President Donald Trump's accusation that Iran is building nuclear weapons that could "soon" reach the U.S. is contradicted by a 2025 federal government assessment that said Iran is years away from the ability to produce long-range missiles. (via @politifact.bsky.social)

Lindsay Adams exists at the intersection of being a Black disabled woman, and her artwork illustrates that identity. We had the privilege of visiting her exhibit called "Ceremony". https://www.aapd.com/what-do-i-say-if-people-are-listening-lindsay-adams-on-art-disability-and-advocacy/

Democratic lawmakers say they are 'closely' reviewing new White House offer on DHS As the Department of Homeland Security remains shut down, the White House and Democratic leaders are continuing to exchange proposals to end the impasse.

A White House official said Friday that the administration sent another counteroffer to Democrats on Thursday. The official, granted anonymity to discuss private negotiations, called the offer "serious."

Israel’s endless war continues with more bombing of Iran and the Iranian people. Whether Iran, Iraq, Palestine, Yemen or Lebanon the region has experienced repeated Israeli and western killings and invasions and it always pushes peace away. The world must act to end the killing, stop the bombing.

Statement graphic with: "President Trump’s unauthorized military attack on Venezuela to arrest Maduroβ€”however terrible he isβ€”is a sickening return to a day when the United States asserted the right to dominate the internal political affairs of all nations in the Western Hemisphere. That history is replete with failures, and doubling down on it makes it difficult to make the claim with a straight face that other countries should respect the United States’ sovereignty when we do not do the same."

Statement graphic with: "Where will this go next? Will the President deploy our troops to protect Iranian protesters? To enforce the fragile ceasefire in Gaza? To battle terrorists in Nigeria? To seize Greenland or the Panama Canal? To suppress Americans peacefully assembling to protest his policies? Trump has threatened to do all this and more and sees no need to seek legal authorization from people’s elected legislature before putting servicemembers at risk."

My bipartisan resolution stipulating that we should not be at war with Venezuela absent a clear congressional authorization will come up for a vote next week. We’ve entered the 250th year of American democracy and cannot allow it to devolve into the tyranny that our founders fought to escape."

I’m all for Schumer being replaced especially if a woman replaces him but this call to primary Mark Warner will give VA MAGA folks just what they want. They are itching to take that seat. In any case, I hope Schumer is replaced by a good strong woman.

Horrible…. A breast cancer survivor from Virginia Beach just got in touch with my office… she’s paying $258/month for her ACA health insurance right now… it’s going to go up to $1,018/month if Republicans keep failing to show up to work!
