Selling a Founding Father’s estate, for this couple, means leaving home Among the decisions Gayle and Tom DeLashmutt faced about Oak Hill was what to do with the Virginia mansion built by America’s fifth president, James Monroe.

Gayle and Tom DeLashmutt are like any elderly couple trying to downsize, only their transition is a tad more complicated: The home they’re leaving is a 1,200-acre Virginia estate that once belonged to a Founding Father.

Why Virginia lawmakers want to temporarily change how congressional maps are drawn The Democratic-led Virginia General Assembly is in the process of putting a constitutional amendment on redistricting on the ballot for early 2026.

"Democrats might be able to win more votes nationwide, but still be locked out of Congress for a decade, even though winning election after election after election after election nationwide by more votes." -- @ssurovell.bsky.social

Making America great again in every way!

I think there's some sales going on down the street

So will the GOP learn anything from their biggest defeat since 1961?

Trump kept struggling to keep his eyes open at an Oval Office event On Thursday, President Donald Trump seemed to struggle to keep his eyes open during a roughly 20-minute stretch at an Oval Office event on drug-price cuts.

So much of what this President has done for years is projection - he clearly doesn't have the cognitive ability or mental stamina to do this job at age 79

Aw hell no!

VA Senate Majority Leader Scott Surovell asks, rhetorically, who was more senile, Trump or Biden, "when Trump pardons a crypto kingpin who helped Hamas hide money...and he doesn't even know who the guy is"

Trump is, of course, a million times more mentally damaged than Biden...and yet that gets like 1 millionth the coverage in the media (e.g., the @jaketapper's of the world) . Gee, wonder why that is... bluevirginia.us/2025/11/mond... h/t @ssurovell.bsky.social

To be fair, I think Youngkin was so excited about yelling that a black guy should be sent to jail and a muslim should be deported that he didn't really workshop his sexist abigail as much has he wanted.

Women belong in their home? I thought we got past that about 50 years ago?

"Miyares has committed attorney general malpractice, abused his office for partisan gain and been wrong about dozens of other legal calls in the last 4 years so why not add more to the list as he wraps up?" - @ssurovell.bsky.social bluevirginia.us/2025/10/virg...

Right now @ssurovell.bsky.social is speaking on the steps of the rotunda. He is a UVA alum. Currently, he’s discussing the ouster of former uva president Jim Ryan.
