Trump ruins/corrupts everything he touches, and...yep, he just ruined/corrupted the World Cup bluevirginia.us/2026/07/sund...

Corrected the typo in Miller's post. bluevirginia.us/2026/07/sund...

Utterly hideous - ugly, violent, polluting, etc. If you think this was cool or whatever, you're almost certainly a MAGA cultist. Other than that...hell f'ing no. bluevirginia.us/2026/07/kenn... h/t @mollyploofkins.bsky.social

Altria, of course, is essentially just Philip Morris rebranded, because that brand was so toxic - literally and figuratively. Also worth noting: Altria has donated $11M (of which, $6.3M to Rs) to Virginia candidates/committees over the years bluevirginia.us/2026/07/sund...

By "communist," in fact what Trump means is "anyone who isn't a 100% MAGA cultist" By "communism," in fact what Trump means is "any ideology that fails to profess 100% loyalty to Trump" bluevirginia.us/2026/07/sund...

It's fascinating to think about who LOVES wearing masks (white supremacists, ICE agents, etc.) for certain purposes (overwhelmingly bad ones!), while simuiltaneously going APESHIT over medical advice to wear masks during a deadly pandemic. bluevirginia.us/2026/07/sund... h/t @thesgtjoker.bsky.social

Prince William County Supervisor @kennyboddye.bsky.social on July 4, 2026: “Rights can be won. They can also be weakened, ignored, or taken away. Democracy requires participation.”; "Progress is not linear, and nothing in this experiment is guaranteed." bluevirginia.us/2026/07/kenn...

Because storming shit is what MAGA fanatics do. As for learning anything from the (superb) Museum of African American History, that's highly doubtful for the Trump-supporting, racist, willfully/proudly ignorant Idiocracy... bluevirginia.us/2026/07/sund...

Trump is the classic "Ugly American" who thinks LOUDER is better, MORE is more (instead of LESS is more), subtlety is not a virtue while garishness and overcompensation for insecurities are, etc. The B-1B at midnight, as well as the entire July 4, epitomizes that. bluevirginia.us/2026/07/sund...

I’ll listen to the superb Brandi Carlile singing America the Beautiful a million times before I watch one minute of the unhinged Trump rally in DC last night. bluevirginia.us/2026/07/sund...

Flat-out lie by MAGA Rep. Rob Wittman (R-VA01), who absolutely does NOT "[show] up, for every town, every family, every generation, and every corner of our community." And this fall, Wittman's hoping VA01 voters do NOT show up and vote him the hell out of office. bluevirginia.us/2026/07/sund...

One thing - one of the ONLY things - narcissistic sociopathic douchebag Trump's REALLY good at is harming the environment... bluevirginia.us/2026/07/sund... h/t @climatebrad.hillheat.com

Sunday (7/5) News: Trump’s Bizarre July 4 – Crowd Chaos, Rants About Supposed “Communists,” Cringe-Inducing Comments About Civil War, etc. (Also: "Neo-fascist group Patriot Front parades" in DC; Air Pollution Skyrockets) bluevirginia.us/2026/07/sund...

Video: Gov. Abigail Spanberger Delivers Keynote Remarks at Monticello Independence Day Celebration and Naturalization Ceremony ("Loving our country...[is] choosing to believe in our founding ideals") bluevirginia.us/2026/07/vide...

It would be soooo tragic if tonight's fireworks in DC had to be canceled, or if the Patriot Front fascists' activities were cut short by this... bluevirginia.us/2026/07/satu...

Bizarre, absurd, pathetic headline from the NY Times: "patriotic fervor," seriously? "political turmoil" is how they "frame" Trump's massive crimes, corruption, extremism, fascism, etc? bluevirginia.us/2026/07/satu...

Trump's America is a NIGHTMARE. bluevirginia.us/2026/07/satu... h/t @trumpstaxes.com @carlquintanilla.bsky.social

Yep, this is Donald Trump's/Stephen Miller's/Pete Hegseth's America on July 4, 2026. Ugly. bluevirginia.us/2026/07/satu...

The ultimate in psychological projection ("where a person attributes their own unacceptable thoughts, feelings, or traits onto someone else. Instead of facing internal discomfort, like guilt, jealousy, or insecurity—a person deflects it outward") bluevirginia.us/2026/07/satu...

As always, just imagine the reaction by Republicans, the media, etc. if Clinton, Obama, Biden, Harris, etc. had done anything like this bluevirginia.us/2026/07/satu...

Let's all do everything we can to make sure this is smarmy, dishonest, MAGA Rep. Rob Wittman (R-VA01)'s last Fourth of July as a member of Congress - or in any elective office. bluevirginia.us/2026/07/satu...

TrueAnon: "Rep. John McGuire [R-VA05] lactating with Riley Gaines at the park" LOL. bluevirginia.us/2026/07/satu...

Seriously, fireworks really do suck. And Trump's monstrosity in DC is just fireworks on steroids... bluevirginia.us/2026/07/satu...

So Trump delivers a completely insane/unhinged, dangerous, lie-filled speech at Mt. Rushmore. Does the "mainstream" media report it, clearly, with headlines like "Trump Delivers Insane, Dangerous Speech"? Of course not; just like they whitewashed and sanewashed him during the 2024 campaign.

Saturday (7/4) News: For July 4th, “Trump Pardons Violators of the Clean Air Act and a Major Donor”; At Mt. Rushmore, Trump “read a half-baked red scare speech straight out of 1950”; "Brutal heat cancels Fourth of July events"; Climate Change Endangers Jamestown bluevirginia.us/2026/07/satu...

Having just read "Capitalism: A Global History," gotta say, there's so much wrong in here by fmr. VA Del. Manoli Loupassi (R), writing to Paul Goldman, re: how capitalism/markets work, it's hard to even know where to start. Mindbogglingly oversimplified, for starters. bluevirginia.us/2026/07/frid...

VA Del. @helmerva.bsky.social: "July 1 this law went into effect. Manufacturers have put up notice that they're not shipping to Virginia...There are several court cases...we expected [the Trump administration]...to do the bidding of the gun lobby" bluevirginia.us/2026/07/hour...

It simply won't be safe to be out in the sun and extreme heat for hours tomorrow bluevirginia.us/2026/07/frid...

Bonus points to @repwalkinshaw.bsky.social (D-VA11) for consistently calling this the Big UGLY Bill, not the Orwellian name Trump gave it, and that the "mainstream" media mostly just amplifies uncritically...because they suck. bluevirginia.us/2026/07/sena...

Your regular reminder that John McGuire was in the pro-Trump mob outside the Capitol on 1/6/21 - & that he's been a HORRIBLE delegate, VA senator & now Congressman. Also, this November, VA05 can MASSIVELY upgrade by replacing McGuire with @tomperriello.bsky.social! bluevirginia.us/2026/07/frid...

Spot-on by Rep. @beyer.house.gov (D-VA08): "The future of our planet depends on people willing to stand up for science and the truth. I’m so grateful to the scientists who walked to D.C. to deliver letters demanding action on climate change." bluevirginia.us/2026/07/frid...

Thanks to SCOTUS, "We are officially embracing a primitive, inefficient and dysfunctional system of governing subject to extreme politicization and corruption that all of the advanced world rejected long ago" - Chris Ambrose nails it bluevirginia.us/2026/06/sen-...

20 years ago, we were in the midterm cycle for "Dubya"'s second term, in which Dems picked up 6 seats (including Jim Webb in VA) & took back control of the Senate; also +31 seats in the US House, making Nancy Pelosi Speaker. Can we match that in November 2026??? bluevirginia.us/2026/07/frid...

Agreed. Also, super-weird, cringe-y interview by @pbsnews.org. They're trying SO hard to kiss right-wing ass (when they're not "both sides'ing" everything), and...nope, it's not going to work. bluevirginia.us/2026/07/wedn...

This is a totally normal statement by @abigailspanberger.com for America's 250th birthday - IF we were living in normal times. But we're not, at all, so why pretend that we are? Much, much better: @jennmcclellanva.bsky.social's speech on this same topic. bluevirginia.us/2026/07/vide...

At this point, why would anyone be building new fossil-fuel-generated power capacity, given that solar and wind are much cheaper/quicker to build, that clean energy is...well, clean, etc, etc? bluevirginia.us/2026/07/frid...

"Voter numbers have surged in Democratic primaries through the first half of 2026, creating a primary electorate that tilts more toward Democrats than in 2018, when Democrats won control of the House during Trump’s first term" - Politics & Poll Tracker bluevirginia.us/2026/07/frid...

Every one of these headlines is completely f'ed up - MASSIVE failure by NBC "News" in particular - they don't even put "vandalism" in air quotes or whatever. As for the Bezos Post, they go with "alleged" - but don't note that it's by TRUMP, who is INSANE & a LIAR! bluevirginia.us/2026/07/frid...
