Newt Gingrich, ex-Congressman, tweeted that Abigail Spanberger voted against keeping the government open and this will hurt her constituents in Virginia. Spanberger has not been in Congress since January. MAGA tells baldfaced, stupid lies. I guess if you only watch Fox News, you have zero facts.

The Trump crew cannot make a courtroom appearance without it becoming amateur hour. Lindsay Halligan, the zero experience US attorney, submitted a false indictment to the judge, as well as the real indictment. Then Halligan denied ever seeing the false indictment. The judge: “But you signed it.”

Halligan, relying a single star witness- McCabe -in the Comey case, had an obligation to disclose to the grand jury the DOJ IG report that McCabe is not a credible witness. She did not disclose that. At trial, Comey’s lawyers will be happy to use the DOJ’s own investigation to discredit McCabe.

I had a great time meeting the @piedmontpersisters.bsky.social in Yowell Meadow Park today for talking, walking, and chalking. Highly recommend!

I guess the Republicansin Rappahannock County don’t like all the members of the statewide ticket. I like how they covered up John Reid’s name— but you can still see it. Studies have shown transphobia is correlated with incompetence.

Some of the beautiful vistas in Luray. I think if you tour the Caverns now, the stalagmites will have formed naturally in a “FDT” configuration.

RAM is in town this weekend! Free medical, vision, and dental care at Luray High School this Saturday and Sunday. Clinic doors open 6 am each day. Hope to see you!

Truth on the road in Page County.

Wait, how long has Dulles Airport had a German army base on it? I know, you're expecting the cheap joke- Trump has brought in the original Nazis! Nope. Not going there. The German army still supports Ukraine and democracy. Glad they are here. Maybe they can arrest Hegseth and take him to The Hague.

I urge you to read Robert Jackson's address from 1940. He was attorney general at the time and was speaking to the Second Annual Conference of US Attorneys. It outlines the role of the prosecutor. We have fallen so far. Jackson's address is up on the DOJ website. www.justice.gov/sites/defaul...

The best democracy is always handwritten and heartfelt. As seen on the mean streets of Arlington this morning.

Pretty sure that if politics don’t work out for the California gov, @jimmykimmel.com will hire @gavinnewsom.bsky.social as a comedy writer.

They were cats. Venerated as gods. Childless cat ladies practice the only religion backed by DNA analysis. Stephen Miller needs to apologize for mocking their religion. www.vice.com/en/article/n...

Pushing news stories just to distract us from The Epstein Files has gotten out of hand. www.vice.com/en/article/n...

When you whine about an escalator stopping, you are a Snowflake Hall of Famer.

Argentina is now exporting large shipments of soybeans to China, replacing the American farmers who’d sold to China. Trump is so happy about that he’s giving $20 billion in aid. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Release the security camera footage in Texas. It will show the “suspect“ did not have a rifle while going to the roof. There have some incredibly accurate sniper shootings said to have been done by two people who are not snipers.

No one has done more to boost Jimmy Kimmel’s ratings than Trump. tvline.com/ratings/jimm...

Until Kash Patel started planting evidence at crime scenes, I had no idea “etchings on casings” was ever done outside of a James Bond movie.

That was an embarrassing speech Trump read off the teleprompter at the United Nations, in so many ways. It's an hour of the world's time no one will ever get back. At least the original version of the speech, the one at the Charlie Kirk Memorial, had a fresher feel.

After Trump's embarrassing speech at the United Nations, I felt like visiting the Eleanor Roosevelt Memorial in DC to apologize. The last time we defeated Fascism, Eleanor Roosevelt and other leaders offered a strong vision centered on universal human rights. We are so far from that vision now.

I keep reading that America was embarrassed by a speech at the UN today, but that must be fake news. Violet Affleck repped us well today at the UN. thesicktimes.org/2025/09/23/v...

At last! Credit where it’s due. Trump actually found an efficiency in government by giving the same speech at the Charlie Kirkapalooza and at the United Nations General Assembly.

For the record, Melania Trump got to walking right after it was clear it was staying stopped. Donald Trump and his posse had to wait to be told to walk.

The arc of golden escalators in New York City is long, but it bends towards justice.

I liked Morrissey a lot better when he was with the Smiths.

It's not random that Trump is now trying to deny Tylenol to pregnant women running a fever. Stephen Miller was binge watching The Handmaid's Tale and requiring his staff to join him. Someone said offhandedly that "Looks like someone didn't get her Tylenol" - and the policy was born.

It's somewhat telling that Melania is the only one in the group who does not have to wait to be told that they will have to walk up once the elevator stopped.

Apparently it's Rapture Day! This is not my first Rapture Day. I checked in on the Arlington Independent Media tv studio one Rapture Day to see who went up. Turns out, only that AIM tv studio has been raptured. The rest of us are still here. youtu.be/spgVWV8GLLc?...

Almost all of what I know about Charlie Kirk I have read since he was murdered, a murder I condemn. I couldn't have picked out Charlie Kirk from a police line-up. From what I read about the memorial service today, with all those vows of retribution, they seem to have repped Charlie Kirk well.

Someone needs to explain how a support group meeting for Incels Anonymous hijacked the mic in Phoenix at what was supposed to be a memorial service for a victim of gun violence. Maybe the FBI can investigate all those speakers vowing vengeance on their "enemies."

Gregory Schneider is reporting disinformation in WaPo, writing that the R incumbent in Virginia's HD-45 is the only candidate on the ballot. But Josh Outsey is alive and well in SW Virginia- and very much on the ballot. Josh is the only candidate in HD-45 standing up for Virginia against Trump.

Shout out and thanks to the Naptown Brass Band who led the walk and then serenaded us at the "Together in Teal" fundraiser in Annapolis this morning. We walked in honor of survivors and in memory of those we've lost. At the Annapolis Mall today, love hit the pavement and walked, stronger together.

The only time ABC was right to keep Jimmy Kimmel off the air was when they turned down his pitch for “The Man Show.” If you want to criticize @jimmykimmel.com, it’d be for The Man Show. But Carr and Trump never bring that up.

Tom Homan is who Trump wants to be when he grows up. Homan rakes in money on the side from the ICE industrial complex and takes in fifty large in a paper bag from undercover FBI agents. And Homan doesn't need a pardon because Bondi shuts down the investigation. The rule of law died on January 20th.

Once again, the Washington Post lets us down. Once the FBI has you on tape gleefully taking a $50,000 illegal bribe, it is past the "probe" phase. It's on to the grand jury and very likely trial/conviction. The evidence is solid. Trump's DOJ did not shut down a "probe" of Tom Homan. wapo.st/46xMPh8

Release the Homan Files. Post the Homan videotape.

Designating “antifa” as a terrorist “organization” makes as much sense as putting Harvey The Rabbit on the most wanted list. (Digression- it’s been almost 40 years, but the Grover Gardner/Nancy Robinette performance of Harvey at Woolly Mammoth still sparkles.)

There are many reasons not to take us seriously as a country any longer, including that people with a lot of power thought Disney CEO Bob Iger would be a great candidate for president. And spare us stories of how media moguls are in a tough spot when they kowtow to the Trump White House. Good grief.

Behind every violation of the First Amendment there is a billionaire who aided, or abetted, or acted on it. And there's usually a billion dollar deal that needs Brendan Carr's sayso. There is a profitable market for every viewpoint in America. Cancelling a show these days is not about the ratings.

The $50,000 bribe Tom Homan took last year from undercover FBI agents, compelling of a crime that Pam Bondi is burying, was actually his job interview for a new gig with Trump. Trump only hires you if you are on the take. Taking a bribe is the job requirement to work for Trump.

Grisly Maxwell is not a victim. She was one of the traffickers and abusers. Maxwell was prosecuted and found guilty. Just because one of her accomplices is in the White House, Grisly Maxwell is still not a victim. I know, Fascism is about Orwellian inversions. But she is not a victim.

I made my debut today as an APS substitute teacher in the same school building that was the first secondary school to integrate in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

If you are coming to Green Valley Day here in Arlington, hope to see you! I organized this conversation with Portia Clark to add to the Health Fair programming. We will film the conversation but then turn off cameras and mics for the audience Q&A. Look for the video later if you miss it.

Despite their best efforts at misinformation & The Washington Post trying to make you think he doesn’t exist, Josh Outsey is alive & well In SW Virginia. He’s the ONLY candidate for HD-45 standing up against the damage from Trump. Y’all can vote for Josh starting Sept 19. www.outseyfordelegate.com

I thought I recognized Trump from growing up. He was the bratty little snitch at the playground who was going to tell his daddy about us.

In 1980, I was in the UK the night America voted for Reagan. British TV had an all night marathon of the dumbest American TV shows (e.g., The Gong Show) and introduced them all by saying- "Everyone you see in this next program had a vote in today's US election." www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Ah, Musk. Evil Bond villain cannot live by Ketamine alone.

98% of what I know about Charlie Kirk I read in the last several days. Had no idea he was married or had kids. Didn’t know he had a podcast. Just stating a fact here. Tens of millions of us like me on the left in America did NOT hate Charlie Kirk. We spent the last 31 years ignoring Charlie Kirk.
