What would Walter Cronkite say about this? BTW, Lincoln referenced "the last best hope of earth," not "on Earth." Also, this is just terrible writing; why the colon after "every night," for instance? And what's the "conversation" of which they speak? bluevirginia.us/2026/01/frid...

Reminder: far-right Virginia State Sen. Glen Sturtevant (R) has been all-in with the Cult Leader (Trump) on destroying our democracy, trashing our constitution, severely harming Virginia's economy, etc. This is where he finally draws the line... bluevirginia.us/2026/01/frid...

I mean, why have on a pathological liar (Richard Grenell) who insults you, your network, etc. and adds absolutely no value? Even worse, why say he's welcome back any time? Just bizarre, pathetic "Stockholm Syndrome" behavior by the @pbsnewshour... bluevirginia.us/2026/01/frid...

Fmr. Rep. @denverr.bsky.social (R-VA05) on the Idiocy of CBS “News”: “Define ‘Average American’. What type? Those who believe in…Haitians eating pets?…QAnon?” (Riggleman: "News should be facts-based regardless of who it 'upsets'.") bluevirginia.us/2026/01/fmr-...

Exactly. And any media outlet that legitimizes these MAGA propagandists (including by calling them "journalists") can seriously go f*** itself bluevirginia.us/2026/01/frid... h/t @atrupar.com

Pretty much EVERY Democrat should be posting about this. Also, this should be an ongoing, HUGE story in the media. But...nah? bluevirginia.us/2026/01/vide... h/t @govpressoffice.gov.ca.gov

At the last meeting (12/18/25) of the Fairfax County School Board, the Sully District/Fairfax School Board member, Seema Dixit, requested approval to attend the meeting virtually, since she was in India. The request was rejected on a 5-5 tie vote. Seems odd? bluevirginia.us/2026/01/frid...

Several Upcoming Virginia Special Elections in January – for SD15, HD77, HD11, HD23, HD17; Also a Dem “Firehouse Primary” for Fairfax County School Board (Braddock District); All of these are in safe-blue districts, but still, let's never take anything for granted! bluevirginia.us/2026/01/seve...

And don't forget these special elections on 1/6 (this coming Tuesday)! bluevirginia.us/2026/01/frid... h/t @senatorhashmi.bsky.social

Another upcoming election in Virginia will be for the Braddock District (Fairfax County) School Board seat vacated by Rachna Sizemore Heizer, who was elected to the Board of Supervisors recently. On Monday, there will be a candidate forum...see below for info. t.co/VGbWgw8o9C

Perfectly fine interview, but this click-bait headline is just absurd -- Delegate-elect @staceycarrollva.bsky.social absolutely did NOT say that "profanity led to her politics" (she DID say she got "tired of cussing at the TV," but that's not the same thing at all) bluevirginia.us/2026/01/frid...

On a related note, when it comes to redistricting (and more broadly, the overall attitude), @jamellebouie.net argues correctly that Democrats need more Grants, fewer McClellans bluevirginia.us/2026/01/a-ne...

A New Redistricting Amendment Is One of the First Items VA Dems Will Take Up Starting 1/14; Should They Shoot for a 10D-1R or 9D-2R Map? (Currently, VA's US House delegation is 6D-5R, but Spanberger won two of those GOP-held seats - VA01, VA02 - in November) bluevirginia.us/2026/01/a-ne...

"Where Are You Going, America? America is no longer a democracy. That doesn’t mean authoritarianism has won. But merely restoring the pre-Trump status quo won’t work. The country needs a democratic transformation." - @thomaszimmer.bsky.social bluevirginia.us/2026/01/new-...

Just a reminder, btw, that Trump literally called for terminating the Constitution; also, since he was sworn in, he has spent every day of his presidency defiling (and defying) the constitution. And the right wingers are cool with that. bluevirginia.us/2025/12/gove...

How the (far) right wing is framing Spanberger's selection of Virginia's new Chief Diversity Officer, Dr. Sesha Joi Moon. Expect a LOT of this type of thing in 2026; the question is, how will Spanberger's team deal with it (ignore? respond?) bluevirginia.us/2025/12/gove...

I really think Senate and House Dems should invite @donscott757.bsky.social to their strategy sessions instead of the usual pundits and insiders. Talk to someone who plays to win - and wins

Along with @SpeakerDonScott, who had an amazing year politically speaking (won a near supermajority!), @SpanbergerForVA also had one of the best years in U.S. politics in 2025. It's not surprising at all that she won, but by 15+ points??? Wow! bluevirginia.us/2025/12/new-...

Arguably, VA @SpeakerDonScott had one of the best years - if not THE best year - in U.S. politics. Just amazing. bluevirginia.us/2025/12/new-...

Hahahaha, this should be fun (or, more likely, not)! bluevirginia.us/2025/12/tues...

This is EXACTLY the reaction you'd expect from John Reid to Spanberger's selection of Dr. Sesha Joi Moon to serve as Virginia’s next Chief Diversity Officer and Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion...and nope, Reid doesn't disappoint! LOL bluevirginia.us/2025/12/gove...

From a source: "The McManus campaign is asking for the IP addresses of the online voters who participated in the firehouse caucus. They are arguing that they can’t be certain that it was always the voter who filled out the voter declaration form." bluevirginia.us/2025/12/resu...

And even today, we're STILL not really seeing a sustained, serious level of investment by Dems in media. Even worse, many/most Dem electeds are still boosting right-wing media outlets like Fox and Sinclair, also "both sides" outlets. Ugh. bluevirginia.us/2025/12/tues... h/t @daveweigel.bsky.social
