In other words, democrats are just going to cheat “temporarily”—by design. Because by the time republicans are back in power, the “temporary window” to reciprocate these actions will be closed and Virginia will be permanently blue….do you really think the Dems that hand drew these districts for themselves will be ok with just a temporary seat in Congress? If you believe that I’ve got an oceanfront property in Kansas to sell you.
Governor Abigail Spanberger@GovernorVA

I voted YES on Virginia’s redistricting referendum. Virginia’s approach preserves our bipartisan redistricting process for the future. It also responds to other states that are catering to a President who says he’s “entitled” to more seats in Congress. 🗳️ Vote by April 21.

Back in 2013 Republicans in Virginia had the votes and the maps to redraw congressional districts and wipe Democrats off the board. The plan passed the Senate and could have been pushed through the House. But Speaker Bill Howell shut it down and said that kind of raw partisan power grab wasn’t the Virginia way. At the time Democrats praised Republicans for showing “political courage” and respecting the integrity of the process. Fast forward to today and those same Democrats are doing the exact opposite. They’re openly trying to redraw maps to eliminate Republican seats and flip the balance of power. Same tactic they once condemned. Turns out “political courage” only mattered when Republicans had the power.

So your logic is "they were definitely hiding the real numbers" and your evidence is "the just released the numbers"? Yours is perhaps the stupidest thing on X today, a high bar. What I instead focus on is your apparent glee at death and injury of US soldiers. Sad.
Cenk Uygur@cenkuygur

Holy shit, they just released number of US troops injured so far in the war - 150!!! Number they gave before was 7 dead and 8 injured. So, they were definitely hiding these numbers. Why? This war is unpopular, and unnecessary. They didn't want you to see true scale of damage.

🚨WATCH: Virginia Del. Tom Garrett blasted Fairfax County prosecutor Steve Descano not only for Stephanie Minter’s murder, but for treating illegal immigrants better than American citizens. Garrett referenced WJLA’s past reporting about Descano’s immigration policy: “Wherever possible, Steve will make charging and plea decisions that limit or avoid immigration consequences,” Descano’s website states. Descano has dropped charges against multiple illegal immigrants so they could avoid deportation. Descano repeatedly dropped charges against Abdul Jalloh before he was charged with murdering Minter at a bus stop. DHS says Jalloh is an illegal alien. And police repeatedly warned Descano’s office about how dangerous he was.

Here is: An Iranian protester shreds the Hollywood frauds for crying over a paid ICE agitator who deliberately plowed into an ICE agent, yet you have no idea how Iranians have been living under the current terrorist regime.

Turns out that the affordable burger was a bait and switch for a very expensive spamburger... $14.99 plus 50 new taxes... Also, remind your server to pay taxes on her tip... Republicans tried to get rid of that in Virginia, but it died on a party line vote.

@GovernorVA Abigail is super concerned about “affordability” which is why her party is recommending hundreds of millions in new taxes on everything from uber to dog walking.

They are so bold in their lies that they call it “fair” while they silence us. Let’s stop pretending. When politicians redraw district lines to protect their own power, that is not fairness — it is manipulation. #Virginia #EndGerrymandering #ProtectOurVote

We can’t wait for people with suits and titles in Richmond to save Virginia because they won’t. It’s up to us. Democrats are trying to gerrymander us into a permanently blue state. This will go to a referendum and will be a special election, likely in April. Sign up for permanent absentee voting to get a ballot/REMINDER mailed to your house and never miss out on a chance to shape your government. Link in comments to learn what the 4 amendments are and how to sign up for absentee voting. 🇺🇸

@VAHouseDems Maybe the dumbest tweet ever... The top three states are Texas, Florida, and North Carolina... maybe if we were as "terrified of Trump" as they are, we'd still be number one...

Virginia dropped from #1 to #4 in CNBC’s “Top States for Business” because Virginia Republicans are too terrified of Trump to stand up to the devastation he’s causing to our economy.

As one of the closest House of Delegates races in 2023, the 41st District is once again a key race in 2025. I'm proud of my record of reducing taxes and costs on working families; delivering key resources in transportation, public safety and mental health; and promoting continued economic growth and opportunity in Southwest Virginia. With your vote on November 4th, we will keep Virginia moving forward together!
The Daily Signal@DailySignal

Virginia’s 41st District is heading into another closely watched election cycle. After narrowly winning a seat in the House of Delegates in 2023, @ObenshainChris is preparing for a rematch against Democrat Lily Franklin. dailysignal.com/2025/07/09/tig…

Virginia's 11th Congressional District Dems are charging $7,000 for someone to file as a candidate for the Primary. How do you say we are the party of the wealthy elite without saying it?
