I've never heard a louder crowd at a political rally. Roaring enthusiasm.
I went to Roanoke to witness a community's attempt to care for *everyone* in it, and to see how residents are demanding accountability from their elected officials. (Also, great news: @bethmacy.bsky.social is running for Congress!)
Of, by, and for the people
Roanoke is rising, and it's drafted Beth Macy for Congress.

Remember when the Trump administration ignored a judge's order to return planes deporting 200+ "alien enemies" to El Salvador in March?
In DC court just now, that judge said he'll force DOJ officials to testify. And maybe top Trump admin officials.

I know that at this point it's a subplot in the Epstein files drama, but I feel compelled to point out, once again, that Larry Summers HAS NO BUSINESS teaching students at ANY university ever again!

The revelations about the economist’s attempts to pressure a women into a “relationship”—with guidance from Jeffrey Epstein—should finally disqualify him from teaching students.

one thing i think is true is that republicans assumed that democrats would not respond in kind and that the forceful pushback spooked them (a lesson to learn here, perhaps)
Trump's corrupt scheme to rig 2026 is suddenly falling apart:
*Court strikes down Texas GOP gerrymander
*Indiana GOP lacks votes to redraw map
*Big Dem win in Virginia could give Ds more seats
