Congratulations Abigail Spanberger.

I can't wait to work alongside my union siblings to force her to go back on her campaign promise of not repealing right to work.

I hope they pass some progressive bills similar to what Minnesota did the past few years with their slim majority.

If this happens I hope they use this power to help people and not waste the opportunity. I was pleasantly surprised by the last minute rush last week to get the redistricting amendment passed.

Absolutely superb speech by VA Senate Majority Leader @ssurovell.bsky.social - "this is a coordinated national strategy [by Republicans] to grab power"; it's "not democracy"; Democrats can't unilaterally disarm; etc. bluevirginia.us/2025/10/frid...

@ssurovell.bsky.social before Virginia Senate passes redistricting amendment: What do you do when one side refuses to play by the rules? Do you continue to play by the rules and concede defeat? Or do you take actions, even if unsavory, to protect the principles of democratic government?

Listening to these GOP members cry about redistricting, and history of losing "their seats" (they ain't YOUR seats anyway) is a tell--they KNOW exactly how Virginia voters are feeling and how they would vote on retaliating against Trump's redistricting if given the chance.

I think I'm just about ready to offer a different Radical Centrist Take. There's functionally almost no difference between a five star QB and high four star QB in terms of potential for elite performance, but there's a massive one in hype. There shouldn't be!

Elite QB recruiting is a crapshoot!

Related, I've learned that Nexstar has a 75% controlling interest in the CW, which explains why they're airing that garbage at all.

I imagine my email to them is going to fall on deaf ears.

ICE recruiting commercial during the break. GTFOH.

I don't know that I can handle watching VT-NCSU for long, not because of the game, but because of the trash ICE brownshirt recruitment propaganda during every c-break.

Obviously AD still needs house cleaning (though word is Whit will be hands off with a new Football-only GM to handle that stuff), as well as a rumoured ~9m NIL infusion outside of House money, is it still a bad job? @splitzoneduo.com @alexkirshner.com (is Richard even on Bluesky?)
