The Virginia Democrats flipped the last Republican-held seat in Loudoun County blue this year when they won #HD30.

John McAuliff was the one to do so, winning this Trump+1 district by two points. This makes him the most successful Virginian named McAuliff(e) this decade

Kempsville High School assistant principal charged for threats against police, ICE Virginia Beach assistant principal John Bennett and Mark Bennett charged for conspiring threats against police and ICE agents. Both are held without bond.

speaking as a virginia beach native if these kind of dudes are plotting against ICE then there is wide runway in public opinion for straight up abolishing the agency under a dem presidency

it’s nice to live in NYC now where almost all of our progressive politicians recognize the importance of building more housing

SF politics sucks because NIMBY conservatives are constantly trying to gaslight you into thinking that anti-transit politicians like Connie Chan are actually progressive

Edit Elon out of Iron Man 2. Just to hurt him. And it will.

I still maintain that the reason commercial rightwing media has done so well is that their base is just NATURALLY EASIER TO GRIFT FROM.

Dem media can't compete.

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

We have to turn impostor syndrome into a pill and give it to every prominent person in this country. They should constantly be worrying that they're stupid

It’s already in full swing 🙄

Analysis | By calling for the execution of prominent Democrats, President Trump is preserving the legacy of Charlie Kirk.

oil wars were the only thing his base elected him to stop more than elite pedophile rings

Olivia’s little buddy Bobby Jr. is more Bob Denver than John Denver, but her romance with a certain Appalachian trail hiking himbo had him saying “thank God I’m a country boy.”

Remember when people said Charlie Kirk dying was gonna tip the 2025 elections to the GOP….

Anyways Jay Jones beat Harris margins in VA

What I don't get is why wealthy blue states like MA and NY haven't done it.

NM is pretty conservative about a lot of stuff compared to CA,NY,MA etc

it is remarkable. I'm half convinced that we could have gotten a gerrymandering detente in 2012 if Dems had gone scorched earth in response to the 2010 REDMAP rig

Hagerstown mother and nail salon owner set for deportation to Vietnam Melissa Tran’s six-month legal battle has highlighted the impacts of President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement campaign on longtime residents and their families.

Melissa Tran came here on a Green Card at age 11.

She's since raised 4 kids, started a business, & is a beloved member of the Hagerstown community.

Trump is deporting her, despite a judge saying she poses no threat.

Is she the "worst of the worst"? Do you feel safer yet?

i will kind of accept this from some random person who barely pays attention. ben shapiro though? he's just lying

this would have been a month-long scandal in 2011

Wild they made the biggest inroads with Hispanic voters in a generation and they’re nuking it from orbit because they can’t help the racism

my biggest failed prediction was that average people were going to see in the summer of 2021 what happened to republicans during covid and be repulsed by what broken freaks they had become and I’m so mad that didn’t happen

She's very clearly trying to be the Marine Le Pen to Trump's Jean-Marie, and has made a smart bet on the utter credulity of a large swath of the pundit class.

Miyares receiving fewer votes than he (and Herring!) received in 2021 is kind of silencing me lol

Devastating piece on the human toll of Kavanaugh Stops.

Especially infuriating to know that rich white guys like Brett K can simply close their eyes to the human suffering their racist jurisprudence has unleashed.

New Jersey was actually bigger shock than Virginia

Can’t blame candidate quality or Federal cuts like in Virginia

In 2017 Chris Christie had the popularity of Norovirus and his LG was running

Still Dems got a bigger win this time for third consecutive term in Governor mansion

Dang that’s wild. This kinda points towards a bluer than 2018 environment.

Which is really bad news for the GOP in AZ, GA, NC, ME and possibly TX and IA
