Looking at the Virginia redistricting map, these are big changes. It is basically Inoculating the Commonwealth with NOVA vaccine.
This is not a fight we asked for but it is a fight we can ill afford to lose. The ONLY way to stop our decent into further chaos is to take back Congress.

Study under-medicating too to be valid. But that’s not the point is it? Arriving at preconceived answers is the point.

How does it feel to self-neuter and become bystanders to your own jobs?

I have known many who have served in the National Guard. They are from all walks of life. They train during the year for emergency deployment; not to be used by a megalomaniac as his toy soldiers.

The AI explosion means millions are paying more for electricity Across much of the eastern U.S., electricity bills have jumped. The reason? Data centers required for AI and other tech wonders are driving up electricity demand.

Experts fear their growing needs for power will outstrip supply and prices will spike for everyone. wapo.st/4l2by2j

Exclusive: US aid cuts leave food for millions mouldering in storage The food stocks have been stuck inside four U.S. government warehouses since the Trump administration's decision in January to cut global aid programs.

"The warehouses, which are run by USAID's Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (BHA), contain between 60,000 to 66,000 metric tonnes of food, sourced from American farmers and manufacturers…"
