Wow!!!!

An image of a list of the 27 grievances against King George III in the Declaration of Independence. Donald Trump's regime has committed at least 20 of them in whole or in part, condensed into the list below: 1. He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. 2. He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation … 3. He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing … his invasions on the rights of the people. 4. He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; … obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners … 5. He has obstructed the Administration of Justice … 6. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices … 7. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. 8. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. 9. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. 10. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution … giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: 11. For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: 12. For protecting them … from punishment for any Murders which they should commit … 13. For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: 14. For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: 15. For depriving us … of the benefits of Trial by Jury: 16. For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences: 17. For … abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments: 18. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us. 19. He has … destroyed the lives of our people. 20. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us …

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain.

Donald Trump and his regime have committed at least 20 of those same offenses highlighted in yellow.

When authoritarians tell you they like authoritarianism, over and over and over and over and over again, believe them

Will Virginia step up for its rooftop solar industry? • Virginia Mercury The coming end of federal tax credits has goosed the U.S. solar market in the near term and poses an opportunity for developers, legislators and Virginians, writes columnist Ivy Main.

I know @katrinacallsen.com and I will be back again this year banging on the drum of Virginia building out our cheapest, easiest to install energy source!

If we care about energy bills, energy supply and moving to a clean energy future we gotta get it done!

The development of Randall Estates, established in Fairfax County between 1962 and 1974, an initiative led by Shiver, is representative of the Black community’s self-determination and resilience in the face of discrimination and oppression. www.dhr.virginia.gov/historic-reg...

Virginia Designates 10 Historic Sites as State Landmarks!

Among the 10 places recently listed in the Virginia Landmarks Register is the William H. Randall Estates Historic District, a 20-acre Black residential subdivision created based on the vision of Jube Shiver, Sr., an African American

Since Trump’s MAGA majority has controlled the Supreme Court, SCOTUS has overturned

42 years of precedent deferring to agencies

50 years backing a women’s reproductive rights

60 years of affirmative action

And-likely-a 90 year old case shielding the FTC

It’s the most radical Court in US history

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Workers need an economy that works for us, not billionaires and greedy corporations. That’s what America’s unions are fighting for on Workers’ Labor Day and every day.

It’s time that working people got treated with the dignity and respect we deserve.

NoVA Labor's annual Labor Day Picnic. A great event to support our union workers.

A great piece from Public News Service about how the Trump administration just doesn’t care about causing the suffering of hard working and dedicated Americans like my constituent and her family.

Famed NASA astronaut and Apollo 13 commander Jim Lovell has died at age 97 Lovell commanded the mission that almost ended in disaster after an explosion that threatened the crew's oxygen and electrical supply. The inspiring story of their survival was made into a hit movie.

Jim Lovell, astronaut and Apollo 13 commander, has died. I had the honor of meeting him as a young man. He was kind and generous with his time. Like me, he was of Czech descent. He was the first person to fly into space four times, and only one to fly to the moon twice without landing on it.

Lots of great stuff in Jay Jones' plan for "Keeping Virginians Safe" - and a huge contrast from the failed, terrible "leadership" of current AG Jason Miyares (worst AG in Virginia history other than Ken Cuccinelli) bluevirginia.us/2025/08/vide...

Virginians are tired of the chaos. As Governor, I'll be laser-focused on lowering costs and getting our economy back on track.

Sounds like a good legislative idea. Perhaps with some type of incentive.
