Political humor challenges dubious governmental narratives - that's what makes it so troubling to some. I look forward to seeing Colbert's next adventure.

It's not all in your head! @krisvancleave reports DCA's flight cancelation rate is up up 274% this summer over last, the worst change in the nation. Nearly 6% of flights canceled. On-time flights are down 10%. The flight cancelation rate at Dulles surged 104% over last summer

“‘This is a big development from the perspective of turnout,’ Farnsworth said. ‘Even in districts where you’re not going to win, you’re going to help pump up the vote for your party, and that can help statewide candidates.’” @drsfarnsworth @MSchmidtRVA virginiamercury.com/2025/05/07/dem…

Thanks Doc ! 🙏 @drsfarnsworth “…Farnsworth…said Democrats should recognize Reid’s value. ‘Fergie Reid is doing a huge favor for the Democratic Party… Persuading someone to run in a district that is overwhelmingly supportive of the other party takes some serious energy.’”

I can’t offer you inspiring words of wisdom or comfort in troubling times, but I can show you this video of Manny Ramirez, JD Drew, Mike Lowell and Tek going back-to-back-to-back-to-back on the Yankees. It happened 18 years ago on April 22, 2007.

“…financial reports reflect the national attention — and money — pouring into Virginia… ‘Virginia elections are often about angry voters… Democrats are angry, and they’re putting their money where their irritation is.’” @oliviardiaz @drsfarnsworth apnews.com/article/virgin…

For the first time in generations, Dems have a young people problem. @drsfarnsworth does a great job in this clip analyzing the divergence and what is driving younger voters (+who in the Dem Party attracts them)
