This week- Braddock District Fairfax School Board Election! patch.com/virginia/fai...

1. Hundreds of corps that pledged to stop donating to members of Congress who voted to overturn the election on 1/6/21 have broken their promise over the last 5 years But we've identified 10 promise keepers: Farmers Airbnb Expedia Nike Clorox Eversource Energy Holland & Hart Qurate Whirlpool Lyft

Today marks five years since the attack on the U.S. Capitol, where supporters of President Donald Trump tried to stop certification of the 2020 presidential election. 88 people from Virginia were charged for participating, according to an NPR database.

Former Capitol Police Officer: Hundreds of police officers, my friends, fought valiantly to defend the Capitol and our democratic process that day. The mob said to me 'President Trump sent us, and we don't want to hurt you, but we will.' Pardoning criminals who severely beat officers is unacceptable

NPR built a visual archive of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, showing exactly what happened through the lenses of the people who were there. In "Chapter 2: Stop the Steal," we look at how false claims of a stolen election mobilized Trump supporters.

You absolutely need to be making a huge deal out of this. Read it. Talk about it. Post the hell out of it. They dropped Smith’s testimony on New Years knowing people are not paying attention & distracted by Venezuela. TRUMP BELONGS IN PRISON. #ProudBlue #OneV1 #Pinks www.pbs.org/newshour/amp...

The Washington Business Journal asked the White House if it plans to bypass the GSA and demolish the Cohen federal office building and three others. (Doing so would be illegal.) The White House declined to answer. I sure wish the Washington Post would cover this. www.bizjournals.com/washington/n...

Donald Trump and Republicans are hellbent on making Social Security work worse for the American people. I won't stop fighting back.

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

The governments of Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Uruguay, & Spain issued a joint statement condemning the U.S. actions in Venezuela & the threats of the president regarding “running” another sovereign country.

This week, every Senator will have the opportunity to vote for or against the use of military force against Venezuela. I am voting AGAINST any war with Venezuela. Congress must rein in this corrupt and dangerous President IMMEDIATELY.

Chevron, ExxonMobil and now… Citgo. Venezuela raid enriches MAGA billionaire. The ouster of Maduro is a financial windfall for a prominent Trump-supporting billionaire, investor Paul Singer. popular.info/p/venezuela-...

This has always been the goal—I taught chapters from Carol Brooks Gardner’s 1995 book on street harassment, Passing By, last semester, which clearly speak to that—but new technologies dramatically, frighteningly extend the reach & duration of “public harassment”

Updated with YouTube and Substack links where we could find them. Let us know if we missed anything!

Yep - Jen Kiggans (R-VA02), Rob Wittman (R-VA01), John McGuire (R-VA05), Ben Cline (R-VA06), etc. all voted NO on "RepMcGovern’s war powers resolution to bar President Trump from military action against Venezuela without authorization by Congress." t.co/k1gvOBAdSy h/t Rep. @beyer.house.gov (D-VA08)

Keep in mind: Trump couldn't share his plans to invade Venezuela with Congress because they're "not trustworthy." But he had no problems sharing these plans with Chevron and Exxon Mobil, as we learn here.

Yesterday the U.S. Department of Justice added another target to their growing demand for unfettered access to private voter data—Minnesota. Our position is unchanged. Private voter data is not a political weapon. Period. @lwvus.bsky.social @lwvva.bsky.social

Opinion: Military action in Venezuela puts Kaine back in national spotlight for his quest to curtail presidential war powers

Thank you Republicans! www.pilotonline.com/2025/12/31/i...

The Republican representative I’m challenging commended Trump’s unjust attack on Venezuela. If Wittman truly cared about narcoterrorism, he’d have spoken out against Trump pardoning former Honduran President, one of the biggest narcoterrorists. Our responses are side by side for comparison.

The Venezuelan people elected Edmundo González to run their country. Not Pete Hegseth or Marco Rubio. The American people do not support another expensive foreign war that risks the lives of our men and women in uniform.
