A huge thank you to the Arlington GOP, all (R) voters (in Arlington, VA and elsewhere) and their right-wing mega phones.

Who killed Miller?

Cartoon by R J Matson

Sad to say, but @SenTimKaine's optimism regarding Senate Republicans ever really standing up to Trump is just wrong/wishful thinking. In fact, there's zero indication that Senate Rs will ever be willing/able to stand up to Trump's pressure. bluevirginia.us/2026/01/vide...

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social You should take lessons from AOC.

Unfortunately, the VAST majority of "mainstream media" political reporting in the U.S. is "both-sides trash" (as @Sulliview calls it) - combined with normalization, sanewashing, whitewashing, stenography, "access journalism" (an oxymoron), etc. bluevirginia.us/2026/01/mond...

Can we get a comment from the Ashli Babbit stans about how zero law enforcement officers were killed today

#ArlingtonVA If we want to avoid a violent civil war, then we must implement a general strike soon.

Time for @indivisible.org to organize a general strike? God knows our politicians like @kaine.senate.gov and @markwarner.bsky.social aren't going to get anything done.

In normal times, this would be the dumbest person in the U.S., however, we have roughly 77 million people who are dumber.

@markwarner.bsky.social @kaine.senate.gov Senators, do this. And reflect on the fact that you voted to confirm Marco Rubio, the current co-leader of Venezuela. Reflect on exactly how bad a judge of character you are, then make plans to transition your roles to someone who will actually do the job.

Update from Sunday’s #ArlingtonVA house fire: Firefighters spotted it from their glass-enclosed stairwell and jumped in the truck even before the call came in. Gratitude from Wilma Jones and all of us who send kind thoughts every time we drive past Station 8. open.substack.com/pub/wilmaj/p...

Liberation Day has come! Jim Beam is freed from the shackles of production!! All thanks be unto President Donald J. Trump and all of his supporters!!!

Happy Holidays #ArlingtonVA (including the yellow signers) Walkin' In A Well Run Arlington Air plane noise Makes their blood boil And bike lanes Cause much turmoil A miserable sight They're unhappy tonight Complaining 'bout a well run Arlington

The yellow sign gang is not good at song writing either. This is so terrible, all must hear it. #ArlingtonVA

How're you feeling about confirming this guy now @markwarner.bsky.social and @kaine.senate.gov? At least with 97-2, Virginia (or is it Virgina yet?) could have been proud.

@kaine.senate.gov Nice work Senator Kaine! You are a master of the legislative process!!

Sometimes as we enter our senior years, we forget things that we said when we were much younger, principles we help dear, etc. @markwarner.bsky.social, ain't that right?

And the Yellow Signs said, "Save the tree canopy."

It's not just Trump who is a "completely f'ed up, vile, broken human", it is all of the people who support him too.

As holiday visits with friends and family are rapidly approaching, take a moment to consider how you want to "thank" the (R)s in your midst.

#ArlingtonVA anyone have contacts at Hay-Adams?

Local propagandist punts on journalism

But of course we'd remove MLK Day and Juneteenth as National Park Free-Entry Days while adding Fat Don's birthday.

Kid: what's all this blood, mommy? Mother: oh, that's where the sharpshooters killed Bambi. And look here, I think this is some brain.

Fixed that last sentence for you: After throwing away all leverage, I'm going to fecklessly keep challenging Trump's tariffs and work to bring down costs.

@apsva.us @arlcountyboard.bsky.social Something like this would be a nice addition to educational offerings in the county (if not already offered).

Thanks, local Republicans. I hear that Minnesota thanks you too!

Congrats to the Local 99, Gov. Youngkin, Dear Leader, right wing media, and all the (R)s who brought this into being. Job done!

This is unfortunately and sadly who we are now….

Who vs Whom. @davidcorn.bsky.social @eclamb.bsky.social

There is really an unsustainable level of bigoted gutter trash in the United States.

How about we support roads with philanthropy instead?

Chock full of good points, but section 2, letter b, lowercase i...

Hi everybody, It's Black Friday, a big day for us at The Onion, since we rely almost entirely on your memberships. Our goal for 2026? More print subscribers than the Washington Post. This is, somehow, feasible. So sign up! A year of print is $75 for the year today. Help us do a very funny thing.

In other news, a handful of fat guys unloaded a dozen or so trees at an undisclosed location for the Arlington Pessimists sale.

Tasty snake oil, @takiskarantonis.bsky.social?

Arlington Number of Flood Czars: 1 Alexandria Number of Flood Czars: 0

Alexandria: we flood when it rains because we built near the river to facilitate trade and God hates us #ArlingtonVA: we flood when it rains because we paved every surface to satiate our ego and we hate ourselves

@arlcountyboard.bsky.social Why give this to a private pre-school instead of a public pre-school?

Jeffy visits HQ2 in NALA, #ArlingtonVA

The WAPO box should have a thought bubble that reads "Pee On Me, Daddy."
