Ted Cruz just posted a video montage with photos of every Democratic senator altered to make them wear sombreros and mustaches. It’s set to the song Macarena.

What the fuck are we doing here?

DPVA Chairman Senator Lamont Bagby Issues Statement on MAGA Shutdown and More Potential Firings of Virginia Workers

Richmond, Virginia – In response to MAGA Republicans, Democratic Party of Virginia Chairman Senator Lamont Bagby issued the following statement regarding the MAGA shutdown of the federal government and Trump’s plan to use the shutdown to fire more Virginians:

β€œMAGA Republicans, including Representatives Jen Kiggans and Rob Wittman, helped Donald Trump create a healthcare crisis in Virginia – and Winsome Earle-Sears has cheered it on,” Bagby said.

β€œPremiums will skyrocket for those buying healthcare on the ACA exchange next month and hundreds of thousands of Virginians will be kicked off Medicaid next year. But Virginia MAGA Republicans would rather march to the beat of Donald Trump’s drum and shut down the government than look out for their constituents.

MAGA chaos in Washington has raised the stakes of our elections here in Virginia. MAGA candidates, like Winsome Earle-Sears, are only interested in more tax cuts for billionaires and cutting healthcare to pay for it. They’re even willing to shut down the government to make this happen. Even worse, Trump and Republicans are escalating their attacks on Virginia’s workforce, planning to use the shutdown to pave the way for permanent firings.

We need to focus on driving down prices for Virginians and standing up for Virginia jobs - especially the price of health care. Virginians need to stand up to this nonsense by voting for Abigail Spanberger."

Pfizer Inc. Chief Executive Officer Albert Bourla said the company secured a three-year grace period from President Donald Trump’s promised tariffs on pharmaceuticals in a deal that would lower some of the company’s US drug prices.

Pfizer will sell some drugs at a 50% average discount on a direct-to-consumer website called TrumpRx, an initiative intended to allow Americans to pay for prescriptions at discounted rates negotiated by the government.

The deal appears to resolve two major threats facing Pfizer. It would stave off more damaging drug pricing policies while shielding the company from future tariffs imposed by the administration’s Section 232 investigation into whether the cost of medicine represents a national security threat.

Thanks to fascist voters, pudding-brained non-voters, a broken Congress, and a broken SCOTUS, this rank corruption and authoritarian control of the economy is simply how things work now in the failed state of American.

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

President Trump:

We met [with Putin] in Alaska. I had a good meeting. Then he went back and started sending drones into Kyiv. I said, "I thought we had a good meeting."

The U.S. president just ordered all the military generals to an unprecedented gathering in Washington, then told them that they should plan to participate in a war on American cities.

This is authoritarianism at best, military dictatorship and/or fascism at worst. Either way, it's completely incompatible with democracy, rule of law, civil liberties, etc. bluevirginia.us/2025/09/tues...

He's telling us what he's doing. Using the military to suppress protest. At some point the opposition needs to listen to him and adjust strategy.

Slump-shouldered Trump rambles on. What's the most embarrassing thing he's said?

Praising foreign dictators while insulting U.S. presidents?

Describing how he slowly walks down stairs?

Ranting about forbidden "n-words" (nuclear and the other one)?

Bizarrely invoking firefighters?

All the lies?

This is something that not even Putin or Lukashenko have gone so far as to do! Suggesting that they use their own cities as military training grounds for suppression of domestic opposition and civil war.

This is more like post-1991 Saddam Hussein and 2011-2024 Bashar al-Assad's civil wars.

America’s military leadership has more important things to do than listen to lectures on character from an unqualified drunk who assaults women.

Any soldier who was as careless as Hegseth was with war plans would be fired if not prosecuted.

And everyone in that room knows it.
