“And now he ignores the good people of Clifton Forge and the Alleghany Highlands. “I will keep my word, and I look forward to meeting folks in Clifton Forge on Oct. 14.”

“And in Roanoke, he has not met with constituents who have gathered outside his office every Monday for 88 straight weeks, through heat, rain, wind and sleet. Not even a wave or a hello.

The Community Conversation featuring Ben Cline and me, which was supposed to take place in Clifton Forge on Oct. 14, has been cancelled. Cline never replied to the organizers' invitation. I will be there anyway.

Virginia was hit hard by DOGE firings that affected the whole Commonwealth’s economy, not just the D.C. suburbs. Keep your eye on this one as an indicator of how big the blue wave actually is.

My Mom always said I was the sneaky one to watch. 😉 Thanks to Tim Miller of The Bulwark for moving my race to his list of Dems Who Can Win Red America. Here's the rundown from The Bulwark:

We cannot accept the reckless use of deadly force by federal agents as normal. There is a pattern of this administration misleading the public and withholding key facts after these killings.

Tonight the Senate is voting to start debate on the annual defense bill. It's essentially an Iran War authorization bill. A totally unprecedented 50% increase in spending to fund the war without any meaningful restraints. I'm voting NO.

With our team of 60 lawyers, Elias Law Group is currently litigating 85 voting and election cases in 43 states plus DC. Perhaps someone should ask the law firms with thousands of lawyers how many pro-democracy cases they are handling. For most, the answer is zero.

How ‘bout time to go. Need more than woe!

70% of Minnesotans do NOT want copper nickel mining near the Boundary Waters. The Senate has a chance to do right by them by leaving the mining moratorium in place.

Philly DA Larry Kramer forms a coalition with other district attorneys to prosecute federal agents who have broken laws at the state level. The name of the coalition is the Fight Against Federal Overreach or FAFO— I shit you not!

Dems coalescing around 5 restrictions on ICE, I'm told: DHS required to cooperate with state probes (big) CBP stays at border warrants for arrests IDs, bodycams ICE out of churches, schools "That package unites a lot of Dems," Sen Chris Murphy tells me on the pod: newrepublic.com/article/2057...

Donald Trump will not be president forever. He and his administration will be held accountable one way or another — and the Illinois Accountability Commission will make sure we do just that.

Rupar, living it: Democrats, all triumphant to squeak talkingheads onto hostile network media to blurt out canned scripts on affordability... meanwhile ICE smashes down the front doors of family audiences & tear gasses entire neighborhoods.

Democrats needing to message on affordability as the country endures a brutal authoritarian takeover is tragic. Take it from someone who lives in occupied Minneapolis. Our problems go deeper than prices.

Carney: "In a time of rising populism and ethnic nationalism, Canada can show how diversity is a strength, not a weakness... Canada can't solve all the world's problems. But we can show that another way is possible. That the arc of history isn't destined to be warped toward authoritarianism".

AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

This is NOT symbolic. If Dems adopt this position as a caucus, ICE get reined in. Full stop. Not after Trump, not after the midterms - NOW. Call your Dem rep and senators and tell them to back this play today.

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth have tried to silence me for speaking out. Today, I’m fighting back because this isn’t just about me. This is about the rights of all retired veterans and all Americans, and I’m not going to let this Administration take those away.

Amy Klobuchar: "There are now more ICE agents in Minnesota than there are police officers combined in Minneapolis and St. Paul. So they are outnumbering our own local police officers out on the streets."
