Abigail Spanberger is about to make history as the first woman governor of the state of Virginia!

A Facebook post from Abigail Spanberger reads:
“Thank you, Norfolk! Take it from President Barack Obama — there’s too much at stake to sit Tuesday’s election out.
This is our opportunity to chart a new course forward for Virginia — and your vote will set an example for the rest of the country along the way.”
Photos show Spanberger and Obama at a campaign rally with a large American flag and “VOTE” signs behind them.

When I enlisted in the Navy as a 17 year old, I believe that accepting verifiable results and conceding loss was a hallmark of our democracy. There's no excuse for Leavitt 's disgraceful remarks.

LEAVITT: It's absolutely true that there's fraud in California's elections

Q: What's the evidence of that?

LEAVITT: It's just a fact

Today the voters of NYC decide who will become it's next mayor. I unapologetically believe that Zohran Mamdani will make a great mayor.

Mamdani brought tryhardism back. Popping up on seemingly everywhere, Zohran let absolutely everyone see him sweat. In the last days of his campaign, he talked openly about his claustrophobia and anxiety.

He’s one of us. Americans in 2025 are anxious and sweating everything too. trib.al/TqLD7up

Mamdani, Spanberger, and Sherrill Have One Important Thing in Common

Yes, they have real ideological differences. But they’re all out there hustling. And hustle is what the Democrats need right now.

FT sums it up thus: "Mamdani has built his campaign on making New York more affordable for the people who live and work there."

And this is the platform Democrats are worried might spread nationally (!)

I agree 💯%. The decisions and policies put the troop's lives at risk. Our country is in a dangerous path. Many more senior officers need to speak up and expect better policy decisions. People's lives are at stake.

Tony Negron @tnite02.bsky.social · 1d

If Flag Level officers are staying silent because of fear of retribution then they are cowards.

When I was active duty there were senior officers that I respected and then there were officers only concerned with their careers. It’s truly sad if true.

A lot of young men and women are doing a great job breaking down the benefits of progressive policies. This type of messaging is what we need.

My predictions for Tuesday's elections is a clean sweep for Democrats and democracy:

NJ: Sherrill wins.
VA: Spanberger wins.
NYC: Mamdani wins.
CA: Prop 50 passes.
ME: Q1 fails.
PA: SCOPA Justices are retained.

He wants to kill Obamacare, but has no other plan. He is not satisfied with his deportation operation because his ICE agents are not abusive enough. He plans to continue murdering people in the Caribbean Sea because the law and these humans are of no concern to him. All this thanks to John Roberts.
