Roanoke College poll: Trump is much more unpopular in Virginia than during his first term " data-medium-file="https://i0.wp.com/cardinalnews.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/RW11224Trump46-scaled.jpg?fit=300%2C169&quality=89&ssl=1" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/cardinalnews.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/RW11224Trump46-scaled.jpg?fit=780%2C439&quality=89&ssl=1" /> Nearly half of those surveyed see him as either a criminal or a fascist. Trump's worsening numbers in Virginia help explain this year's election and offer a warning for next year.

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.

She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

What does it say about this country that that the kind of open, rank bigotry Trump administration officials regularly express towards black immigrants apparently has no social cost because of the number of Americans who quietly agree or don't care.

FBI paid nearly $1M in overtime to redact Epstein files, documents show Bloomberg reporter Jason Leopold sued the FBI and DOJ for the files as part of a Freedom of Information Act request.

Trump promised you a fairer economy and the truth about Epstein. Then he used your money to hide the truth. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/fbi-overtime-redact-epstein-files/

Trump Administration Live Updates: President Calls Somalis 'Garbage' in Anti-Immigrant Tirade

Somali immigrants: President Trump unleashed a xenophobic tirade against Somali immigrants during a cabinet meeting on Tuesday, calling them
"garbage" he does not want in the United States in an outburst that captured the raw nativism that has animated his approach to immigration. Even for Mr.
Trump - who has a long history of insulting Black people, particularly those from African countries - his outburst was shocking in its unapologetic bigotry.
And it came as he started a new ICE operation targeting Somalis in the Minneapolis-St. Paul region.

Original tweet from @WallStreetApes reads "White people are on the verge of extinction

Global population of white people:

100 years ago roughly 35%
50 years ago roughly 20%
25 years ago 15%
Today just 8%

White people are the minorities and must take their countries back. No more tolerance. No more suicidal empathy" with a world map that shows white figures and Black figures supposedly representing the figures cited and text reading "White people be like gotta help the minorities at 8% of the world in 2021 whites are on the verge of extinction"

Elon Musk has quote tweeted this with the message: "If current trends continue, Whites will go from being a small minority of world population today to virtually extinct!"

Elon Musk is a Nazi. That's all there is to it.

It's appropriate to have Knicely and Rixey side-by-side. They're both from Virginia and their hometowns are relatively close to one another. They grew up many years apart, of course.

With a backup QB, the Commanders made big play after big play and almost knocked off one of the best teams in the league. No shame in this loss. Let's use the rest of this season build the foundation to make another playoff run next year. #HTTC

Great effort #Commanders. So many players had to make big plays just to give the team a chance to win there at the end. The team looked so much better this week and stood toe-to-toe with one of the best teams in the league.The rest of this season is about setting the tone for next year. #HTTC
