Raskin: In any event, if he really cared about public safety in DCโ€ฆ he would not have pardoned 1600 insurrectionists and violent cop beaters on his first day in office.ย

Sen. Alex Padilla introduces bills to expand voting rights access The introduction of the bills also falls on the same day as the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act.

Voting rights belong to every eligible American, no matter their language, no matter their zip code. Anything less is voter suppression.

George Allen writes a column in the Virginian-Pilot, laughably claiming that "Youngkin, Miyares deserve Northam's thanks, not his scorn." Not sure why the Virginian-Pilot published this trash, let alone non-critically amplified it.

Pathetic and dishonest, as always, by disgraced former Governor/Senator George "Felix Macacawitz" Allen. Also pathetic to see the Virginian-Pilot uncritically amplifying this crap. bluevirginia.us/2025/08/sund...

Crime is down. But Trump's authoritarian power grabs are escalating. Random street crimes are being used as pretexts for repression.

New in PN: Crime is down. But Trump's authoritarian power grabs are escalating.

"The fact that crime is down conflicts with the ever-present right-wing narrative of a nationwide crime epidemic. So Republicans are resorting to sensationalizing random street fights."

Reality: that โ€œextra revenueโ€ is higher costs paid by regular American consumers & businesses, and the โ€œtax reliefโ€ is going to the rich not you.

JD is pissing ๐Ÿ’ฆ on your head and telling you itโ€™s raining โ€” and @marshablackburn is using this line also as she runs for governor.

Sorry for the negativity. Due to personal reasons, I'm particularly nervous and anxious about my future.

Have a silly picture of one of my cats covered in catnip to make up for it!

Peter Dinklage is a better actor than Tom Cruz because Dinklage was able to obtain success without pretending he's not a dwarf.

Just realized I never posted this, my apologies!

I wonโ€™t be posting much over the next week or so. Everything is fine, Iโ€™m just taking my own advice and getting away from the shitshow - spending some time at the beach and a national park with the family before school starts back up!

Remember when they said Obama would ruin the White House with Escalades on the South Lawn?

Those people are really quiet about Trump turning this shit into a gaudy casino

A faction of MAGA is currently going after a Medal of Honor recipient for his political beliefs.

Iโ€™m not even mad about it, just profoundly disappointed. Some things used to transcend politics, but now? Nothing is sacred.

Itโ€™s gross, and we have to be better than this.

Trump on January 6: Nancy Pelosi stopped me from sending the DC National Guard to protect the Capitol.

Trump tomorrow: the President of the United States has complete control over the DC National Guard.

Make it make sense.

"How much does it cost for fascism?

Republican Rep Flood was EVISCERATED at his town hall today in Nebraska.

So according to Abbott, Texas Democrats are committing a crime because they want the districts that Texas Republicans drew up 4 years ago to stay the same until the end of the decade like every other state. Those evil Dems.

What exactly is a "family-friendly city"?

Also, isn't it boring living with "800,000 like minded citizens"??

Sounds like the Borg.

Fox News couldn't let the Sydney Sweeney story die. Jesse Watters sent his assistant Johnny out to Union Square Park to talk to some random New Yorkers about what they thought about it. One man was memorable. I've edited out everyone else. Some heroes don't wear capes.
