God. The Braves this year. 🙄

Or at the very least, glitter-bomb them.

Personally I am unfamiliar with any legitimate activity that requires switching license plates, which by the way is illegal.

I’ll say it again: It was a huge mistake for Congress to abolish itself.

We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

I worry that escalating war with Iran will be used to whip up more fear and hate for non-white immigrants, particularly those of Arab descent, and be used for unjust deportations.

Secretary of the Dept. of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, accused a US Senator of disrespectful political theater. In this picture she is shown posing for staged photo ops in various costumes.

We need a stronger word for outrageously cynical hyper-hypocrisy.

Only 2 of 12 statewide candidates have been to Virginia’s westernmost county " data-medium-file="https://cardinalnews.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Ewing-DeBusk-pic-300x216.jpg" data-large-file="https://cardinalnews.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Ewing-DeBusk-pic-1024x738.jpg" /> Here are five things statewide candidates could learn if they visited Lee County, most of which is closer to eight other state capitals than its own except for a small part that's closer to nine.

What's left to live for? You peaked way too soon, but you reached the coffeeshop themed-cookie summit.

Grid operator warns there’s a chance of a power shortage this summer. However, Congress wants to slow down the growth of our quickest source of new electricity.

The catch is other forms of power take a lot longer to develop, which doesn't help meet a more immediate demand. The post Grid operator warns there’s a chance of a power shortage this summer.

Today is Day 17.

Still 0 deals.

It sure is wonderful to see our life-long college friends.

I rarely take pleasure in the misfortune of others, but my heart is warmed.

For some reason, I've never been one to curse, but I'm getting more opportunities to work on that.

The war against empathy. A number of Evangelical pastors name empathy as the devil's tool.

Putting up a candidate just to have a name opposing the opposing party would be a ridiculous strategy. Voters deserve qualified candidates. Parties need to cultivate candidates not just toss people in as place fillers.

This is such an insult to true Americans who've fought for voting rights.

So everyone is losing their retirement funds because other people included pronouns in the bios & resumes? Seems like we’re living in a pretty stupid country.

My two favorite spring flowers are trout lilies and trillium. The trout lillies came out in mid-March and now it's time for the trillium to show off. This was taken this morning in Big Tumbling Creek (maps.app.goo.gl/EoEf2jSp8jXp...)

600 showed up in Abingdon VA, a small Appalachian town in Southwest Virginia. In case you don't know, that is an amazing number. @takeaction-swva.org @indivisible.org #HandsOff #Virginia

So Switzerland🇨🇭 is charging ZERO percent on imports from the USA. They are not part of the EU and their investments generate over a million jobs annually.
But Trump slaps a 32% tariff on their imports. Zero vs. 32.
This man is really opposed to equity.

Library and museum support agency faces massive cuts after Trump order It’s a small federal agency few have heard of, but it has a large impact around the country. The Institute of Museum and Library Services is the largest source of federal funding for museums and libra...

Trump goes after libraries and museums.
