I’m proud to support @SpanbergerForVA for Governor. She has the character, integrity, and record of bringing people together to make the Commonwealth better for all of us.
At a time when our politics feel so divided, Virginians want — and deserve — a Governor who can work with anyone to deliver results. I’m proud to have the support of @BarbaraComstock, @Denver4VA, and Republicans across the Commonwealth who are focused on putting Virginia first.

Dude, get a grip! Stop your juvenile whataboutism. First these are grown-ass men, not college students. 2nd, the voters in Va. will hold Jay accountable for his words as they should. 3rd, you're Vice President of the United States, who are you accountable to when you make lame
This is far worse than anything said in a college group chat, and the guy who said it could become the AG of Virginia. I refuse to join the pearl clutching when powerful people call for political violence.

It is a dark day for free press of all stripes in this country. Nobody voted for a Pete Hegseth to limit Americans from knowing what is happening to its military every day. But buckle up—this is a press corps that never EVER stops reporting. The news will keep coming.
As of today, America no longer has a resident press corps at the Pentagon. Here is the statement from the Pentagon Press Association. Please read and share.

It is fascinating to see how much the Trump family lacks any sort of Christian formation. They use the language of Christianity like someone stumbling with a foreign language. It's almost like they just adopted the trappings of Christianity in order to exploit it for power.
Eric Trump: "We're saving Christianity. We've saving God. We've saving the family unit. We're saving this nation. I mean, DEI is out of the window, Benny. You no longer have Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem. You no longer have Budweiser going woke as hell. All of

Wow! One of ICE’s primary deportation contractors is suing the Trump admin for awarding a $1 billion contract to an unqualified competitor with close ties to the admin. They allege DHS notified hand-picked competitors ahead of time, then set a 2-day turnaround for everyone else.
NEW: A DHS "self-deportation" contract worth up to ~$1 billion was "unlawful, rushed, and noncompetitive," per a lawsuit. It went to a firm w/ no prior fed contracts whose CEO earlier worked w/ a top DHS official involved in the award https://t.co/5svsCAnR8r

Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, who stepped down from the court in 2018, has written a book about his life on the court and off. It's far more revealing than most books written by justices.

The Department of Justice is no longer the premier prosecuting office in America. What it is now is a Capo regime who goes out and executes hits when directed by the Don to do so. That's what it is.
