This was the 8-3 Virginia map Republicans used in the 2010s and no one bat an eye. Don’t ever forget about that.

Susan Collins thinks we should spend the ballroom money on ICE instead.
You can't make this stuff up.

@IanDonnis @BerettaLiz This is the right call. The reality is that Ken Martin would probably be replaced by someone worse.

Stop governing like a Republican and maybe we wouldn't have to worry about it.

Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger is urging her party to drop its quest for partisan advantage in favor of a more pressing issue: winning the midterms. Spanberger: “It is outrageously premature of us to be talking about any sort of redistricting or map changing effort when we have to win the most consequential midterms of my lifetime this November.”

I find this shit so funny because what do you expect they would say? Admit it? I’ve got 20 plus years of credibility on this stuff and did not have unions outside my office this week chanting “liar liar pants on fire” which Team Spanberger can not say!
Adam Carlson@admcrlsn
I have it on very good authority from several people in the know in Virginia political insider circles — including from people who have no love for Spanberger — that this is straight up not true.

A year ago, brave workers from Butler Hospital went on strike and stood together on the picket line for 96 days. Despite the challenges and obstacles they faced, these frontline workers rallied TOGETHER.
After 96 days, they secured a fair contract to guarantee every worker higher wages, safer working conditions, and improved benefits.
I’m so proud of our Butler workers and their commitment to improve the care their patients receive. #SolidarityForever 💜💛

Objectors will object, but this isn’t an awful list for CRMC:
A soil scientist
A long-time wetland scientist
An actual civil engineer
Two lawyers (try forming a a board in RI without lawyers on it)
A can’t explain (business owner to bring a practical perspective?)

Ohio's sales tax exemption for builders of new data centers was expected to cost ~$136 million in 2025.
The Department of Taxation now says the tax break cost Ohio **$1.57** billion in lost revenue, with most the savings flowing to Big Tech. signalohio.org/ohio-data-cent…

Outside of a few activists on her payroll is there anyone around that actually likes this Governor? To be condemned by DNC committees is unprecedented.

@daveweigel That also applies to the unconstitutional legislative maps. Unilateral disarmament is difficult to justify as consistent with the WA constitution. It’s really an open and shut matter.
English
@daveweigel That’s bullshit. Dems do not need a supermajority in WA. They just need the state Supreme Court, which is solidly blue, to rule the current maps unconstitutional. The WA constitution clearly bans WA maps from discriminating against Dems, which the current ones clearly do.

A reminder that Trump is primarily mad at Thomas Massie not because of politics or ideology but because Massie embarrassed him over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein and his ongoing cover-up of the Epstein files.

@WMATASoldier Why stop there? If we manage to flip the trifecta, we should lock in a stable 2/3 supermajority so we stay in control even if the GOP wins the Governor’s race in 2030.
