Yeah, whenever I’m asked about Trump I say “I detest him, but to be fair, I didn’t like him before he ran for president.”

And Youngkin has the temerity to accuse Spanberger of “bullying” the UVa Board of Visitors.
Sheesh.
Sheesh.
Fmr. UVA Pres. Ryan’s letter: “...the Governor knew what was happening and suggested I needed to resign. What did the Governor know, when did he know it, and what—if anything—did he do to try to either secure my resignation or prevent it?” bluevirginia.us/2025/11/in-r... h/t @katrinacallsen.com

Everyday Americans get nickel and dimed while the rich dodge taxes.
They struggle to get by while the wealth of the 1% skyrockets.
They see their voices drowned out while the well-connected avoid accountability.
There are two sets of rules in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else.

To be very clear, Virginia Giuffre was made to say she mistakenly identified Alan Dershowitz as one of the people who sexually abused her. Here is the proof from this week's Epstein files dropped by the House Oversight Committee.

We’re entering a new phase of the Epstein scandal.

Bobby Scott lays out the obvious.
Capitulation is not an effective negotiation strategy.
Republicans will expect Dems to blink again. And from what I’ve seen, they probably will.

Under the Big Ugly Bill, Alphabet gets $17.9B in tax breaks. That could pay for SNAP benefits for 7.5 million Americans.
Amazon gets $15.7B. That could lower ACA premiums for 2.4 million people.
Microsoft gets $12.5B. That could cover Medicaid for 3.8 million children.

It’s great that in these times of huge inflation and the ever increasing cost of living, Microsoft chose to jack up the cost of Game Pass to $30/month $360/year,
so Xbox can become “more of a profit center” for them.

So, in the republicans “clean” shutdown bill there’s millions for senators and a ban on hemp? Is that right?
And some dems voted for it?
Ordinary Americans don’t seem to have any representation anymore.

Why is this “clean” Republican bill giving millions to senators?!
AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Well, so far this year I’ve lost an aunt, two cousins, a former legal assistant, my cat of 17 years, and faith in both my federal government and the Supreme Court.
