Beware of misleading information, Virginia:

Really enjoyed Project Hail Mary. Disappointed that it wasn’t about the Rosary.

This “military excursion” against Iran is the exact reason we had checks and balances. They have failed; and without a sustainable change in direction, our republic will be a failed experiment.

Saw a guy sporting a MAGA hat at the airport earlier, and he looked exactly like one might imagine.

Hey, Virginia please vote YES for the Virginia's Redistricting Amendment.

Currently, in Virginia, you are UNREGISTERED to vote when you renew/replace your drivers license. One must register again or you may not be allowed to vote.

It's just insane the degree to which the federal government has simply declared war on a U.S. state. A punitive war with no discernible objective other than to immiserate its people. bsky.app/profile/apne...

New reports reveal that the UAE royal family secretly funneled $500M to Donald Trump’s cryptocurrency venture, just days before his inauguration and months before the President agreed to sell the UAE highly advanced AI chips that many fear would end up in the hands of China. 🧵

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

Astonishingly accurate illustration.

How on earth am I going to explain Saving Private Ryan to my grandkids? (After I dust off the buried copy of the contraband media.)

Called and left messages for both of my Dem Senators opposing any funding for ICE. WTF is wrong with our Dem leadership? Do they think voters will vote for them in the midterms after this? Because people are getting jaded. Apathy is coming if they won’t fight.

During the Cold War the United States military had 15,000 soldiers stationed in Greenland. That presence has been reduced by 99% to just 150 soldiers today. Denmark has given the US exclusive and full military access to Greenland but the US does not use it. This has nothing to do with security.

We’re sleepwalking into a disaster

Who agrees? ✋

tens of millions seems like a huge underestimate

NSF is about to dismantle NCAR at Russell Vought's direction to protect the fossil fuel industry. It's hard to communicate just how much NCAR does, so let's take a look: I've never worked at NCAR, and I've worked with NCAR researchers once ever. What scientific discoveries has NCAR made possible? 👇

The Commonwealth of Virginia is united in joy at the end of the campaign commercials that seemed extra obnoxious this cycle.

For those wondering what the law says about changing the design of the White House. Warning: History incoming. 🗃️

He can still win the Nobel Peace prize, if Pence has the courage.

Everyone should be held to the same standards.

Is it inappropriate to say All Lives Matter?

I remember the past, when my biggest problem was 30 to 50 feral hogs.

“…I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it.” My latest in @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a...

NYT locks the daily mini crossword? One step closer to absolute irrelevance.

Meteorologists now face a Trump ‘loyalty test’ when applying to National Weather Service jobs www.sfchronicle.com/politics/art...

Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.

It’s terrifying to think we were *this* close to having a bunch of student loans forgiven. Imagine THAT hellscape!

#Steelers last year were so much better, on paper, than the previous year. Results were what they were… not certain I see any improvement to look forward to this year.

Part of what's driving the Trump Admin's attacks on NOAA is they want to privatize the National Weather Service. They made it clear in Project 2025 — instead of weather forecasts & climate data being a public good, they want to sell it to the highest bidder. A corrupt bargain.

If statues were history, we'd have statues of Benedict Arnold at Richmond, VA (which he sacked while fighting for the British). No, statues are praise. Confederates were slavers, traitors, and losers. No statues for them.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the Confederates were traitors.

VA Secretary Doug Collins, a third of the workforce at the VA are veterans—is it putting veterans first to violate their union and first amendment rights?

Due to the elimination of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting WQED Pittsburgh, the original home of Mr. Rogers, will lay off 19 employees, 35% of its staff WQED must now shoulder the burden of paying for ASCAP/BMI music rights previously funded by CPB www.wqed.org/press-releas...

I’ll give you $30 to take those cars down to Aintry…

No country honors those who tried to destroy it by naming military bases after them. The Confederates fought against the United States—they shouldn’t be celebrated or memorialized by our military. It’s time for this to end.

Trump’s FCC chair stooge says @cbsnews @60minutes will now have a “bias monitor that reports directly to Trump”🤔 as a condition of the Paramount/Skydance merger Honestly why even bother at that point? Don’t we have enough regime propaganda networks already?

Shot out of the blue… if you haven’t seen #Superman- do it. The bigger the screen, the better.

NEW: The Department of Veterans Affairs will REDUCE staff by 30,000 - one-third of whom are Veterans themselves - by the end of September.

The Department of Veterans Affairs announced it is walking back plans for mass layoffs at the agency but says it will still shed tens of thousands of jobs by the end of fiscal year 2025.

The United States government is no longer able to protect us from real hazards, such as flash floods, because it’s shifting funds to fake hazards, such as a non-existent immigrant crime wave. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/05/u...

I hold you responsible: for every disgusting thing he says, every way he perverts our systems, every reprehensible decision he makes, every human being whose life he makes a living hell, every immigrant he rounds up in hospital beds and churches... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/to-the-peo...
