Because you lack a backbone. Resign in January so our new Governor can appoint a better replacement who will actually fight for Virginians and not cave in to Republican demands.

No no no begs every archivist. You are never going to be able to find anything. Please don’t start using emojis in file names. Who asked for this? What fresh hell is next?

Trump is 30 points underwater. Dems swept the special elections. People know the GOP is responsible for the shutdown. So the Dem Senators pulled out their big guns... and shot themselves in the foot.

Democrats ran the table on Tuesday at state and local levels, getting not just its base excited but β€œnormies” fed up over the last 10mo, so of course national Democrats want to do everything to pop the air in the balloon.

Joyce Carol Oates
@Joyce... 17h O
So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciatesβ€” scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the
"most wealthy person in the world."

Remember the time Obama personally caught a fainting woman during his speech β€” rather than just blankly staring like a sociopath?

One time I was calling over a neighbor’s cat named The Undertaker saying β€œCome on Undertaker, baby I got a treat for you.” I also lived next to a funeral home.

So when I looked up over the fence I realized the undertaker was holding a bag of trash staring at me calling him in for a treat.

Every time I see an ad for some Christmas shit in fucking NOVEMBER it makes me despise the holiday just a little bit more. There SHOULD be a war on Christmas. We need to defeat and eliminate it.

Interesting Times with Ross Douthat
Did Women Ruin the Workplace?

Douthat is a fool, but who was the @nytimes.com editor who commissioned or approved this and why are they working there? Did they lose their job at the Anti-Suffrage Gazette? Were there layoffs at the buggy whip factory? Or is it a refugee from Project 2025's campaign to take away our checkbooks?

This. Good god, this. And it's not just welfare either, though that's what this particular paper studied--it's *all* public programs.

American racism is why we can't have the things that'd make our nation work. It's why we're dealing with the socio-political disaster we're currently dealing with.

It's hard to overstate the scope of Governor-elect Abigail Spanberger’s victory.

I congratulate and thank the candidates, their staffs and volunteers, and all whose tireless efforts made this happen.

And then there's the House of Delegates, where before the election, predictions were for the Democrats to increase their majority by maybe 6 or 7 seats. Nope, try 14. Incredible.

I'm loving the massive overperformance of the polls by Virginia Democrats tonight. No pollsters had Spanberger by 15 or Hashmi by 11. Averages in the AG race had Miyares by 1-2%, but instead, Jones is winning quite comfortably by over 6 points.

WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger.

Gen Z women aren't playing around.
