is clear—reduce dependence on a handful of global tech giants and strengthen digital sovereignty.

No… Tucker, you are not welcome, forgiven, excused, or given the benefit of the doubt. You laughed on TV while children suffered and you did it for years, because the money was good. You can rot.

I need you all to remember ICE is still destroying families and assaulting people daily. Don't forget to keep protesting.

it is so telling that referendum was up to the voters in Virginia and California, but not Texas. Here they just did it. They wouldn't put it up to a vote. Tonight it really looks like cowardice.

most gerrymanders are republican legislators saying fuck the voters these ones are the voters saying fuck republican legislators

Cf. the Bezos Post, "Republicans gerrymandering in Texas is fine, actually" b/w "Democrats gerrymandering in Virginia is a threat to democracy"

According the AG Blanche, “The SPLC is manufacturing racism to justify its existence.” This is some whacked out far-right fantasy. Hard to imagine this theory will hold up in court, but the lives of paid informants who infiltrated hate groups will be at risk. www.justice.gov/opa/pr/feder...

"This is an important thing to think about."

How to avoid possible future charges of lying to Congress 101… Of course the President didn’t ASK you to commit to lowering interest rates. He undoubtedly TOLD you to… 🙄

Hey Virginia, If you got in line by 7 PM, you still have the right to vote. Stay in line. Don’t leave. #VoteYesVirginiaToday

The Trump regime doesn’t like the Southern Poverty Law Center labeling hate groups as hate groups, so it’s weaponizing the Justice Department to try to destroy the SPLC. This is DOJ taking the side of the Klan.

A country is its people. And nobody hates the people in this country more than Republicans.

My ISP did a hardware upgrade last night and this morning I have no Internet.

Now that the Supreme Court has ordered the Trump administration to refund companies what they paid in tariffs, yet there are still tariffs in place, what's the plan? Consumers continue to fork money over to corporations who will later get another refund?

You gotta give to the GOP. They trained their voters to hate “libs” so much they would gratefully accept every manner of corruption, lawlessness, cruelty, ineptitude, and criminality, and cheer it on, so long as it is their team doing it.

They always do. Sick bastards. GOP: Grand Old Pedophiles.

Wealth tax is a WONDERFUL thing. It's the least we can do. The very LEAST!

Newly released records on the police response to the assassination of Melissa Hortman show officers knew a woman was lying motionless on the top of the stairs inside the Hortman home but waited 30 minutes to physically check on her.

John Roberts' wife is not the only Supreme Court spouse to shake down people with business before the court to give bribes. Ginni Thomas has a "consulting firm" (AKA a PO Box for checks) to funnel money to Clarence. #Corruption

Trump pressured Republican states to rig their electoral maps, because he saw a midterm disaster coming for his party. He knows they will lose big without rigged districts. Virginia can level the playing field and stop his newest scam tomorrow by voting YES for fair election maps. #VoteYesVirginia

They love filing lawsuits. Oh, btw, we, the taxpayers, are paying for it.

They want the ballots so they can figure out how to cheat better
