Trump is now using the government shutdown to push more mass layoffs — further damaging Virginia’s economy.

That’s an egregious attack on Virginia jobs.

Don’t let them lie to you!
The GOP controls the House, Senate, and White House.

If the government shuts down, it's because they chose to shut it down rather than pass a budget that serves the American people. #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

Hot damn! Congrats to Sen.-elect Drey and nice job, @iowademocrats.bsky.social. (No doubt @zachwahls.bsky.social is absolutely delighted.)

Final results in Iowa's #SD01 (Trump+11):

Catelin Drey (D)- 55.2%
Christopher Prosch (R)- 44.8%

That's a 22 point overperformance from 2024 AND a broken Republican supermajority in the State Senate.

this isnt communism or socialism, its a sundowning egomaniacal lunatic, completely untethered from reality, accumulating power because he wants to and no one is going to stop him

CNBC: So we should expect the US government to be taking more equity stakes in businesses around the country?

KEVIN HASSETT: It's possible, yeah. That's absolutely right.

Holy shit. This legit gave me chills.

NEW: The government has offered Mr. Abrego deportation to Costa Rica if he pleads guilty, and threatened deportation Uganda if he does not. According to his lawyers in a new filing, that violates his 5th Amendment due process rights. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-govern...

The Government is Violating Mr. Abrego's Due Process Rights. Again.

Mr. Abrego's attorneys have revealed that the government has threatened him with deportation to Uganda if he doesn't plead guilty to the two felony counts against him.

Virginia Giuffre’s family denounces “DAG Todd Blanche’s bizarre interview” of Ghislaine Maxwell in a statement. www.allrisenews.com/p/maxwell-tr...

As the family of one of the most prominent survivors, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, we are outraged. The content of these transcripts is in direct contradiction with felon Ghislaine Maxwell’s conviction for child sex trafficking. During DAG Todd Blanche’s bizarre interview, she is never challenged about her court-proven lies, providing her a platform to rewrite history.

This travesty of justice entirely invalidates the experiences of the many brave survivors who put their safety, security, and lives on the line to ensure her conviction, including our sister

By moving convicted felon Maxwell to a minimum security, country club prison, the DOJ sends a disturbing message that child sex trafficking is acceptable and will be rewarded.

The Department of Justice serves the people of the United States. We continue to call upon the DOJ to do its job by investigating and holding accountable the many rich and powerful people who enabled Ghislaine Maxwell’s and Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes.

I’ve seen so many people spreading the misinformation that PBS is shut down or is shutting down.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has been shut down and PBS has been defunded.

HOWEVER!!! PBS still exists. It is more important now than ever that you donate to PBS if you can.
