If their plan succeeds, Virginia Dems could pass a congressional map to flip 4 GOP seats & elect a 10-1 Dem majority in response to the nationwide wave of new GOP gerrymanders. My hypothetical map has 9 solid D seats, 1 safe R, & 1 swing seat. Interactive map: davesredistricting.org/join/598f596...
Here's the key thing: To amend the VA constitution, the lege needs to take two votes—one before an election, and one after. That's why Dems are moving to get this done before Nov. 4. If they succeed, then they can set a special election on the amendment for ~April.

ISP just arrested at least seven people including a woman with an accordion we they pushed protesters back down beach street. State cops in riot gear, sheriffs police and Broadview cops all on scene. People in fatigues closer to the building but can’t tell if they are Feds
Good morning from outside ICE’s Broadview, Ill. processing center, where the fence is down and a lot of concrete barricades are up. No protesters really yet — technically they are not allowed to start til 9 but we’ll see how that holds up.

Trump wants to send 20 BILLION to Argentina, but won’t extend ACA subsidies so our healthcare premiums don’t go through the roof? GTFOH😡 #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social Trump said me to about the plane. Like every country should.
@carlquintanilla.bsky.social I can't get into x on amazon? Said need product update?
I can prove, UNH, defrauded Medicare. I ha e monthly statements, which show it. When this was announced, back in January, they corrected my statements. It was fraud.
So word on the street is that DOJ is investigating United Healthcare for widespread Medicaid fraud (sounds like what Rick Scott was up to at HCA). Wouldn’t it be just typical for that sick company to be killing people by denying coverage on one end, while simultaneously stealing from tax

The court transcripts simply include the government's assertions, similar to the ones Bondi is making here. There was no actual evidence presented, because he never had a hearing much less a trial.
REPORTER: Why not show the public the evidence? BONDI: Well, he is an illegal alien who has been living illegally in our country from El Salvador ... He is not coming back to our country R: But the evidence. We're not gonna see the evidence? BONDI: We have the transcripts from the court hearings

I'm glad to see major outlets discover that Trump 2.0 will completely decimate environmental protections, public safety, corporate oversight, and consumer protection this kind of thing might have proven useful pre-election

In a health summary worthy of North Korean propaganda, Donald Trump‘s doctor cited his “frequent victories in golf” when discussing the president’s “well-being.”

I don't get Pam Bondi's anger. The Tesla events are just families on vacation going to dealerships to celebrate Tesla and the auto industry. Republicans told us as much about the events at the US Capitol on January 6th, right?
Pam Bondi: "If you're gonna touch a Tesla, go to a dealership, do anything, you better watch out, because we're coming after you."

@carlquintanilla.bsky.social I live in R.I. Have extra health, and Medicare and Medicaid. United health billed my Extra health instead of paying out of the plan. Fore years they did not pay. Last month they paid their portion!
@georgetakei.bsky.social It should have been a red state, South Carolina.
@darinself.com The land is worth something, otherwise, why would trump want it? Land is the 1st thing to buy.
@artcandee.bsky.social Don't confuse Medicare a federal funding, with Medicaid, a state run agency. SSI is disability for Medicare. I think that's how it works.
