Last year, Virginia Dems and Dem candidates vowed to make progress on affordability if they won a majority in the state House. After winning a trifecta in the state, they’re making it happen.
When Dems are in power in the states, they deliver on their promises.
“This is not a war that has been thought through at all.”

A report by the National Intelligence Council completed before the US and Israel launched attacks on Iran assessed that even a large-scale military assault on the country would be unlikely to topple its theocratic government. @julianbarnes.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/03/07/w...
BREAKING:
The Justice Department just posted online three FBI interviews that had been missing from the massive trove of Epstein files initially released.
They're related to unsubstantiated sexual assault allegations against Donald Trump.
DOC 1: www.justice.gov/epstein/file...
The 17-page executive order Peter Ticktin is lobbying Trump to sign would completely upend how Americans vote and have their ballots counted in an unprecedented attempt to usurp powers that the Constitution gives to states and Congress.

White House: the witness’s allegations are “completely baseless” and “backed by zero credible evidence.”
Fact: FBI found her credible enough to interview repeatedly, and she received a financial settlement from the Epstein estate.

DHS is building a surveillance apparatus—and you're probably already in it.
Our latest with @france24.com:
Trump: "I guess it would be illegal. Could you imagine? They spend millions and millions on a campaign. They're losing and they beg me for an endorsement. I give it, they win by 30 points. And I get nothing. If I could sell that -- is there a way? Is there a way I can get paid for that, Marco?"
Iran, which is being beat to HELL, has apologized and surrendered to its Middle East neighbors, and promised that it will not shoot at them anymore. This promise was only made because of the relentless U.S. and Israeli attack. They were looking to take over and rule the Middle East. It is the first time that Iran has ever lost, in thousands of years, to surrounding Middle Eastern Countries. They have said, “Thank you President Trump.” I have said, “You’re welcome!” Iran is no longer the “Bully of the Middle East,” they are, instead, “THE LOSER OF THE MIDDLE EAST,” and will be for many decades until they surrender or, more likely, completely collapse! Today Iran will be hit very hard! Under serious consideration for complete destruction and certain death, because of Iran’s bad behavior, are areas and groups of people that were not considered for targeting up until this moment in time. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Trump's psychotic, murderous post: "Iran is being beat to HELL … They said, 'Thank you President Trump.' I said, 'You’re welcome!' ... Today Iran will be hit very hard! Under serious consideration for destruction & certain death are groups of people not considered for targeting until this moment"

Years after Congress ordered a plaque to honor the police defending the Capitol on Jan. 6, it was finally installed — at 4 am this morning.
@oliviacgeorge.bsky.social was there. Read her eloquent, somber scoop.

Long past time.
Long-delayed Jan. 6 plaque honoring police quietly erected overnight at Capitol
Impossible to watch without tears❤️🩹. ‘I’ve been through so much. I .. endured ‘ this Ukrainian defender says with voice breaking . ‘ ‘how are my little ones?’ He asks with tenderness , and then, talking to his kids . ‘I missed you so much . I prayed for you everyday that you would be okay ‘.

One way to look at Newton's First La of Motion is that it takes one unbalanced force to change anything. Not majority opinion. Not good intentions. One unbalanced force, applied persistently, in a direction. Be that unbalanced force of change on March 7th. Take Back Our Science Rally standupforscience.net/march7
Still not sure if you should attend a Take Back our Science Rally today? If you do nothing, nothing will change, and the way the current administration deals with science, things need to change.

A classified U.S. report doubts that Iran’s opposition would take power following either a short or extended U.S. military campaign
“The White House did not deny blocking the terror bulletin”: www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...
The narcissism. "How dare you question my judgement in launching this nation into a Middle East war without consent".
Imagine being a US service member - or a member of a military family - in harm’s way right now thanks to Trump, and watching him refuse to answer a reporter's question about Russia helping Iran kill Americans because they dared to ask during a college sports roundtable on the sixth day of the war.
Yeah, Trump HATED that question from Doocy because the whole point of the presser was changing the subject from all the bad news to something anodyne.
Props to Doocy for both questions, the second being "What is motivating you to hold this discussion (on college football) now?"
Hang in there. There will be ups and downs but take solace in the knowledge that you will prevail.
Trump gets mad when asked Russia and Iran working together to kill US troops because he wants to talk about college sports instead
DOOCY: It sounds like the Russians are helping Iran target and attack Americans--
TRUMP: That's an easy problem compared to what we're doing here. What a stupid question that is to be asking at this time. We're talking about something else.
Today’s weak jobs report raises new questions about Biden’s economic policies
So let me get this straight ...
1. US bombs Iran
2. Oil price goes up a bit, benefitting Russia's petrostate
3. Russia gives Iran targeting info
4. Oil price shoots WAY up
5. US unsanctions Russian oil
