They believe what theyโ€™re told to believe. Theyโ€™re told theyโ€™re smart pioneers, doing essential work. But they donโ€™t understand any of it. Their profound lack of curiosity and self-reflection mirrors that of Trump and MAGAts everywhere.

They are autocratsโ€™ playthings. Putin loves them all.

Four Imperial War Museum WW1 exhibits struck home today:
1. Surprise, horrific attacks created massive resistance
2. Allies' meddling in the middle east was predicted to fail
3. Govts purposefully generated racial animus
4. Jews and "foreigners" blamed for everything

Trump is doing it all again.

Tweet by Kyle Griffin reporting that the Trump administration has lifted sanctions on Russian oil currently at sea, allowing it to be shipped to buyers worldwide as energy prices surge during the Iran conflict. The post includes a New York Times link and an image of a U.S. official walking outside the White House with security personnel.

Wittman has been bragging about lowering costs for the First District; chief among those is housing. The Senate passed the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act โ€” bipartisan legislation designed to improve housing affordability and availability. How will Rob vote? Watch this space.

Trump admits the first 6 days of war cost about $11 billion (and you KNOW it's more)

PLENTY of $ for that ๐Ÿค‘

Extending ACA benefits costs $30 billion per year.

No $ for that--waaaay too expensive!

Whose fault?

Trump is helping Putin, again.

WHY will no major outlet frame the news like this? This framing explains *everything*.

Stop focusing on the chaos and start reporting on the pattern, FFS.

The government is investigating new claims that DOGE misused Social Security data The fallout from DOGE staffers' efforts to access sensitive Social Security data continues as an agency watchdog disclosed a new investigation into "potential misuse" reported by a whistleblower.

DOGE bros definitely stole all our data. The only need to investigate is to determine who they handed it to, not whether they did.

It's only a "disaster" if they didn't mean for the outcomes to happen. But I'm almost positive they did. EVERYTHING Trump does eventually helps Putin. It's not coincidental.

@georgetakei.bsky.social I love you but I'm begging you to look past the veneer of "We're idiots! What WILL we do next?!" and see the reality of what's been happening this entire time.

The chaos IS their plan. The idiocy of their actions and our justified reaction to it is their cover.

Trump attacks Iran pointlessly.
Oil markets crash; Trump allows sales of Russian oil at premium prices.
Russia supports Iran's response.
Trump doubles down.
Russia sells more oil, ploughs proceeds into Ukraine and Iran wars.
Trump triples down.

This is the new forever war, by design & for profit.

Wittman has a compelling life story, but he votes as if he were a Trump: yes, on the Big Ugly Bill that cuts Medicaid, a core support for many foster, kinship, and adoptive children and, nothing, as Trump imposes tariffs and starts a war. He needs to share his accomplishments before November 3.

The death of reform: How Virginia Democrats are sabotaging our Constitution for power | Guest column Democrats are attempting an unconstitutional, midโ€‘decade power grab to overturn voterโ€‘approved reforms and rewrite political maps.

This Republican operative whines that Virginia should isolate itself from the national impacts of Trumpโ€™s command that R states redistrict now.

Self-dealing nonsense.

Gerrymandering should be outlawed. Until it is, the law of the jungle applies.

Hey, Rob, We need to talk. Your polls are tedious. This one is just two recent polls combined to (1) libel the governor; or (2) avoid discussing the vile actions of ICE in U.S. cities. Data show immigrants commit fewer crimes than native-born citizens. Now, can this be the last we hear of this?

Of *all* the USA, the biggest job losses are in Hampton Roads and NoVA. Plus, UVA says weโ€™ll have only 0.1% job growth this year.

WITTMAN VOTED FOR THIS.

Heโ€™s sacrificing all of us for his billionaire donors and Papa Trumpโ€™s insanity.
