@abigailspanberger.com will work to stand up for Virginia families – because that’s what she’s done her entire career. As governor, she has plans to lower the cost of housing, health care, and utilities, and grow Virginia’s economy.

So make a plan to vote today at abigailspanberger.com.
I'm honored to have the endorsement of President @barackobama.bsky.social.

He knows how high the stakes are on November 4th — and he knows that every vote counts.

The president got his feelings hurt, so he tore down part of the White House.

Every tantrum shows weakness.
Not strength.
The president got his feelings hurt, so we're doing 10% more tariffs on Canada. Joke of an administration.

A new report finds corporations like Kroger and McDonald's are using digital loyalty programs to track your data and potentially charge you more.

It's a tactic known as surveillance pricing.

The East Wing’s very plainness came to symbolize the functional modesty of democratic government: a space for staff, not spectacle; for the sustaining rituals of civic life, not the exhibition of personal glory. All of that is now gone, Adam Gopnik writes.
Why Trump Tore Down the East Wing
The act of destruction is precisely the point: a kind of performance piece meant to display Trump’s arbitrary power over the Presidency, including its physical seat.

The power of consumers.
Even in an age of oligarchs.
This is several days old. But amidst so much else id missed it. That’s a stunning number. No wonder they about-faced. Reminder of the power of consumers in oligarch era, not subject to the same kind of targeting.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

Sen. Paul is right. These are murders.
Rand Paul on Trump's strikes on boats: "I would call them extrajudicial killings. This is akin to what China does, what Iran does with drug dealers -- they summarily execute people without presenting evidence to the public. So it's wrong."

Please join us in supporting your local food bank. Things are about to get very bleak for thousands of South Carolina families.
Hundreds of thousands of South Carolina families could lose their SNAP benefits in days.

Kids, parents, and seniors are at risk of going hungry if Republicans don’t reopen the government.

A must-read on the silent censorship taking place in the US press.

So much of this is going on in American newsrooms right now, and not just to kowtow to Trump.

Example: Consider how little is being written about the extreme radicalization of Silicon Valley.

With Biden-era policies in place, U.S. companies were just starting to catch up to Chinese manufacturers, which have a big head start thanks to longstanding support from their government. Now those U.S. companies are in danger of falling farther behind.
