I am infuriated that the campaigns bungled this. He knew he sent it. He could have gotten out in front of it a long time ago. If it’s true that AS did not know then we have a wholly incompetent vetting process. Once again, an avoidable error.

β€œProtect each other.” It just seems like certain death or abduction. I guess we’re all going to have to decide when the time is right for our blood to water the meadows of - here. But I can hear the people sing.

The US Forest Service web page (browser version) At the top is a yellow banner with the text 

"The Radical Left Democrats shutdown the government. This government website will be updated periodically during the funding lapse for mission critical functions. President Trump has made it clear he wants to keep the government open and support those who feed, fuel, and clothe the American people."

Furloughed for the shutdown in/near Virginia? Contact your local democratic campaign or cross the border (DC folk) and knock doors. Early voting is open. Turn your anxiety/rage into action.

If we do run the table this cycle, we still may not have time to stabilize the state budget for the worst of the Medicaid cuts. If the republican is left at AG, we won’t even fight for it. We have to vote blue all the way down the ballot. Early voting open now. Take an ID.

As I’m canvassing for GOTV, it’s only strong dems who haven’t voted now and I am shocked at the lack of Interest and awareness.

#virginia Things I heard canvassing in Virginia for democrats yesterday: β€œI’m not voting for any more white men.” Our candidates are a white woman, an Indian-American woman, and a black man. Her local rep is a black man. There will be no white men on her ballot. β€œIsn’t Youngkin a democrat?”

Thanks! We also need folks to knock doors to get out the vote. We’re only knocking doors of democrats who have not voted. We need to leave it all on the field. If we don’t run the table our state budget will be gutted next year. And democracy may die. Sadly not overselling this.

Grijalva: I was looking at the example of now-Representative Walkinshaw from Virginia, who was elected two weeks ago Tuesday. The following Wednesdayβ€”less than 24 hours laterβ€”he was sworn in, with unofficial results.

So for me, apparently the rules have now changed in just two weeks.

If we can’t vote next year our options will be to flight, flee or capitulate.

If you can drive to Virginia Sat or Sun every weekend until Election Day, I can get you to the weblink to sign up. Ignore polls. Saying who you’d vote for and actually voting are 2 different things. We’re knocking only strong D who have not voted yet. Scared to knock? Get over it. 2/

#Virginia #spanberger Virginians and anyone else who can. It’s time to get out the vote. We are already voting. The dem canvass is only for Democrats who have not voted yet. It’s the easiest one to do. There is a mountain of evidence that doors knocked translate to votes. /1

Saw this is a church in Lewes Delaware today. I sat down and just stared at it. It gave me a bit of peace for a moment.

Looks like another Reddit kid. With a gun. So thankful for law enforcement and a safe ending for the representative. May she serve in peace and safety.

I still can. Maybe there will actually be a vote in the midterms, but if not, we had tonight.
First time live for me. Usually YouTube the next day. Glad I have YouTube TV so I don’t have to worry about which station still banned it.
