@vadot.bsky.social why is the westbound direction of Victory Boulevard at the US-17 traffic signal only 25 seconds out of every 145 seconds? Changes to I-64 in the mm 256 to 262 have increased traffic on secondary roads in Hampton/Newport News that traffic is terrible.

@steveinskeep.bsky.social @npr.org firing Lisa Cook by the Felon-in-chief is the pot calling the kettle black. The Felon-in-chief is a felon because of mortgage fraud. He has no more authority for that reason because he too should be fired for the same reason.

@whropublicmedia.bsky.social it always seems that the peninsula is not your purview. I'll bet there's lots of sustainers. But, I-64W at Exit 242 has a crash with 2 left lanes blocked. Traffic is backed up more than 2 miles.

Breaking from the Office of Pres. Obama:
"Our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response. But these claims are outrageous enough to merit one. These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction.

You know how broken our political system is when a man who’s clearly deranged holds the highest office and the people who could remove him from that office continue to support him with gusto.

@npr.org @whropublicmedia.bsky.social I'm saddened by the loss of Malcom-Jamal Warner. Of all your membranes, the one that really stuck in my mind is his outstanding performance in Tuskegee Airmen, when he develops engine trouble and lands on a nearby country road, with Laurence Fishburn. Awesome!

@steveinskeep.bsky.social that's rich. President Trump has broken hundreds of laws since becoming President 47. His argument for calling in military service people in Los Angeles is to restore law and order. The hypocrisy is outrageous.

So let me get this straight. Three top office holders in Trump's administration are vehemently antisemitic, but the administration is castrating universities that don't crack down on antisemitic behavior and rhetoric. WTF? Seems like the pot calling the kettle, black.

@steveinskeep.bsky.social @nbcnews.com follow the money. Trump knows when he will raise or lower tariffs. He's buying and selling stocks based on his impact on the market. His children are raking in millions. Remember, he's immune from prosecution and can pardon his family.

@cityofrichmondbc.bsky.social you should have traffic control at Altria Theater. Getting to the parking garage nearby is taking more than an hour from I-64. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

@npr.org your coverage of Gaza and the suffering of Palestinians is so lopsided, it's disgusting. Two extremely young Israeli boys are returned mangled and mutilated, but i hear nothing about them. If American children suffered similarly, do you think we'd be silent?

@kaine.senate.gov thank you so much for refusing to sign the Republiklans CR. Don't back down. Stand up for those of us that want this administration's terror on government employees to stop, for our country to be a democracy not authoritarian. I'm a government employee. You have my support, period.
