It’s a new day in Virginia. Have to celebrate.

This group of women. 💙 Look closely, and you’ll spy the Governor-elect of Virginia in the back! Me? I think my forehead is in the middle next to Lindsey’s.

Is there anyone left at WaPo?

Republicans, get to work.

Republicans don't need a single democrat to keep the government open. If the government shuts down, it's because republicans want it to.

Log Cabin Republicans Disrupted Yasmin Williams’s Kennedy Center Performance - Washingtonian Staffers say center president Ric Grenell's office set aside passes for the group, which booed and heckled the musician.

Please support Yasmin Williams, a local musician who is talented and generous with her time. She supported my non profit during COVID with a virtual performance for our donors. She’s just a lovely, kind person. www.washingtonian.com/2025/09/23/l...

Republicans just blocked the chance for a full vote in Congress to release the Epstein files. They’re banking on people not paying attention.

These cowards care more about protecting billionaire pedophiles than doing their jobs.

Just so we are clear, we are in the midst of a massive COVID outbreak in the DMV. But it’s not being reported and no one knows if and when the fall vaccine is coming out.

Democratic Texas lawmaker passes 24-hour mark on state House floor after refusing GOP demand for law enforcement escort | CNN Politics Democratic Texas state Rep. Nicole Collier has now spent over 24 hours on the Texas House floor in protest after refusing a Republican demand to be placed under the watch of the state Department of Public Safety.

Forcing lawmakers you disagree with to comply with 24/7 police surveillance is a gross civil liberties violation.

President Trump and his allies in Texas will stop at nothing to silence voters of color, including targeting the elected officials who represent them.

Good grief this is awful branding.

It is. I frankly wasn’t going to be surprised if I woke up in the morning to find out he’d given it away. Accidentally or intentionally. Could have gone either way.

For real, this is the stupid timeline. And every little bit is designed to distract from releasing the files.

Release the files.
