Thank you for showing up for Abigail. I block-walked for her in 2018 and 2020. She’ll make a great chief executive for the Commonwealth.

A freedom-loving people will not stand for the corruption and the power grabs we’re witnessing daily in our country. That's why millions of Americans took to the streets a few days ago, and it's why elections like the Virginia governor race will show the path to a better future a few days from now.

If some group had tried to murder YOUR grandparents, would you be cool with someone having a tattoo of their logo? Would you accept that it was a "youthful mistake" or that they just didn't understand it? Would you let it slide bc you don't want to "alienate" people who don't think it's a big deal?

It is nothing new for Donald Trump to illegally raze a historical building.

It started with Bonwit Teller and has moved to the White House.

Wittman Watch @wittmanwatch.bsky.social · 1d

The regime is killing Virginia. Wittman keeps voting for it all.
- Hampton Roads (like NoVA) is *losing jobs* under Trump/Wittman
- VA’s growth is now among the lowest in the USA *and will stay that way through 2027*
- Unemployment is rising statewide and will keep rising in 2026
Wittman must act!

My neighbor, an American citizen, was detained by ICE yesterday. Guns in his face as he listened to their threats to break his car windows to pull him out.
I watched the video.
I heard the person recording it hyperventilate.

NEW: The State of Arizona sues the House of Representatives, demanding that Speaker Mike Johnson seat Adelita Grijalva or that someone else be allowed to swear her in. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

PRAYER FOR RELIEF
Because there is no dispute as to Ms. Grijalva's election or qualifications, the Court should:
A. Issue a declaratory judgment stating that Ms. Grijalva shall be deemed a Member of the House of Representatives once she has taken the oath prescribed by law, see 5 U.S.C. § 3331;
B.
Issue a declaratory judgment stating that if Speaker Johnson has not administered
the oath, the oath may be administered to Ms. Grijalva by any person authorized by law to administer oaths under the law of the United States, the District of Columbia, or the State of
Arizona; and
C. Award other relief as the Court deems just and proper.
Dated: October 21, 2025
Respectfully submitted,

Attorney General for the State of Arizona

Do you guys really think we can reform this system through elections? In the face of intense wealth concentration, corporations treated better than humans, corrupt campaign finance, rising authoritarianism, increasing state violence, etc.? Really?

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

Screenshot of a text exchange via Signal between Anna Bower and Lindsay Halligan.

Halligan: By the way - everything I ever sent you is off record. You're not a journalist so it's weird saying that but just letting you know.

Bower: I'm sorry, but that's not how this works.
You don't get to say that in retrospect.

Halligan: Yes I do. Off record.

Bower: I am really sorry. I would have been happy to speak with you on an off the record basis had you asked. But you didn't ask, and I still haven't agreed to speak on that basis. Do you have any further comment for the story?

Halligan: It's obvious the whole convo is off record.
There's disappearing messages and it's on signal. What is your story? You never even told me about a story.

It’s clear at pretty much every turn that none of these people have any experience with anything they’re doing and are just playacting what they’ve seen in movies.

It’s a government run by people whose experience amounts to the “I’m not a doctor but I stayed at a Holiday Inn last night” ads.
